From The People’s Daily Online:
In “going global”, we should stress introducing traditional Chinese culture, especially new Chinese culture. It is totally necessary to carry forward the fine traditions of the Chinese culture to let the world appreciate the permanent charm of the longstanding traditional Chinese culture. At the same time, we should also stress introducing the rapidly-developing new Chinese culture, build up contemporary China’s image characteristic of reform, opening-up and peaceful development — to let the world people have a more comprehensive understanding of the history and reality of Chinese culture, thus help them know the true features of contemporary China.
Under the background of economic globalization, we should lose no time to put the strategy of international cultural development on the agenda. This concerns the question of how to establish the important status of Chinese culture among global cultures under the general situation of world multi-polarity and economic globalization. An independent and prosperous Chinese culture is a strong spiritual power and a concrete manifestation of China’s overall national strength.
