From rereading Xi Jinping: The Governance of China to reporting from the floor of the two sessions, a young foreign journalist of China Daily Youth Channel found himself drawing closer to the real workings of Chinese democracy. In contrast to the one-sided narratives long shaped by parts of Western media and education systems, what he saw in China was not an imagined political abstraction, but a vivid and effective democratic practice. At the two sessions, deputies from across the country and from all walks of life brought frontline concerns, local experience, and public expectations into the national decision-making process. In this episode of Shining Wisdom, listen as he explains how the theories he found in the book were illuminated by the China he witnessed in person, and why the country's governance wisdom deserves to be understood through reality rather than misconception.
