There is a new spirit behind the work of CCTV reporters now that poor service and consumer issues relating to quality of products and contamination in food have been made priorities under the new Jinping-Keqiang administration. China's new leadership is turning its attention to these issues negected in the period of fast growth. Foreign companies operating in China are now expected to maintain the same high standards followed in their home market or come up for review.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
