China Global Television Network (CGTN) and the Publicity Department of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee launched the 2025 "China Walk" media tour for domestic and overseas media in Wuhan on Wednesday.
Diplomats from many countries, including the ambassadors of Vietnam and Nepal to China, as well as over 20 journalists from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Türkiye and other countries attended Wednesday's launch event.
Over the next week, the Chinese and foreign teams will produce a series of programs focusing on the development of Wuhan, including its science and technology innovation, ecology, culture and tourism, as well as transportation, which will be broadcast on CGTN and overseas media in order to deepen the international community's understanding of Chinese modernization.
"I think when it comes to media and storytelling, one of the most important things is access. If you don't have access, you can't tell a very good story. Right now with us being here in Wuhan, we have the access. Perhaps that is the first, most important step," said Alican Ayanlar, a presenter and correspondent for Türkiye's TRT World.
"With the inauguration of 'China Walk', it has become yet another opportunity for us to work together in the future, particularly with the city of Wuhan, because up to this day, this is only the beginning of our journey here in Wuhan, but we have discovered so many things, so many aspects," said Rahmat Hidayat, a journalist with Indonesia's TVRI.
