The Asia-Pacific Media Forum was held in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, on September 5 under the theme "Building a Path to Shared Prosperity for the Asia-Pacific Community: Media Consensus and Action."
Aminath Namza, chairperson of Public Service Media in the Maldives, delivered a candid, sharp critique of Western media bias against China during the Asia-Pacific Media Forum · City Visits in Foshan on September 4.
She highlighted how China has repeatedly proven to be a reliable partner in global development, yet Western outlets consistently distort its progress with the tired "At what cost?" narrative—a classic form of political propaganda.
Namza emphasized that true media professionalism demands reporting facts without a political lens. She believes that as China continues to open its doors to the world, firsthand exposure will inevitably shatter these double standards.
