Asian media vows to highlight globalization

Asian media will make a "stronger case" for globalization, regional news leaders vowed at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference on Thursday.

Guo Weimin, deputy director of the State Council Information Office, said that in the wake of anti-globalization sentiment, the media should retain a global perspective and uphold the idea of inclusive growth through cooperation.

"China is not only a beneficiary of globalization but a major contributor," said Guo. He noted that the Belt and Road Initiative that President Xi Jinping proposed three years ago has received warm applause from the international community.
