International mainstream media often reduce their coverage of a country solely based on the risk of a conflict, or narrow it to an ongoing war. But how do the Taiwanese media assess this simplistic portrayal? Global Voices spoke to Chris Wang (王思捷), who acts as deputy editor-in-chief at Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA), the country's main state-owned media outlet to understand how Taiwanese media professionals assess their own media situation, and how their country is portrayed abroad. FN: US but also general western media puts the risk of a war with China at the center of its Taiwan coverage. What is your take on this and can Taiwanese media also operating in English and other languages change that?
