Hua Chunying
Since the establishment of the foreign ministry spokesperson system, there have been five female spokespersons of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. With their own unique language style, they interpret China's national policy. In the face of Chinese and foreign journalists' "tricks", "strange tricks", "dangerous moves"... They respond calmly and intelligently, so that they can become a landscape full of mystery and peaks and loops.
Li Jinhua, the first female spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China
Li Jinhua was born in Jinan, Shandong Province in September 1932 and grew up in Tianjin. Orphaned at an early age, he was raised by his widowed mother and brothers and sisters-in-law. In 1949, he was admitted to the History Department of Nankai University. He graduated in 1953.

According to People magazine, when Li Jinhua was 22 years old, he was assigned to work in the library of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the predecessor of the Information Department. From that time until the mid-1990s, in more than 40 years of diplomatic career, Li Jinhua spent almost half of his time in the Information Department, successively serving as section clerk, deputy director, counselor and deputy director.
In 1987, Li Jinhua became the seventh spokesperson and the first female spokesperson since the establishment of the spokesperson system in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Between 1987 and 1991, Li Jinhua made frequent appearances at dozens of regular press conferences of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expounding the Chinese government's foreign policy and principled position on major international issues. Li Jinhua was later appointed Chinese ambassador to New Zealand, becoming the second female ambassador of New China to a country in Oceania.
The oldest spokeswoman, Fan Huijuan
Fan Huijuan, born in Shanghai in 1935 and originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, joined the China New Democratic Youth League in 1950.
Fan Huijuan
After graduating from the Department of Foreign Affairs of Chinese University in 1960, at the age of 26, she was assigned to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and after experiencing the work of the Chinese Embassy in Syria, the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Permanent Office of China at the United Nations at Geneva, Fan Huijuan became the 11th spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the second female spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1991 as deputy director of the Department of Information.
However, Fan Huijuan was 56 years old when she served as a spokesperson, the oldest female speaker so far. Two years after serving as spokesperson, in December 1993, Fan was appointed China's fifth ambassador to Ireland.
The youngest speaker, Zhang Qiyue, never forgot the 2001 Sino-US plane collision incident
Zhang Qiyue was born in Beijing in October 1959 to the former ambassador to Belgium and Japan, Mr. Zhang Shu. In the late spring of 1973, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the approval of Mao Zedong, decided to send four middle and primary school students to the United States to study English, and Zhang Qiyue was one of them, at the age of 14. In 1977, Zhang Qiyue returned to China after three years of study in the United States.

Zhang Qiyue's diplomatic career began in 1982. He was appointed Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1998, just after his 39th birthday, and was "the youngest Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China". On January 26, 1999, when Zhang Qiyue presided over the foreign ministry's press conference for the first time, the media around the world were amazed by her youth and excellence.
In her nearly 6 years as a speaker, a reporter asked her which press conference was the most memorable. Zhang Qiyue calmly replied: "There are many diplomatic events experienced in the past 6 years, and it is difficult to say which one is the most memorable. I was more impressed by the 2001 Sino-US plane collision, because for the first time we used multimedia means to explain China's position at a regular press conference. Taking out video tapes and slides of damage to the plane and showing them to Chinese and foreign journalists was very convincing. ”
In December 2002, in the annual influential "Chinese Women" Era Figures selection activity sponsored by China Women's Magazine, Zhang Qiyue was elected with a high number of votes, winning wide recognition and respect from the society.
Speaking of Zhang Qiyue, the impression of foreign media on her is that of a "diplomatic celebrity" and a role model for Chinese professional women. Some foreign media articles said that Zhang Qiyue's speech was dignified, calm, simple, kind, rich in female affinity, representing a sense of oriental beauty; she reacted quickly, calmly and calmly, and her answers were always straightforward and concise.
In the eyes of some foreign journalists, she is not only the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, but also a prominent representative of Chinese women, known as the "Beauty of Beijing".
The first post-60s spokeswoman - Jiang Yu
Jiang Yu, the fourth spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was born in Beijing in 1964. In 1986, he graduated from the Diplomatic Academy, known as the "Cradle of Diplomats". After graduation, in 1987, Jiang Yu was assigned to the Beijing Diplomatic Service Center, and this year the first female spokesperson on the Chinese diplomatic scene appeared, Li Jinhua.
Jiang Yu
In 2006, Ms. Jiang was appointed 23rd spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after nearly two decades of professional diplomacy and long-term media dealings. This is true not only when working in the Information Division, but also in places such as the Chinese Mission to the United Nations in New York and the Office of the Commissioner in Hong Kong.
On June 13, 2006, the 42-year-old Jiang Yu made her debut as the new foreign ministry's spokeswoman. The spokeswoman, who always maintains an elegant smile when confronted with reporters' questions, gives a fresh feeling.
When a reporter from Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao talked about Jiang Yu, he thought that she was born in the military and had real talent and practical learning. She is usually very low-key, modest, seemingly weak, she is actually very character, sometimes she will stand up for the interests of journalists, and dare to express her views when it is critical.
The most unpleasant female spokesperson - Hua Chunying
Hua Chunying should be the most familiar female spokesperson for the majority of netizens, and is affectionately known as "Sister Hua".
Hua Chunying, born in 1970 in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, graduated from Nanjing University. In August 2012, he succeeded Jiang Yu as Deputy Director General of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China. In November of the same year, he became the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On January 1, 2020, she was named "Top Ten Female Figures of 2019".
Sister Hua looks soft and weak, but she is called "the most unpleasant female spokesperson" by netizens.
When In 2019, China International Television broadcast two English-language documentaries on the theme of counter-terrorism in Xinjiang, which received widespread attention at home and abroad, the Mainstream Western media, which has always paid attention to Xinjiang-related news, selectively lost their voice and collectively silenced.
At the press conference, Hua Chunying carried out a series of soul torture questions about their behavior of "pretending to be deaf and dumb": "You are also very concerned about Xinjiang-related issues, and when some liars with ulterior motives lie about Xinjiang-related issues, you flock to them, but when the facts and truth of Xinjiang are revealed to us, you avoid being afraid. ”
"What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Are you really not willing to calm down and do some serious reflection? ”
A series of questions that hit the soul sharply contrasted the two strange and abnormal behaviors of the Western mainstream media, making Chinese netizens shout and make some Western media feel like needles.
Such a sharp and painful style has been fully displayed in the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying, which is also the reason why the majority of netizens love her very much.
Behind the diplomatic corps is a mighty China
In fact, the issue of national diplomacy is, in the final analysis, a question of a country's strength.
Weak countries have no diplomacy, this is an indisputable truth.
Today, China's national strength has been gradually enhanced, and on diplomatic issues, in the face of provocations by certain countries, it has always been loudly and resolutely "intimidated" with reason and evidence. China's strength makes the voice of the Foreign Ministry spokesperson more powerful!
