Chinese President Xi Jinping's Quotes Take Center Stage in New Cultural Program
A multilingual TV program highlighting Chinese President Xi Jinping's use of classical texts in governance discourse premiered in Malaysia on Tuesday. The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping, produced by China Media Group (CMG), launched its Malay-language edition as President Xi began a state visit to the Southeast Asian nation.
Bridging Past and Present Through Philosophy
The 15-episode series examines how President Xi employs ancient Chinese wisdom in modern policymaking, focusing on four key themes: building global community, cultural preservation, ecological conservation, and cross-civilization dialogue. Each episode pairs historical anecdotes with Xi's speeches and writings, decoding his governance philosophy through classic texts like The Analects of Confucius.
Timing and Cultural Resonance
The broadcast coincides with celebrations marking 50 years of China-Malaysia diplomatic relations. Analysts note the program aligns with growing regional interest in China's development model, particularly among business communities involved in Belt and Road Initiative projects connecting Kuala Lumpur and Beijing.
