Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

From October 31 to November 7, 2016, the Chinese Government, through the Chinese Embassy in Israel and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), hosted a media exchange program for nine Israeli journalists representing major Israeli outlets, including Yi TV 1, TV 2, TV 10, the Jerusalem Post, and Walla. The program aimed to encourage Israeli journalists to “learn about China from non-Western sources” and to strengthen bilateral relations between China and Israel. The delegation visited Beijing, Guizhou, and Shanghai, where they toured Chinese-funded enterprises and technology parks and participated in dialogues with Chinese media units at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
