In this 'new era' of Chi=a's reform and opening up, in this transitional time of China40=804,s enhanced engagement with the world, and in this difficult period of=US-China relations, China must take international communications seriously=- to tell the world the genuine, variegated, complex story of China, but a=so to understand world ideas and opinions more thoughtfully.
