Let CPC's voice be heard

Sunday marked the first anniversary of the remarks on the publicity work of the Communist Party of China made by General Secretary Xi Jinping during his visit to some major media outlets. In his remarks, he expounded profoundly on the important role of the media, its responsibilities and mission, giving a powerful stimulus to both the domestic and international significance of journalism.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, Xi has attached great importance to the publicity work and has delivered important guidance to enrich and develop it. Under his direction, the country's media are making unremitting efforts to advance reform and innovation in line with the trends of the times, and adhering to the mission of transmitting positive energy to the public and strengthening people's confidence in their ability to jointly realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Reform and innovation are a source of vitality for the CPC's media work. With the rapid development of new media, its publicity work has entered a new social arena. And, whether through the promotion of specific themes or in the coverage of hot issues, the media are focused on telling Chinese stories and spreading the Chinese voice.
