Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday extended welcome to people from all countries to step out of the information cocoon, take off biased glasses and see by themselves a more vivid and real China by themselves.

"Discovering and embracing China is becoming a trend," Wang said when taking a question from China Daily on a survey showing Southeast Asian people's rising favorability toward China.

Either by traveling in China or interacting with Chinese on social network platforms, Wang said that people have seen a China that is safe, open and modern, and got to know the friendly, open-minded and witty Chinese people.

"The people have come to their conclusion and it is like the sunshine that dispels the mist of prejudice," Wang said, noting that heart-to-heart communication has the power to break down all barriers.
