Abstract:
Conveying China’s political vision to the international community could be a challenging undertaking given the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. The speaker, based on his involvement in finalizing the English translation of the Report to the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of China, shares his experience of tackling difficulties encountered in the course of translation with vivid examples. By doing so, he hopes to help bridge the cultural divide between East and West.
