In a significant cultural exchange initiative, China Media Group (CMG) has introduced the second season of “Classics Quoted by Xi Jinping” in Vietnamese, coinciding with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s upcoming state visit to Vietnam. This series, which commenced broadcasting in Vietnam on Monday, offers a unique glimpse into the philosophical and cultural aspects of Chinese leadership and thought.

The program, featuring quotes and allusions used by President Xi Jinping, aims to showcase the depth and charm of Chinese culture. CMG President Shen Haixiong, speaking via video at the launching ceremony, expressed his hope that this series would foster a deeper mutual understanding and recognition between China and Vietnam. He noted that the initiative aligns with the calls from both heads of state to strengthen exchanges on state governance, sharing insights into President Xi’s governance philosophy and wisdom.

He emphasized the shared desire of both nations to build stable, friendly, and cooperative relations, underlining the significance of this cultural initiative in promoting these goals.

The series began airing on Vietnam’s national television, VTC, and concurrently on its new media platform, VTC Now. VTC’s extensive reach across Vietnam and its substantial impact on the young audience makes it an ideal medium for broadcasting this series, ensuring wide viewership and engagement.

Alongside the launch of “Classics Quoted by Xi Jinping,” a daily news program co-produced by CMG and VTC also made its debut.
