Media builds bridges between nations

BEIJING - As Sino-Indian relations become increasingly important to both sides, the media's role as a bridge linking the two peoples is becoming more significant.

Ananth Krishnan, a 26-year-old Indian who is now working in Beijing as a reporter, said his view of China changed greatly after his arrival in the country.

"I don't want to sound stupid, but the fact is before I went to China, the country was like a blank in my mind."
