I see my receiving the meda= as not so much personal but more as expressing China's enhanced

time of Chi=a's enhanced engagement with the world, and in this difficult peri=d of US-China relations, China must take
international communications seri=usly - to tell the world the genuine, variegated, complex story of China, =ut also to
understand world ideas and opinions more thoughtfully.
