Communication Strategies: why China is not too ugly in its .

Simon Lewis, the previous manager of communications for 10 Downing Street Simon Lewis, once was reported to have the opinion that corporate sector had gone farther than either political parties or the word media to embrace transparency and his suspicion was that the British people would make more work on politics.


But my opinion is that political communication will never stop up with corporate sector anywhere in the earth for the ground that government is but too complicated to be transparent.



Take China as an example, whose political communication is quite notorious. It is of course very comfortable to criticise its Great Fire Wall, 50cent Party, and what happen to the man right fighter Ai Weiwei(I am loath to see him as an artist).


I am sure not at all proud of the above. But if you wearing the hat of governor of a huge area with the world`s 3rd largest district and world`s largest population comprising of 56 ethnic groups, with comparatively low and uneven economy and education level, and sharing borders of 14 countries (most in the cosmos along with Russia and that doesn`t include Japan and south Korea which are too important neighbors), and see there are even more international hostile forces to grapple with, you will likely find a bit need to put down pointing fingers and more need to provide helpful suggestions.


It is far from whether politicians are willing to be transparent in communication but instead how to go from tussling among numerous interest groups, both domestically and internationally. It then not only determines fates of tens, hundreds or thousands of mass from various companies, but millions or even billions in China`s case of human beings. There is no political `right` or `wrong` but immortal `interests` only.
