These speeches were mostly delivered in public forums, with many being impromptu, fully showcasing the passion and expertise of Zhao Qizheng as a new generation of government spokesperson, as well as his unique candid and open attitude. In this book, both prominent political figures, such as former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, and leaders of foreign media and publishing groups, such as the CEO of Time Warner and the CEO of Hachette Livre, have conducted interviews with Zhao Qizheng. Many of the materials are being fully disclosed for the first time.
