A group of German journalists visited southwest China's Sichuan Province this week to conduct research and interviews, an event hosted by the provincial capital city of Chengdu.
A total of 11 German journalists visited Chengdu, Deyang, Leshan and other cities, covering topics including high-quality development in Sichuan, cultural heritage protection, upgrading the cultural and tourism industries, opening up and cooperation, and digital cultural and creative innovation.
The German journalists said they were impressed by China's ancient wisdom and its development in the new era. They expressed their intention to view and report on China from a new perspective.
"What we call the new Silk Road now is the picture on the map. I realized how important it is. We have to have economic relations, cultural relations and especially young people, have to visit the other side of the world. But the most important thing and this is why I'm also here is that the media has to present a different view of China. And this is now what we should do. Not say China is a threat, but China has a chance for Germany, especially also the industry to have a chance to get productive jobs again," said Werner Zuse, a scriptwriter of New Solidarity, a German weekly newspaper based in Wiesbaden.
