The "Two Sessions", considered the most important event on China's political calendar, is coming up. Delegates from across China are gearing-up to attend the annual meetings of China's top legislature, the National People's Congress, and the top political advisory body, the National Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Ethnic unity is always high on the agenda during the "Two Sessions". To understand how ethnic unity is promoted on the ground, CGTN host Liu Xin traveled to Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, to a city called Shihezi, where its administration has been put under U.S. sanctions for the past four and a half years.

Join Kevin Xu, founder of Interconnected Capital, and Zhan Xianyuan, Assistant Professor at the Tsinghua University Institute for AI Industry Research, as they discuss the future of U.S.-China AI competition and collaboration. This discussion is moderated by Liu Xin, Senior Host at China Global Television Network (CGTN). This dialogue was part of the 2024 U.S.-China People's Dialogue, which took place in Beijing on November 21, 2024.

In his 2025 New Year address, President Xi Jinping expressed his expectation for both sides of the Taiwan Strait to work together toward a shared and prosperous future. In recent years, cross-Strait relations have grown increasingly complex. To better understand the trajectory of the evolving dynamics, host Liu Xin spoke with Wu Jung-yuan, chairman of Taiwan's Labor Party, the island's prominent left-wing party. What mark has history left on him? And how does he perceive the current state of cross-Strait relations?

Since January, more than a million people from the island of Taiwan have traveled to the mainland for tourism. The number of visits for all of last year was under two million, so the rate so far this year marks a significant increase. Why are so many Taiwan residents coming to the mainland? CGTN host Liu Xin spoke with two young people from Taiwan at a recent cross-Strait youth development forum.

Join host Liu Xin on her journey in China's southeastern province of Fujian, right across the waters from Taiwan, to meet young people from the island chasing dreams in their ancestral land.

Despite the dim light, his nervousness couldn't be concealed.Zh: 刘欣，他的约会对象，是一名美丽而聪明的女士，对生活有着精细，独特的洞察力。En: Liu Xin, his date, was a beautiful and intelligent woman with a keen and unique insight into life.Zh: 她喜欢亲和真实的东西，受不了做作。王伟决定，他要用一种最为本真的方式来把她打动——他的筷子技巧。En: She liked things that were genuine and couldn't stand artificiality. Wang Wei decided that he wanted to impress her in the most authentic way possible - with his chopstick skills.Zh: 然而，事情并未按照他的计划发展。他伸出手，想要巧妙地夹起一个饺子，展现自己的优雅。En: However, things did not go according to his plan. He reached out to deftly pick up a dumpling to showcase his elegance.Zh: 然而，在刚要成功的一刻，一只滑溜溜的饺子竟然溜脱了他的筷子，甩向了空气，最终“啪”的一声落在了餐厅另一边。En: However, at the moment of success, the slippery dumpling slid off his chopsticks and flew through the air, landing with a "pop" on the other side of the restaurant.Zh: 餐厅内瞬间静默，所有人的目光都聚焦在了那只落单的饺子上。王伟感到无地自容。En: The restaurant fell into an instant silence, with all eyes focusing on the lone dumpling. Wang Wei felt utterly embarrassed.Zh: 然而，刘欣看向他的目光并没有他想象中的嘲笑。En: However, Liu Xin's gaze towards him did not hold the ridicule he had imagined.Zh: 相反，她露出了似乎试图掩盖的微笑。En: On the contrary, she gave a smile that seemed to be trying to hide itself.Zh: 她打破了令人窒息的沉默，“这就是你所谓的筷子技巧吗？”En: She broke the suffocating silence, "Is this your so-called chopstick skill?"Zh: 她楚楚可怜地装作惊讶，但嘴角的笑意却给了王伟意想不到的安慰。En: She feigned surprise pitifully, but the smile at the corner of her mouth gave Wang Wei unexpected comfort.Zh: 王伟心中涌起暖流，他知道他找对了人。En: A warm feeling welled up in Wang Wei's heart. He knew he had found the right person.Zh: 他并不需要刻意去取悦她，因为她欣赏的是他的真实。En: He didn't need to try to please her, because she appreciated his authenticity.Zh: 从那晚起，他们的约会更多的是轻松，有趣，而非紧张和刻意。En: From that evening onwards, their dates were more relaxed and fun, rather than tense and deliberate.Zh: 每次提到那个晚上，他们总会笑得前俯后仰。En: Every time they mentioned that night, they would both burst into laughter.Zh: 因为他们知道，那个晚上的“筷子技巧”，就是他们深厚感情的起点。En: Because they knew that the "chopstick skill" of that night was the starting point of their deep affection.

After Wang Mang deposed the Han Dynasty and instituted his new Xin Dynasty, he needed to promulgate a new calendar to mark the occasion. One of his court astronomers, Liu Xin, developed a new calendar that integrated the lunar and solar cycles with the planetary cycles and imbued it with numerological significance. We then talk about how Huan Tan, another astronomer of the era, would have gone about measuring the lunar mansions.

In a recent letter to the 5th China-U.S. Sister Cities Conference, Chinese President Xi Jinping said these links have been instrumental in bringing together people at grassroots level. There are 284 pairs of sister provinces, states, and sister cities between China and the United States since diplomatic ties were established between the two countries in 1979. In this special edition of The Point, host Liu Xin visits Long Beach in Los Angeles, a sister city with Qingdao in east China. The cities have been paired since 1985. How much has Long Beach benefited from this relationship? How has that link been maintained, especially during the past few tumultuous years? What potential is there to further tap into?

What's the connection between Monkey King & the Belt and Road Initiative? Join us in this special edition of Headline Buster marking the 10th anniversary of the BRI as CGTN's Liu Xin unravels how some Western media try to derail the BRI through a geopolitical lens. She is also joined by a panel of experts to unpack how the BRI has made a difference and what kind of difference it will continue to make.

The 19th Asian Games is set to start in Hangzhou. CGTN host Liu Xin spoke with the presidents of two international sports federations. What are their expectations for the Hangzhou Asian Games? And how do they evaluate the development of China's sports industry?

While the mainland has repeatedly stressed that Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Straits are one family bound by blood, authorities on the island have rejected the consensus that both sides belong to one country. The U.S., for its own selfish interests, keeps interfering on the issue and needs an obedient servant in control of the island. In this special edition of The Point, Liu Xin shares highlights from her interviews with prominent figures on the Taiwan island.

On July 6, a ceremony was held in Beijing to mark the 70th anniversary of what's known as the "Icebreaking Mission" by a group of British business people to China. In July of 1953, Jack Perry led 15 representatives from British companies, on the first ever such trip by a major Western country to the People's Republic of China after it was founded in 1949. The delegation signed deals worth 30 million pounds with China. What's the lasting impact of this "Icebreaking Mission"? What's the current status of China-UK relations? Do we need more such missions? In this special edition of The Point, CGTN host Liu Xin sits down with Jack Perry's son, Stephen Perry, to explore more.

As people of Xizang mark the 72nd anniversary of the peaceful liberation of the region in Southwest China, CGTN host Liu Xin shares her observation from a recent trip to Xizang. She addresses rhetoric and narratives aimed at diminishing China's work and progress in promoting development and religious freedom in the region.

Yes, the world is full of problems. As we ring in the new year, there is nothing more important than a serious discussion about how to save the world, even if it's with stand-up comedy. In this special edition of The Point with Liu Xin, we bring you to a stand-up comedy club in the middle of Beijing. And our host Liu Xin stood on the stage for her first stand-up show.

Yes, the world is full of problems. As we ring in the new year, there is nothing more important than a serious discussion about how to save the world, even if it's with stand-up comedy. In this special edition of The Point with Liu Xin, we bring you to a stand-up comedy club in the middle of Beijing.

The Year of the Rabbit is approaching. Over the past year, what were some of the objectives on the United Nations' agenda and what will take precedence in 2023? Liu Xin takes a tour in the UN Compound in downtown Beijing with the UN Resident Coordinator.

In this special edition on China's new face in the fight against COVID-19, Liu Xin had an exclusive dissection of the details with Dr. Shao Yiming, former Chief Expert on AIDS at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Management, and a current member of the Vaccine Task Force of the Central Government's COVID Control Mechanism; Dr. Kate Tulenko, CEO of the health workforce company Corvus Health, and Former Vice President of Health Systems Innovation; and from Singapore Prof. Wang Linfa, Emerging Infectious Disease at the Duke-NUS Medical School.

What are Chinese characteristics all about? How can African countries take a page from the China story to write their own chapter of development? Liu Xin sat down with South African scholar Paul Tembe who just published a book on Xi Jinping Thought.

People from the Global South are keenly watching the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In this edition of The Point, Liu Xin speaks to Dr. Paul Tembe from South Africa who believes that China can serve as a governance model for his nation and many others. The host also sat down with a long time China observer, Prof. Colin Mackerras, a Sinologist who specializes in Chinese culture, ethnic groups and China's evolving image in the world. He was mentioned as a bridge-builder during President Xi Jinping's address to the Australian parliament in 2014. What kept him going through all the ups and downs in the bilateral ties between the two nations? What does he make of the 20th CPC National Congress and its key messages?

In this special edition of The Point, Liu Xin interviewed Hung Hsiu-chu, former Chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang Party and Chairman of the Chinese Cyan Geese Peace Education Foundation. Hung shared her views on the Taiwan question, the rationale behind China's countermeasures and the root cause of heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait.

China released a white paper on the Taiwan question on Wednesday. It outlines China's goal as peaceful reunification, while reserving the right to use all necessary measures. It also highlights the past four decades of economic development and increased cross-strait exchanges as the foundation for reunification. The White Paper named the ruling Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan as the force stoking tensions in cross-strait relations. What do people in Taiwan think? Are they confident of reunification? Liu Xin sat down for an exclusive interview with Hung Hsiu-Chu, Former Chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang Party and chairman of the Chinese Cyan Geese Peace Education Foundation.

The PLA conducts live-fire drills near Taiwan in response to U.S. House Speaker Pelosi's sneaky visit to Taiwan Island. China also suspends cooperation with the U.S. in climate change and other fields. The great majority of the international community including international organiztions such as the United Nations have expressed their adherence to the one-China principle in the face of U.S. provocation. Who has de facto changed the status quo over Taiwan? Who has really caused rising tension in the region? Liu Xin sat down for an exclusive interview with China's Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu. He explains why Chinese reactions are the justified and appropriate response to U.S. provocations.

How does it feel for a lawmaker to be able to focus on work without fear of disruption? In this edition of The Point, Liu Xin talks to Junius Ho, who witnessed the changes from chaos to order in Hong Kong's local legislature.

Pride in being right and better, Greed for attention, Lust for control, Envy of success, Gluttony for toxic sources, self-defeating Wrath, and Sloth in critical engagement. In this special edition of Headline Buster, Liu Xin reveals the widespread sins that are plaguing Western media reports on China.

In order to protect itself, the Chinese regime has refused to denounce Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a star Chinese state media TV anchor in Beijing has told her viewers. https://ept.ms/3Neuk6I Chinese State Media Anchor, Russia's invasion, Ukraine, Joe Biden, Xi Jinping, Liu Xin

We are told the new strategic alliance comprising the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia is not directed against China. But of course it is. Washington has developed numerous alliances against Beijing, but AUKUS has a nuclear dimension. Tensions are rising in the Pacific, and no doubt China will react. CrossTalking with Liu Xin, James H. Nolt, and Renaud Girard.

After a month away from the news, this episode Allan and Darren try to catch up. They begin with tragedy and turmoil in the United States. What do the protests and racial tensions—and Trump’s efforts to handle them—say about the US? Are there any implications for Australia? Turning next to recent events in Australian foreign policy, we now have a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with India—is this significant? And what should PM Morrison do about President Trump’s invitation to the (delayed) G-7 summit in September? Next, while noting the story is not over, Darren asks Allan for what lessons he draws from the Australian government’s call for an independent inquiry into the early handling of Covid-19, and everything followed, culminating in the World Health Assembly resolution in mid-May. Hong Kong is next on the agenda, with a focus on the logic behind Australia’s decision to issue two joint statements criticising Beijing's recent moves, rather than going it alone, as New Zealand did. Finally, geoeconomic issues are very much back in Australian news, with proposed new foreign investment review powers for the government, a travel warning issued for Australia by the Chinese government, and reporting that the Five Eyes grouping is considering a coordinated strategic economic response to the Covid-19 crisis.

On May 31, 2019, a highly anticipated debate took place on Fox Business network, between two news anchors. The event unfolded against the backdrop of US-China Trade War. The two anchors, Trish Regan, and Liu Xin of China's CGTN, had been sparring on social media over the trade war. On May 23, Trish tweeted, “Hey China State TV - let’s have an HONEST debate on trade. You accuse me of being ‘emotional’ and not knowing my facts. Wrong! You name the time and place, and I’ll be there!” Liu accepted the challenge and the two anchors decided to face off in a prime-time debate. What makes this news interesting is that Liu is no ordinary figure. She works for China’s CGTN, which is a state-run English news network that broadcasts globally. CGTN is a government media that projects the ambition of a rising economic and political power. It seeks to challenge the hegemony of CNN and BBC in setting the global news agenda. Hello, welcome back to COMM one twenty-two Podcast. I am your host, and in this episode, we will discuss government media.It is easy to spot content produced by government media. When watching a YouTube video, you might notice a line below the video that says “XYZ is funded in whole or in part by some government.” There are some notable examples of government media. Russia Today is a 24-hour, multi-language news channel funded by the Russian government. Al Jazeera, another news channel specializing in the coverage of the Middle East, is funded in whole or in part by the Qatari government. The American government also supported its very own media organization, called Voice of America.While government media of different countries vary greatly in editorial independence, they share some common attributes: for one, their major funding source comes from a national government. Secondly, they are controlled and operated by government offices and entities, to advance their ‘development agenda’, and as a source of ‘soft power.’Government media has caused quite a bit of political controversy in recent years. Political pundits and analysts accused Russia Today and another Russian outlet Sputnik of spreading disinformation to meddle in the 2016 election. China’s CGTN was also accused by western politicians of mischaracterizing and smearing the current protests in Hong Kong. These government media are widely seen as the mouthpieces of authoritarian or semi-authoritarian governments. Here in the states, the most notable example of government media is Voice of America, also known as V O A. V O A is set for international broadcasting and is part of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, USA GM. The mission of USA GM is to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. Government-funded the agency with budget of $753 million in the fiscal year of 2016. USA GM, as a government agency, is led by a single CEO appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.In theory, Voice of America seeks to represent American society and its value. This does not necessarily make it the mouthpiece of a particular US administration. The “firewall” enshrined in the 1994 US International Broadcasting Act, prohibits interference by any US government official, in the objective, independent reporting of Voice of America. With these characteristics in mind, what do you think are the limitations of government media? Perhaps, you would say, depending on their “governance structure” and who controls operations, government media tend to be more exposed to government interference and control. But, in my defense of government media, under some circumstances, government media become necessary. For instance, during the World War Two, V O A played a critical role in the information war against the Nazi Germany. During the cold war, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Free Asia, both are supported by the US government, brought uncensored news to an audience li

In this episode, Erik and Juliet interview Yunnan Chen (PhD candidate at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies) about two Chinese-built railway projects, one in Kenya and one in Ethiopia. The comparison between the two cases provides reflections on how host countries negotiate over debt funding for infrastructural projects, and the logistical and cultural challenges the developers have faced in getting both projects off the ground. Our discussion draws on Yunnan's recent article in Quartz entitled, "Ethiopia and Kenya are struggling to manage debt for their Chinese-built railways."RecommendationsYunnan"Chinese firms and employment dynamics in Africa: A comparative analysis."

Juliet The Three Body Problem (三体), a novel by Liu Xin which opens during the Cultural Revolution and moves into a period of state promotion of "scientific and technological rejuvenation" through the 1990s. The English translation includes a reflection by Liu Xin on the role of the sci fi genre in stretching societal concepts of the realm of possibility, and the relationship between English and non-English language sci fi writing.

The Wǒ Men Podcast is a discussion of life in China hosted by Yajun Zhang, Jingjing Zhang and Karoline Kan. Previous episodes of the Wǒ Men Podcast can be found here, and you can subscribe to Wǒ Men on iTunes here. Against the backdrop of the China-US trade war, the recent “debate” between two presenters from opposing sides of the argument — Trish Regan from the Trump-supporting Fox network and Liu Xin from State-owned Chinese media platform CGTN — attracted a lot of eyeballs. What materialized was ultimately more of a conversation than a debate, yet it was refreshing to see China’s State media engaging in a direct conversation with an international audience and attempting to share its perspective directly into the homes of audiences in the US. Related: But what’s at the root of the perception that China is afraid engaging of in difficult conversations? What’s going wrong with China’s so-called soft power project? And is there a better way to tell a good China story? In the latest Wǒ Men Podcast, Jingjing and Karoline share their own experiences and observations regarding China’s attempts at storytelling and soft power and how these have evolved in recent years.

Dr. Parag Khanna wears many hats: as a strategic advisor & consultant to global companies and governments; a TED Talker, speaker, & world traveler with both data- and experientially based insights into a host of pressing issues; and an author. His most recent book, The Future Is Asian, discusses not just the well-trod “Asian Century”  concept, but seeks to have a pan-Asian conversation to look at how the entire world is becoming Asian-ized. Dr. Khanna has been on a speaking & consulting tour through China specifically, and Yingying li caught up with him after one such event the other day for this interview. From there, he went on to speak with Liu Xin, host of CGTN’s “The Point”, who has recently become famous Stateside for her ongoing dialogue with Trish Regan from FOX News. His LinkedIn page reveals a widely varied background ranging from Georgetown University to the London School of Economics, with time spent as a senior fellow at think-tanks such as the New America Foundation to serving as a Managing Partner, Advisor, Founder, or CEO at companies from New York City to Singapore. Among his more personal interests are his roles helping smart startups that are focused on improving the health of and opportunities for kids, which I found especially notable. All in all, it was a great, valuable talk, and we look forward to doing another one in the future.  BLOG & LINKS: https://www.howchinaworkspodcast.com/resources
