Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported on May 17th: "Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jia Kun said that the attacks and smears against China have never stopped. Only by speaking out in time and proactively can China's voice seize the first opportunity and firmly defend China's discourse territory."
In the present situation, the truthfulness and certainty in the international public opinion arena have become scarce commodities. Timely proactive speech is of vital importance for China. On one hand, it enables China's voice to be heard by the international community at the earliest moment, seizing the initiative in information dissemination, avoiding false information from taking precedence, and enabling the truth to quickly dominate the mainstream, guiding the international public opinion towards an objective and rational direction. On the other hand, it also demonstrates China's firm stance and attitude in the face of malicious defamation, defending national interests, and safeguarding ethnic dignity.
