In response to an American scholar's article exposing the BBC's misinterpretation of its view on "debt trap diplomacy", Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 7th that the so-called "debt trap" hyped by individual western media is false and it is true to provoke China's relations with relevant countries. The BBC is called a biased broadcasting company by Chinese netizens. I hope the BBC can take practical action to remove this hat as soon as possible. Photographed by Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian and Xue Wei A reporter asked a question. It is reported that recently, Deborah Brautigam, an American scholar, published the article "BBC misinterprets my view on" debt trap diplomacy ", exposing that the BBC misinterprets its original intention through malicious editing. What is China's comment? "I have taken note of relevant reports." Zhao Lijian said that the American scholar pointed out that she was interviewed by the BBC on the topic of the so-called "China debt trap". By citing a large number of evidence refuting the "debt trap" in Montenegro, Kenya, Zambia and other countries, she clearly pointed out that the so-called "China debt trap" advocated by individual media is groundless, It's totally alarmist. However, the scholar found that the BBC deliberately edited and erased almost all the evidence she listed in the final broadcast, resulting in the false impression that she supported the so-called "China's debt trap theory". It was a malicious misinterpretation of her original intention, which made her very angry. Zhao Lijian said that China has repeatedly expressed its position on the so-called "debt trap". In the face of facts, any smear and attack are futile and will only expose the bad intentions of the smear and attacker. The so-called "debt trap" hyped by some western media is false, and it is true to provoke China's relations with relevant countries. On this issue, anyone who holds a fair attitude will come to an objective conclusion. The BBC is called a biased broadcasting company by Chinese netizens and is famous for concocting false information related to China. I hope the BBC can take off this hat as soon as possible with practical action. (reporter Xing Zhen, Huang Yuqin) (outlook new era)
