cctv.com 04-30-2004 16:51
Journalists are always criticized as the biggest name-droppers and sleeve-tuggers, who only know what but never really know how or why. Anchor鈥檚 job is not as glamorous as it superficially looks like, especially in economic and financial news reports 鈥 how many of us can really gain respect from audiences or readers like what David Faber, Martin Wolf or Shuli Hu has achieved, plus it is really a labor-intensive work which including chasing your interviewees all way around just for verifying a tiny bit of real truth?
But no doubt reporting economic and financial news in China can be more exciting than elsewhere in the world. So many things happening in China锛宎nd continuous debates on where the country should go and how to manage the risks, which are something that Keynes or Friedman can not answer while Chinese macro-policy is trying to sort out will at least be much fresher than things have been going on a matured market for ages. And when I dialogue with people in the field, I find it interesting that on one side is always the optimism from foreign economists who are amazed by the rapid development of China, while on the other side is the unavoidable perplexity from domestic think-tankers who know exactly where the problems are, and facing them soberly 鈥 But these are not contradictions when they all turn eyes on a rising star.

It takes me years to believe that media does carry significant value not only as an information conduit, but also as an effective supervisory mechanism in the development trajectory of a nation-state, especially when a country is in a transition process and marching towards its leadership in global system. Those successful TV programs and prominent presses all grow along with the development of the market. Therefore if the market is maturing in China, Biz China is also following the pace and I will be more willing to be involved to offer all the best to our audiences.
For me, nothing is more exciting than to witness a country鈥檚 growth trajectory and nothing is more honorable than to work for my own country, even during an irreversible globalisation process which erodes national identity and geographic boundaries.
