The Malay-language edition of "The Classic Quotes by Xi Jinping", a multilingual program produced by China Media Group (CMG), began airing on Malaysian mainstream media on Tuesday, drawing public interest and highlighting bilateral cultural exchange amid Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the country.
The program features classical Chinese texts and sayings quoted by Xi in his speeches, writings, and remarks, shedding light on his governance philosophy, cultural outlook, and historical perspective.
Through themes such as building a shared future for mankind, cultural inheritance, biodiversity protection, and mutual learning among civilizations, the series presents China's traditional values and modern vision.
Malaysia's national broadcaster, Radio Televisyen Malaysia, along with news agency Bernama and Malaysia-China Insight, have reported on the broadcast. A CMG journalist also appeared in a live interview on local television to introduce the series and explore the cultural depth of Xi's references.
Leading newspapers "Sin Chew Daily", "The Star", and "Sinar Harian" covered the program's debut, noting its inclusion of quotes such as "All things that grow live in harmony and benefit from the nourishment of Nature", which underscores the idea that nature is the cradle of all life, providing the essential conditions for humanity to survive and flourish.
The coverage emphasized China's promotion of equal dialogue among civilizations and its commitment to shared global development.
The program has been well received by viewers and commentators in Malaysia, who see it as a window into China's approach to governance and a gateway to better understanding the richness of Chinese civilization.
The launch coincides with President Xi's state visit to Malaysia, the second leg of his current three-nation Southeast Asia tour.
Xi, also General Secretary of Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, arrived in Kuala Lumpur Tuesday at the invitation of Malaysia's King Sultan Ibrahim.
The five-day trip began with a two-day state visit to Vietnam and will conclude in Cambodia.
