For Guyanese editor Samuel Sukhnandan, the recent China International Press Communication Centre (CIPCC) programme provided an opportunity that will have an impact on his writing as it relates to China.
In brief remarks at the Chinese Embassy yesterday, Ambassador Guo Haiyan noted that news coverage of China is sometimes misleading and CIPCC is a programme that simply ensures that articles on China are balanced.
According to Sukhnandan, the programme gave him a better understanding of China and its politics and he is glad to have been provided the opportunity to make connections with members of the Chinese Press. This he says would help prevent the publishing of any misleading articles as he would easily be able to contact locals on the ground to distinguish fact from fiction, resulting in balanced news coverage on his part.
