'Edgar Snow Newsroom' launched

China Daily announced on Sunday the establishment of "The Edgar Snow Newsroom" to give full play to the role of its senior foreign experts and international friends.

The newsroom aims to present a true, multidimensional and panoramic China by better telling the story of the country and the Communist Party of China to the world, said Zhou Shuchun, publisher and editor-in-chief of the newspaper, when he announced the initiative at the Vision China event in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province.

Edgar Snow was a journalist from the United States who first made the CPC known to the world through his books and articles on the Party and the Chinese Communist revolution in the 1930s.

His book Red Star over China became an instant hit in London, with more than 100,000 copies sold in just a few weeks after it was published in 1937.

In March, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China hopes to welcome more Edgar Snows in the new era.
