Mr. Walter said, “The most important mission of the media is to present the truth to the public. During the time, it should follow the principal of balanced reporting and describe the reality to the general audience without any modification. However, some U.S. media fail to report China-related news with objective and neutral standpoint due to stereotype. I have been and will continue calling for an improvement of the current situation with my colleagues and academics.” When talking about the upcoming G20 summit in Hangzhou, China, he suggested with the U.S. media’s high attention to this event, it could be a great opportunity for CGCC team to work with American press, keep proactive and true, to build positive reputation and image for CGCC and its member companies.
