Italian-language TV show "Discover China" premiered in Italy

An Italian-language TV show "Discover China" Season 1, co-produced by the China Media Group (CMG) and Italy's Netway media group, was officially premiered on multiple Italian TV channels on Tuesday.

It is expected to reach 60 million viewers across the European country.

From the unique perspectives of people from all sectors of Italy, the show delves into culture, economy, tourism, science, and art of China, offering viewers fresh insights. It also invites guests such as Mario Boselli, honorary president of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, and world-renowned architect Massimiliano Fuksas to tell their stories with China, guiding viewers to explore China's rich history, traditions, arts, and modernization.

The Italian production team has described the show as a bridge between East and West, aiming to present a more authentic and objective view of China to Italian audiences.

The show will also be broadcast on Netway's other media platforms, with an estimated weekly viewership of approximately three million.

Netway, headquartered in Milan, is one of Italy's largest media groups, encompassing TV channels, print, and new media platforms.

"Discover China" represents a deep collaboration between CMG and Italy's mainstream media, highlighting the growing trend of China-Italy media cooperation and furthering mutual understanding between the people of the two countries.

Iraqi citizens held a peaceful demonstration at Liberation Square in the capital Baghdad Saturday afternoon to protest against the five-week-long joint attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel.

They demanded that the U.S. and Israel immediately cease military strikes against Iran and opposed the United States' long-term military presence in Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries.

Since the U.S. and Israel launched military operations against Iran on February 28, security force bases in many parts of Iraq including those of the Popular Mobilization Forces, have been frequently targeted by airstrikes.

The Popular Mobilization Forces have issued multiple statements identifying the U.S. and Israel as the perpetrators of these attacks.
