during the two year stay in tsinghua the class of XXhas the privilege of witnessing china’s dramatic transformation which will endup in overtaking the us as the world’s no 1 economy as early as the end ofXX according to a world bank report released in early may although most ofchinese officials and experts would cast doubt upon this overoptimisticprediction no one would deny that china’s rise would remap and reinvent thelayout of the global geopolitical arena since the us overtook the uk in the1870s the coming of china century in lieu of american century is no longeran urban legend
in the meantime we are also witnessing thesoaring impact of china’s new leadership heralded by president xi jiping whois also a tsinghua alum or daddy xi as weibo users put it and his notionof chinese dream and the new premier li keqiangs likonomics
however the world stillholds an ambivalent attitude toward china with half positive and another halfnegative toward china according a bbc survey released in may thus china’scharm campaign to better her national image and enhance her soft power becomesa timely urgency as future journalists and communicators the gbj graduates havetherefore been empowered to analyze the china and global interactions with amore multicultural and diverse perspectives in this globalized environ of tsjcthe most internationalized journalism school in china
since its launchingin september XX the gbj program as the first allenglishtaught ma programin journalism in mainland china have successfully incorporated the variousmedia philosophies and praxis from both china and the rest of the world andcreated an integrative teaching and learning environment with the participationof faculty and students from china and nearly 50 different countriesconstituting a growing united nations of media in a journalism school in classXX we have claimed the first gbj graduate from countries like costa rica(keren) lebanon (nadim) and georgia (koka) extending our alumni to thegreater outreach of the globe
on this occasion i also want to make a special mention of the excellent gbj graduates in class XX ms laura marti who won the university’s top ma thesis award mr himanshu kumar sethia from india who won the school’s top ma thesis award who also published extensively with global times mr nadim diab who also won the school’s top ma thesis award among chinese students miss wu yanni won both the university's top graduate award and the ma thesis award miss guo xiaohe wang wenyu wang yuqi wei wei wu danni and xiao dan won the school's top ma thesis award
in the next decadeof tsjc’s development the gbj program still remains the core of our school’s longtermgoal of interdisciplinary integration and academic globalization i hope youall cherish this tsinghua motto of selfdiscipline and social commitment andmake your own contributions to shaping a more sustainable world and a morepeaceful global community for the next decades and centuries
another less knowntsinghua motto is coined by professor chen yinque in memory of his colleagueprofessor wang guowei and is engraved on wang ’s monument quietly situated ina corner not far from the omnicom building both professors wang and chen wereamong the four tutors of chinese classics in the 1920s professor chen’s axiomreads independent thinking free will this is also the motto for everytsinghua graduate no matter you will become a journalist pr professional or aceo in the foreseeable future to maintain independent thinking and free will
one of the emergent globalissues is the economic disparities and widening income gap not merely seen inthe developing countries in china but also adequately uttered by recentprotests in egypt brazil and turkey even in welfare nations like sweden inthe wake of the sweeping occupying the wall street movement in XX thesilent majority never keeps silent in the age of social media the world hasseen the rise and heard the voice of global 99 the newlyrising middleclass the angry young men and still a larger body of people from the lowerstratum
harvard professor of historyneil fergusson published an article last june calling for the end of americandream as nightmare because it is testified as an accessible and affordable dreammerely for the global 1 namely the transnational power elite it istherefore quite natural for the global community to anticipate the alternativethat is the chinese dream
but whither the chinesedream as our daddy xi succinctly put it chinese dream is people’s dreamwhich provides adequate chances for every small potato to shine on their ownstage and to make their life meaningful and valuable as up to date the 290 million migrantworkers a combination of farmercumworkers in chinese language stillcontribute to the economic boom not only for china but also for the rest ofthe world thus as business journalists or media professionals we must alwaysremember to speak for the global 99 to ensure a better life for one billionpopulation (among them 400 million in china) who are still living in povertysimply put journalists and media professionals should always bear this chinesedream both accessible and affordable for the global 99 in their mindwhenever and wherever they are making news coverage to lend a helping hand tothe downtrodden to give voice and stage for the small potato to shine up and ultimatelyto achieve the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people
the concept of harmonyremains the core to the chinese dream in chinese language the word ofharmony (he xie) means that everyone would have enough harvest and have equalright to speak this chinese dream has been adequately elucidated by all kindof names confucianism communism socialism welfare capitalismenlightenment etc these different naming reflects that no matter whatideology we uphold we have shared the same dream for the mankind i hope allgbj graduates would take a lead in making the dream of a harmonious world cometrue
as early as the1960s the founding father of mass communication studies professor wilburschramm from the us has proposed the concept of nwico (new world informationand communication order) on june 1st XXmr li congjun theeditorinchief of xinhua news agency published a commentary with the wallstreet journal and called the founding of united nation of news mediaechoing schramm’s dream of nwico both xinhua and cctv along with four otherchinese media organizations have built the headquarters in major global citiesand expanded china’s visibility throughout the world with china’s peacefulrise and growing visibility in the global media sphere i believe the dream ofnwico will come true within your generation particularly the graduates fromthe gbj program the real united nations of media based in tsinghua
in conclusion i am proudof you all and wish you the greatest success in your future career developmentand lifelong pursuit of freedom equality and happiness for mankind whereveryou are booming or roaming please bear in mind that we are always waiting foryou right here in tsinghua your eternal sweet home and haven
