"Introduce China's development achievements to the world" -- An interview with Supachai, a reporter of Thailand's Manager Daily

"This is the first time I have reported on the two sessions of the National People's Congress of China on the spot, and I feel very honored." Supachai, a reporter of the Thai "Manager" newspaper, said in an interview with our reporter a few days ago, "The organization of the conference is excellent. China has invited many journalists from different countries to show the world an open and confident image of China, which also shows that China is willing to share its development experience with the world."

After carefully listening to the report on the work of the government, Supachai said with deep feeling, "The report is very rich, reflecting not only China's previous achievements, but also the changes in people's lives, and the government's expectations for development. I feel that the positive changes in China are not only reflected in the numbers and indicators, but also reflected in the continuous improvement of the happiness of the Chinese people."

As one of the nearly 3000 Chinese and foreign journalists who interviewed the NPC and CPPCC, Supachai brought many special reports to Thai readers. China's economic development trend, China's interaction with the world, etc. became his focus. His article "After the COVID-19, open the door to see China" published during the NPC and CPPCC sessions was the top page of the website of The Manager for several days.

As a direct, open and transparent window to the people, this year's "representative channel", "committee channel" and "minister channel" of the NPC and CPPCC were conducted by means of on-site interviews, attracting wide attention from both inside and outside the venue. Supachai was very excited by the warm atmosphere on the "minister channel". "Whether you watch the two sessions of the National People's Congress of China on the screen or listen to the speeches of the representative members on the spot, you can feel the image of China's openness and confidence." Supachai said that the ministers' answers released a lot of new information, and let the world see China's determination and action in the future in scientific and technological innovation and environmental protection.

The Manager's Daily is one of the mainstream media in Thailand, with TV channels, newspapers, websites and other media platforms. Last year, The Manager sent reporters to China to report on the 20th CPC National Congress, which received high attention in Thailand.

Supachai recalled that he first came to China in 2006, and has visited many places in China since then. "Compared with more than 10 years ago, Beijing's transportation is more convenient, the air quality has greatly improved, and the city is more livable. China will achieve high-quality development, and people's life will be better and better."

Supachai has been engaged in China's political, economic and cultural reporting for more than 10 years and has published more than 1000 articles. He told reporters in fluent Chinese: "Reporting on China for many years in a row has enabled me to understand more and more truthfully the development and changes of China. I am very looking forward to introducing China's development achievements to the world through reporting on the two sessions of the National People's Congress of China."
