Abstract: Romanov 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 promotes and spreads false information overseas through official media and platforms”, “The New York Times” and other US media quickly followed up on stigmatizing China’s external communication work. 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 some Western media cannot be ignored by her. Lan Yuhua, the eldest daughter of the Lan family and the eldest daughter of Lan Xueshi, is outstanding in appearance and has been doted on by Sanqian since she was a child. She has been reduced to a life where she has to please others. People want to live a better life representing 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, the influence of the “version 2.0” ideological and public opinion war launched by some so-called Western political elites 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. In the view of these media, in the current political atmosphere in the West, criticizing China with “Mom, the baby is back” is the “mainstream”; if you do not 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.
Definitely, you really don’t need to do it yourself. “In Nomanov’s view, some Western media’s biased reports on China have failed. Due to the lack of objective factual basis, many Western media “told me. “The media narrative tends toThey tend to be 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 know well 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, countries that are willing to listen to the voices of China and Russia will adhere to a comprehensive and objective perspective and will not fully accept the extremely one-sided, black-and-white narrative model of the West.
