Toronto, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- In response to an article published by a Canadian company a few days ago that the Chinese Embassy's response to Canada's China-related reports was "manipulating", the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Canada issued a statement on February 19 in response, pointing out that freedom of speech should not be an excuse to smear and wantonly attack others. China hopes that the relevant authorities will abide by journalistic ethics, abandon ideological bias, and stop making irresponsible remarks on China-related issues.
The embassy spokesman pointed out that everything has a cause before it has an effect. It is precisely because of Canada's repeated attacks and smears on China on many issues related to China's domestic and foreign policies that China has no choice but to respond. It is the responsibility of the Chinese Embassy in Canada to communicate with people from all walks of life in Canada and enhance mutual understanding between the people of the two countries. The spokesman said: "In the course of extensive contacts, we have found that many Canadians have goodwill to improve relations between the two countries and strengthen communication and cooperation, but do not agree with the extreme perception of China by others. ”
The embassy spokesman said that when I opened the report on China, it was no more than a few people who repeatedly quoted it, and it was difficult for those rational and objective voices on China to be seen in the newspaper. It is for their own selfish interests to "manipulate" and deceive the people, and there is a public opinion on the merits.
