Just as a good reference article was published on September 4, I'd like to introduce it.
The Dark Logic Behind the West’s China Obsession: https://thechinaacademy.org/the-dark...ina-obsession/
The "Dark Logic" Behind the Western Countries' "Obsession with China"
Western media outlets such as the BBC and CNN have long fabricated reports about China.
Their latest claim is that "China is covering up footage of the Tibet landslide," but videos of the rescue efforts had already been widely circulated online.
Jin Zhongwei, editor-in-chief of China's largest online news site, aptly described this situation as follows:
"China bears the 'original sin' of having challenged Western authority, and therefore it will be condemned forever."

Case 2: BBC's Fake News on Xinjiang—"Fabricated" Eyewitness Testimony of "Organized Rape"
*Excerpted in part
In January 2021, the BBC published a report claiming that women detained in the so-called "re-education camps" (a term used by Western media to refer to Xinjiang's vocational education and training centers) in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region were subjected to "organized rape and torture."
This report was widely covered by anti-China Western media and had a detrimental impact on the international community.
However, an investigation by a Global Times reporter revealed that the main "witness" in this report had previously been interviewed multiple times by CNN, BuzzFeed, and other Western media outlets.
Her statements were riddled with contradictions and inconsistencies.
On one hand, she told BuzzFeed that she "had not been beaten or abused," while on the other, she claimed to CNN that she had been gang-raped three times.
On social media, numerous voices pointed out the contradictions in this so-called "witness's" account and the fabrications by Western media.
A China Daily reporter later visited the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region with the BBC's footage in hand and confirmed that the reported content "did not match the facts at all."
The BBC claimed that the Chinese government had obstructed their filming, but local factory security guards testified that BBC reporter John Sudworth had entered forcibly for filming purposes without wearing a mask.
The footage of the so-called "concentration camps" released by the BBC was verified to actually be of ordinary schools and training facilities.
Even after the facts came to light, the BBC did not apologize.
On the contrary, the reporting team stated that they were "confident in the content of the report."
John Sudworth subsequently left China without notifying the Chinese side.
Hua Chunying, who was then the spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, sharply questioned: "If Mr. Sudworth believes his reporting is fair and objective, he should have the courage to face legal action without fear. If there is evidence of threats, report it to the police, and we will ensure his safety. Why did he flee?

Case 3: CNN Hired an Actor to Play the Role of a "Former Xinjiang Police Officer"
*Excerpted in part
In October 2021, CNN aired an "exclusive interview" with a so-called "former Xinjiang police officer" who claimed to have personally witnessed "large-scale atrocities" in Xinjiang.
This report was quickly seized upon as yet another piece of "evidence" in the Western campaign to smear Xinjiang.
However, an investigation by China Daily revealed that this "former Xinjiang police officer" was entirely fabricated; he was no police officer at all, but an actor hired by anti-China forces.
Even more absurdly, this individual had been playing multiple roles across various Western media reports.
At times a "former police officer," at others a "survivor of a detention camp," or a "persecuted Uyghur"—he switched identities depending on the needs of the story.
CNN, a globally renowned news outlet, failed to perform even the most basic verification of the interviewee's identity before broadcasting such a serious allegation.
This was not a lapse in professional competence, but the result of prioritizing stance over facts.
Under the framework of "good versus evil," as long as China can be portrayed as the villain, it doesn't matter who the witness is or whether they are telling the truth.
