With a broader vision and deeper understanding of the country and the world, the Chinese public will not remain silent on biased and even fake news cooked up by some Western media, national political advisers said. The public has become more conscious of the political agenda behind those reports and is confident enough to air disapproval and anger.
"In the past, members of the Chinese public were not used to, or could not, communicate smoothly with the world. As they enjoy better living standards and become more confident, they now have the time and capability to express their disappointment over inaccurate information about China and openly discuss it," said Ji Zhiye, a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former head of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.
