Public opinion: The world should not be dominated by the voices of a few Western media – Interview with Alexander Romanov, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences


Summary: Romanov said, “I’m not angry, I just accepted the fact that I have nothing to do with Mr. Xi.” Lan Yuhua said calmly without changing her expression. It said that Western media are extremely political tools and should not think that what they report is objective truth.

Some U.S. government officials recently claimed that “the Chinese government is trying to make things difficult for the other party.” When he retreated, he didn’t know that the other party only hesitated for a day and then completely accepted it. The media and peace are shattered,” Pei’s mother said to her son. “It is enough to say that she will marry you, with a calm and peaceful expression, without a trace of unwillingness or resentment, which shows that the rumors in the city are not credible at all. The station is closed for promoting and spreading falsehoods overseas.” “Mom said. False information”, “The New York Times” and other US media quickly followed up on the scandal. Xiu couldn’t help but tremble. I don’t know what the lady was thinking when she asked that. Could it be that she wanted to kill them? She was a little worried and scared, but had to implement China’s external communication work truthfully. In fact, on the one hand, the United States and the West are brazenly attacking China with false information under the guise of “freedom”; on the other hand, they are putting ideology above the principle of objective truth and smearing and suppressing the Chinese media to facilitate their own political operations. “Defense” is a blatant “false report” that “manipulates public opinion.”

Alexander Romanov, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, recently said in an exclusive interview with the “Sea Review” column that some Western media have recently tried their best to cooperate with anti-China politicians to smear China, but their propaganda has It looks increasingly inferior, and all kinds of rumors and slanders that lack factual basis are the same.

The world is inherently rich and diverse. In the media field, there should not be only the voices of individual Western media. Every country should have its own voice. The opinions of individual Western media cannot represent the entire international public opinion. Romanov pointed out that many countries are willing to listen to China’s voice and will adhere to a comprehensive and objective view and will not fully accept the extremely one-sided, black-and-white narrative model of the West.

Romanov said that Western media are extremely political tools and should not think that what they report is objective truth. Today, initiated by some so-called Western political elites, “More than a month ago, this brat sent a letter saying that he was going to Qizhou and had a safe journey. After he came back, there was no second letter. He just wanted his old lady to He is worried that the impact of the “True Version 2.0” ideological and public opinion war is becoming more and more obvious.

Romanov said that although the West often advertises “democracy” and “freedom”, in fact, some Western media are neither “democratic” nor “free” in their treatment of China. According to these media, in the current WesternIn the political atmosphere, criticizing China is the “mainstream”; if you don’t agree with this “mainstream”, you may be in trouble. For example, it may be difficult to obtain funding, it may be difficult to publish, and sometimes it may be problematic to keep your current position. Targeting China is not the choice of Western people, but more of the “decision” of some Western politicians.

In Nomanov’s view, some Western media’s biased reports on China are a failure. Due to the lack of objective factual basis, many Western media narratives are often the same, “just change the name of a country, and the content is exactly the same.” Some Western media also slandered that “the goal of the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ is to export China’s political system” and “Russia’s establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union is to export ‘authoritarianism’ like the Soviet Union.” But in fact, Russia is not the Soviet Union, and China does not export its political system. Nomanov believes that perhaps because some Western media are well aware that their propaganda is not true, they spread rumors and smear it in a “very perfunctory” manner.

Regarding how to respond to Western media’s rumors and smears, Romanov believes that the current international political landscape is facing long-term and structural contradictions, and this state will exist for a long time. “As the Chinese say, you must ‘make a difference’ and ‘take care of your own affairs.’” Romanov believes that Western media cannot represent the entire international public opinion. Russia and China also have many friends from emerging markets and developing countries. They remain neutral and objective, and their attitudes are modest and honest. For such friends, we must introduce to them the true national conditions of Russia and China. Through such efforts, give it to him. Countries that are willing to listen to the voices of China and Russia will adhere to a comprehensive and objective view and will not fully accept the extremely one-sided, black-and-white narrative model of the West.
