Stephen Harper warns China likely to be increasingly assertive as U.S. takes less dominant international role
 
OTTAWA – Former prime minister Stephen Harper said the West needs to be prepared for a more robust and aggressive China going forward in a world where the U.S. may not be so dominant on the international stage.

Harper spoke Friday at the Conference of Defence Associations Institute’s annual conference, in a conversation with Richard Fadden, who was Harper’s national security advisor. The conference was held virtually this year, but usually takes place in Ottawa and the National Post is a sponsor of the event.

Chinese Official Media Globally Recruit Reporters and KOLs are “The Media Challengers”

The Chinese official media CGTN, who has been fined and revoked license by England during the beginning of the year, recently held a “The Media Challengers” program. It is recruiting English-speaking reporters and KOLs. Those selected will receive a $10,000 bonus and get a full or part-time job in CGTN. Besides the Chinese international students, there are also some from Zimbabwe and Zambia. Some British experts believed that local audiences may think that the international community admired CCP if Western social media KOLs announce official Chinese messages on certain issues.

According to the official Weibo of CGTN, “The Media Challengers” is a “Recruitment of Global Host Reporters and KOLs” and is the first global event. It aims to “inject new power into international communication in a media-converged environment”, to recruit host, reporters, DJ and KOLs for English reports and creation. There are no limits for nationality.
