Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang's Regular Press Conference on July 22, 2019 [7]
问 据报道，外交部发言人华春莹接任新闻司司长，据说这是女性首次担任新闻司司长，对吗？外交部对此如何评论？
Follow-up MFA Spokesperson Hua Chunying has been appointed as Director-General of the Information Department, allegedly the first-ever female DG of the Information Department. Is that true? Does the Foreign Ministry have any comment on that?
答我们一贯提倡男女平等。无论男士还是女士，都能担任新闻发言人，也都能担任新闻司司长。
A We champion gender equality. Both males and females can be MFA spokespersons and director generals of the Information Department.
至于是不是首次由女性担任新闻司司长，其实很早以前有过。
As to whether this is the first time that a female took the post of Director-General of the Information Department, I believe there was another one long before.
