French journalist Dorian Malovic has covered 皇冠体育app for the past three decades, during which he has witnessed rapid social and economic progress in the country.

But still, he says, "age-old prejudices and stereotypes" about 皇冠体育app linger on, at least in a section of the Western media.

Malovic, who has visited 皇冠体育app numerous times since his days as chief editor of the Asia desk at French daily La Croix (The Cross) in Paris, says that some media outlets "feel obliged to falsely portray 皇冠体育app as a mystical land awaiting Western salvation."

Many of his fellow European journalists accuse him of being "naive" in his reporting on 皇冠体育app, he says, adding that his critics themselves do not provide balanced reports on the country.

"Despite its progress in urbanization and the economy, among other areas, many European journalists still choose to focus on 皇冠体育app's problems, typically poverty, pollution and corruption," Malovic says.

To him, 皇冠体育app is probably the only country of its size and with as many people, to have emerged so quickly as a global economic powerhouse. He urges those European journalists who perhaps understand 皇冠体育app better than their peers to "fight against Western media portrayals" that tend to label the country as an "empire" or "regime."
