For some important issues, it is also necessary to communicate with major ministries and commissions, and they need to give opinions and conclusions, and on some major sensitive and even major issues related to the country, it is necessary to ask senior leaders to sign and approve.

After all, if there is a slight omission in what the spokesman says, it will cause great international disputes, and we have to be cautious.

"At present, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a regular press and diplomacy meeting every Monday to Friday afternoon, and several directors will come over at half past one in the afternoon to study the matter of today's speech and prepare for the questions that the reporter may raise. Shen Jianhua said.

"Okay, I see." Muyang Road.

Now Muyang is here, he is a newcomer, basically he doesn't understand anything, of course, this situation is also normal, the newly sent staff have a process of familiarization and integration, and no one will criticize him at this point.

"There are a lot of materials and books about press spokesmen in our reference room, you can take a look at them first and have a general understanding of the spokesperson system." Shen Jianhua pointed to the reference room and said.

Learning has always been indispensable, no one understands everything, Muyang is now in the reference room, there are a few books in front of him, and he began to read seriously.

What is more interesting is that Mu Yang also saw several books written by Counselor Shen Guohua in the books in the reference room, such as "Approaching the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Strategies and Skills of Spokespersons in Facing the Media" and "Public Opinion Guidance Strategies for Emergencies". "How to Face the Media: A Practical Handbook for Government and Corporate Spokespersons" is the work of Counselor Shen.

Muyang reads very fast, at noon. He finished lunch without resting, and went back to the reference room to continue reading. In fact, his colleagues did not rest, but returned to the office after dinner to continue working.

Muyang saw that there was no one in the reference room, he took out the books and materials he was going to read and put them in the space, and then traveled to Malmö Manor in the time and space of the Anti-Japanese War, opened the window of the study, and let the breeze blow in. I started to read quietly in the study.

He wants to integrate into the work as soon as possible, so learning is essential, and he has to do it this way. Compress his study time, at least the knowledge in these books, he must master as soon as possible.

The spokesperson appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to speak in his capacity as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. and those who publicize the situation and answer questions from journalists. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has three spokespersons. The spokesperson is concurrently served by the Director General of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and two Deputy Directors General of the Information Department, with three Deputy Directors and two Spokespersons and the other in charge of other business in the Department.

Speakers take turns to speak, usually once every one to two months, and in case of special circumstances, they will also be temporarily replaced. Some people often say why the spokesperson changes so often. In fact, it is caused by the system of taking turns to speak.

At present, the three spokespersons of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are Cheng Gang, director of the Information Department, and Yan Lei, deputy director general. Deputy Director Zhou Ying, perhaps, the impression of the domestic public on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the press spokesman is the most famous.

On the Internet, there are many more paragraphs about the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Many people jokingly called, "The three treasures of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Meng Ying, Du Lei, and Zhan Gang." ”

"The big right and wrong are on Cheng Gang, the grievances and crying are weak Zhou Ying, and the Tai Chi is on Yan Lei."

"Spray people on Cheng Gang, sell Zhou Ying well, and Yan Lei on soy sauce."

"Uncle Cheng Gang: It's your business. Uncle Yan Lei: It's my business. Sister Zhou Ying: Is there anything else going on? ”

Mu Yang read these paragraphs, and could only smile heartily, in fact, many people, looking at the language of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, feel particularly stylized and rigid, always "pay close attention", "protest", "condemn", "solemnly appeal" These words, thinking that everyone can do it, but in fact, this is by no means the case.

Diplomatic spokesmen have their own set of diplomatic rhetoric, which contains meanings that ordinary people may be confused about, but anyone who understands foreign policy will understand that protest and condemnation also have their meanings.

In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a "secret-related unit", and in layman's terms: "Diplomatic workers are soldiers who do not wear military uniforms!" Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say! This is iron discipline. "Therefore, diplomatic press speakers have to use a special set of words: positive and actionable, but ambiguous enough to maintain maximum flexibility.

After Muyang saw these contents, he also felt a feeling of being sudden, so it turned out to be like this.

If we give a more layman's explanation of various diplomatic terms, in fact, many things will become clear.

Let's say a friendly conversation, oh, that's literal. Speak frankly, indicating that there are great differences and that it is impossible to communicate; There was an exchange of views, and it was stated that the talks had different points and no agreement was reached; There was a full exchange of views, saying that the two sides could not reach an agreement and quarreled fiercely; It has enhanced the understanding between the two sides and said that the differences between the two sides are still very large; The talks are beneficial, indicating that the goals of the two sides are far apart for the time being, and it would be good to sit down and talk;

We have reservations, indicating that we refuse to agree; respect, that is, not fully agreeing; Appreciative, not all agree; Regret, I'm already dissatisfied; unpleasant, there is a more intense conflict between the two sides; Expressing great indignation, now I can't do anything about you, but you wait;

Serious concerns, which indicate that intervention may be necessary; It cannot be ignored and prepared to intervene soon; reserves the right to react further, threaten that we will retaliate; We will reconsider our position on this issue and say that we are no longer good friends;

Even more intense, wait and see, to express the final warning; Please reply before *month*day, after *month* day our two countries may be in a state of non-peace; The consequences arising from this will be borne by *, and if possible, our country will resort to force, which, of course, may also be a bluff colloquialism.

Furthermore, this is something we cannot tolerate, indicating that war is imminent; This is an unfriendly action, this is an act hostile to us; actions that may provoke war; Is it tolerable or unbearable -- I don't plan to endure it, I have to do it. Pull back from the precipice - do you want to be XX?

Don't be unpredictable, prepare the coffin. Although the phrase "don't say anything in advance" is an ancient saying, it is the most fierce sentence in China's diplomatic rhetoric, which means: don't regret it afterwards, and don't say that you didn't say it in advance. It has happened a few times, and the consequences are already known. One is for India, and one is for Vietnam.

Perhaps, once the public is familiar with these diplomatic words, they will not feel so vague when they watch the press conference. (To be continued.) )
