There also needs to be focus on communicating the truth, more and better. Otherwise how can the falsehoods and prejudices be identified?

It is not easy as that. So long the western news agency has monopoly on news service the like of AFP, Reuter, AP,Bloomberg Aljazeera where most of the world newspaper get their feed on the world news
It is hard to rebut those fake news. They have near monopoly on news feed. China did start to change this false perception by setting up the World CCTV. Xinhua, People daily etc But it will take some time and need more sophistication to soft sell the message
I enjoy watching Prof. Weiwei discussing politics and such with other scholars. I really liked his interview with Aljazeera English.
And this new vid of him is short but powerful. Especially his last statement 'leave them in darkness' put a smile on my face
This is a new China. A confident China that will only be more confident in the future.

Democracy a wonderful chant by those who haven't fully understood humanity. One size does NOT fit all. It is democracy or the lack there of, that bore the systematic culling of one of the largest Middle Class populations in the West, 2008 modern great depression. It also is democracy or the lack of it in the West that brought about the horrid destruction of Iraq, total dismemberment of Libya (limb from limb), a 16 years of carnage, death and destruction in Afghanistan, Syria being reduced to rubble facing a blood stained Balkanization and Yemen is burning in the wake of Western backed sadistic, crazed Wahhabi Saudi elite.
The West seems to delude itself into thinking that it's ideals, must be adopted by others. When they are rejected and thrown out the door by nations. It is then when covert means are deployed to ensure that that society is transformed into carbon copies of themselves. By any means necessary, and history is littered with their "fine examples" of freedom, justice and liberty for all!!
The Chinese analyst is correct in what he says, democracy is not something that China needs or will ever want. Not a 100 years from now, nor in a 1000 years. Because China has observed the fruits of democracy take shape over these many decades. One that stands above all, is the ability of a democratic America cannibalize itself with $21 trillion in Nation Debt. A debt which will not be able to pay off, for the next 10000 years. This is most glaring reality of what Democracy and it's illegitimate child, Capitalism have achieved in the 20th & 21st Centuries!!

China’s gross domestic product is forecast to reach about $13.2 trillion in 2018, beating the $12.8 trillion combined total of the 19 countries that use the euro, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “The impact of China on global financial markets and commodities is no longer trivial. But its economic size also brings economic tensions in terms of market share competition in trade and investment,” as well as foreign policy tensions, said Rob Subbaraman, head of emerging market economics at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Singapore.

There is only one democracy , in Switzerland, everywhere else it is just diferent level of smoke and mirrors creating the illusion about that the people has a choice.
But interestingly, Switzerland is one of the most wealthy country, not part of any deffense organisation , and not part of any trade block.
In Switzerland it is forbidden to send any military personal abroad, or for any swiss national to conduct military serivceoutside of the country : )
If the people has a choice then they don't want any military adventure outside of the coutnry.
That is the hobby of the politicians.
