China News Service, Beijing, September 10 (Huang Yuqin) In response to US Secretary of State Pompeo’s accusation that Chinese media refused to publish articles signed by the US ambassador to China, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs China Foreign Zhao Lijian presented the details of the relevant events in detail at a regular press conference on the 10th. He also claimed that the US measure was carefully crafted and deliberately touched porcelain to find fault. “The United States hopes to publish an article is false, and it is true that the Chinese side is planted in a situation.”
A journalist asked questions. US Secretary of State Pompeo tweeted on the 10th that the Communist Party of China complained that the United States lacked justice and reciprocity with China, but that the Chinese ambassador was free to publish articles in any US medium, while that the Communist Party of China refused to publish in the People’s Daily. Comment posted by Ambassador Branstad. At this time, the “People’s Daily” spokesperson vigorously protested Pompeo’s misstatements. How does the Chinese Foreign Ministry comment on this?
First of all, it should be clarified that the Chinese ambassador to the United States has always promised to promote friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States and the two peoples, never creating and spreading rumors against the United States, never discrediting attacks on the United States. American system and never interfering in America. Zhao Lijian replied, “Ambassador Cui Tiankai’s articles or interviews in the US media are voluntary and active actions of the US media, and are the result of communication between the two sides in a spirit of equality and mutual respect.”
Regarding Pompeo’s fallacy, Zhao Lijian said that the People’s Daily spokesperson has already responded by presenting the truth in detail, and the relevant latitude and longitude are very clear. On August 26, the United States Embassy in China took the initiative to contact the newspaper, requesting the publication of an article signed by Ambassador Branstad before September 4, emphasizing that the article should be published in its entirety without modifications, and requested on August 27. Day, that is, get a response the next day. The content of this article is full of loopholes, is seriously inconsistent with the facts, and is full of vicious attacks and smears against China. “The strange thing is that on August 27, just as the newspaper was studying this article, the Undersecretary for Asia-Pacific Affairs of the US State Department, Stanwell, made arrangements with the Chinese Embassy in Washington to express the alleged concerns. “
“Excuse me, friends of the foreign media here, if the Chinese government, like the United States, provides you with an article today that seriously distorts the facts and attacks your country, and asks you to respond tomorrow and promise not to. make any changes and post it in full, you guys Can you do it? “Zhao Lijian said.
In addition, he pointed out that the US measure obviously has nothing to do with freedom of the press. American hopes of publishing articles are false, and it is true that the Chinese side is framed.
Zhao Lijian said that, in fact, according to the People’s Daily spokesperson, the newspaper had published articles signed by former US ambassadors to China such as Bocas and Huntsman, and also actively supported the publication of two articles from the Global Times newspaper. An article signed by Ambassador Branstad. Back when Ambassador Branstad was governor, the People’s Daily published his article. On the one hand, individual American politicians used the People’s Daily and other Chinese media such as the Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “propaganda machines” to brutally suppress them, and on the other hand, they demanded that the “propaganda machines” in their eyes do. false propaganda for the United States and maliciously attack the Chinese government. The relevant practices are logically confusing and even more dominant and unreasonable.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that, like the American media and any other medium, the People’s Daily has the full right to decide whether and when to publish a contribution, and has full right to make the necessary revisions and edits to the presentation, and also You have the full right to reject the publication. Incorrect and prejudicial articles of fact. This is the standard for the news industry and also conforms to international practice. We call on the United States to stop spreading rumors and lies, stop intimidating practices, and take concrete steps to respect freedom of the press. (Finish)
