Theme Interpretion:
Main theme: China and World over the Next Five Years: Knowledge Community and the New World Order Sub themes:
No.1 Experience Sharing and Path Exploration of Think-tank Construction The advantages of think tank are that it’s professional, policy oriented, prospective study on International pattern and free of communication so that the think tank is a pioneer in the construction of Knowledge Community as well as the construction of the world order. Think tank assumes the role of a bridge in solving the information barriers and building the Knowledge Community. The establishment and construction of think tanks should follow the principles of pertinence, science, sustainability and overall situation. In the process of regional integration and enterprises “going out”, the demand for information is urgent. Think tanks provide just such an information platform. The quality and the level of communication also affect the quality of information and the prospect of ‘going out’ to a certain extent. Therefore, we should strengthen exchanges with foreign think tanks especially those of neighboring Asia-Pacific countries, share experience in different areas and explore a broader path and mode of think-tanks building.
No.2 Chinese Discourse and Media Responsibility Taking the North American Report of “2014 overseas Chinese enterprises reputation report” for instance, concerns of foreign media promote the spread of image of Chinese enterprises overseas. Media takes the advantages of optimal openness, wide influences and feedback in time. We should enhance the openness among media, assess regional policies in many ways, evaluate the company’s image and behavior objectively and break the public opinion barriers from regional integration to the globalization. Media is the most active factor in the Knowledge Community and is an irreplaceable power of idea promotion and mutual benefit.
