It was via these discussions, and online public opinion, that she recognized the difficulties of clarifying the boundaries between public power and private rights in China, Fu writes in her book.
Fu joined the general preparation for the congress-usually at the end of every year-mainly focusing on media affairs, including looking into public concerns and topics which the media keep a close eye on. That also formed the basis for her arduous preparation for the news conference, which is usually held one day ahead of the opening of the congress.
Those that overlap with the government's policy priorities for the year are very likely to be mentioned during the news conference.
She was looking for an insight into the current situation, the possible resolutions of existing issues, current policies and related lawmaking and judicial processes, and translated them into words that the public-the audience behind lens-could understand.
Fu attaches great importance to interactions with the public and the media.
She is an active promoter and practitioner of raising China's voice on both the domestic and international stages, especially in an era when the boundary between both becomes blurred by the development of information technology.
For decades of her diplomatic career, she has worked hard to explain China's situation, its value system and the Chinese way of thinking to the international community.
