Beijing: China has now complained about a BBC report, a few days after Britain’s Ambassador to China Caroline Wilson was summoned to express her displeasure over a recent article. The Chinese Embassy in London posted a statement on its website on Thursday that it had written a letter to the BBC to express “strong dissatisfaction” and appealed to him to “leave favor,” Correct your mistake and give China news in an objective, fair and balanced manner. ”
Earlier, China’s foreign ministry summoned Wilson on Tuesday for his article on the Chinese microblog of the embassy. Wilson said that giving a critical report about China does not mean hatred or disrespect for the country. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Wednesday that Wilson’s article reflects his “deep ideological prejudices”.
China’s response to the BBC reflects Chinese displeasure at the BBC’s reporting on sensitive matters such as the Corona virus and the persecution of Muslim minorities in Xinjiang and Britain’s decision to live for millions of Hong Kong residents and ultimately open the way to gain British citizenship. The Chinese embassy in its letter criticized BBC Radio 4’s report titled ‘The Disinformation Dragons’ aired on Tuesday. He said the report made “baseless accusations on China” on a number of matters, including Kovid-19.
“We never instigated anyone and we have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, while other countries continue to interfere in our domestic affairs and accuse China,” the letter said. Zhao condemned Wilson’s article, saying, “Ambassador Wilson’s article, written with a confused logic, ignores all the facts, including the propaganda of the British media and giving false information about China.”
