After simply reading its table of contents, I was fairly positive that Chinese Style--The Diplomatic Career of Wu Jianrnin would be a great success. Now, having actually read the text, I realize my first Opinion was most definitely correct. Wu is only one year older than me, which puts us in the same age bracket. Before reading the book, I knew his personal diplomaticexperiences from the newspaper reports. As the book contains many things which were not covered in the newspapers, I find the book nformative and interesting. I am therefore certain that readers will gain a better understanding of Wu's diplomatic career.

Wu Jianmin often compared and analyzed the reports of different journalists covering the same issue and the reports of any one journalist on the same issue over different periods. Why did the journalists write in different ways on the same issue and declaration？ Why would a journalist adopt different attitudes at different times？Gradually Wu Jianmin searched out the rule: what were the issues that most concerned journalists and what were the different points of views held by different media members; how to make sure a speech attracted press attention so that its essence was included in their reports; what words could cause echoes but would still not be reported; and why some words would not cause any echo at all.In the Information Department there was a young officer, newly joined. He spent one month making a sample survey on reports about China released by various major news agencies. He classified these reports into political, economic, and social affairs. After analysis, he found that journalists often added their opinions to political reports and included both narration and argumentation. Most economic reports, on the other hand, were comparatively objective and included few subjective viewpoints. After analyzing the survey, Wu Jianmin realized that China's economy was in growth and journalists were aware of the fact. This could form the basis of China's image to the outside world.Subsequently, Wu Jianmin consciously granted outside interviews and managed to make it more convenient for them to report economic news. For example, he personally set up and participated in the press-group for reporting outside Beijing and had them see the actual economic situation. Thereafter, there appeared more reports on China's economy gathered by foreign journalists and the outside world learned more about the present and real China by means of this objective economic reportage.
On behalf of the Government of the French Republic, Igranted Wu Jianmin the Legion of Honor as a token of sincere thanks for his successful work in France. ——Jacques Chirac, Former President of the French RepublicWhen you were appointed Chinese Ambassador to the Geneva Office of the United Nations, I worked in the US State Department. Some of my colleagues discussed as to why Wu Jianmin was appointed. All guessed Wu Jianmin was a person who was not easy to cope with. Facts later proved the accuracy of this guess. ——C. Robert Moore, Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African AffairsAfter simply reading its table of contents, I was fairly positive that Chinese Style——the Diplomatic Career of Wu Jianmin would be a great success. Now, having actually read the text, I realize my first opinion was most definitely correct. ——Zhao Qizheng, Former Minister of the Information Office of the PRC State Council
