Connected world provides opportunities to engage in dialogue to alter outdated and prejudiced views of the country
While China is now constantly discussed around the world, it is still portrayed in the global media as aggressive and not open to dialogue.
But if the world's media took the time to learn about China and support a constructive dialogue it would see that this is not the case. Unfortunately that is unlikely to happen as many of the rich countries today are in decline and adopting a retrograde mentality. Because of this, old ideas and stereotypes about China still dominate the global media, both traditional and new social media.
