[New Tang Dynasty Beijing time July 26, 2021]Under the shadow of the Chinese Communist pneumonia (Covid-19) epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan were finally held after a year’s postponement. However, since the start of the competition, the CCP’s ambassadors abroad have been keeping a close eye on China-related content in foreign media reports and protesting frequently. After the US National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) displayed an incomplete map of China that made the CCP’s ambassador to the United States angry, a photo of a Chinese female weightlifter published by Reuters made the CCP’s ambassador to Sri Lanka jump in protest.
When Reuters reported on July 24 that the Chinese women’s weightlifter Hou Zhihui won the 49 kg competition, it was accompanied by a photo of her snatching a barbell. As a result, this photo touched the sensitivity of the Chinese Communist Party diplomats full of political taboos. nerve.
On the 24th, the official Twitter of the Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka reposted the photo of this report from Reuters and posted a protest at the same time. The post cursed that Reuters selected pictures of Chinese athletes with ugly expressions among the many photos of the competition, “it only shows how ugly they are”, and criticized Reuters for “not putting politics and ideology above sports, but also calling themselves Fair media”, and then added another sentence-“Shameless” (Shameless).
Subsequently, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media “Global Times” also followed up, claiming in related reports that “it is not the first time that the Western media has been careful about photos.”
On the same day, when CNN reported that Chinese female shooter Yang Qian won the gold medal, it was titled “China’s Gold Medal…and More Covid-19 Cases”. In this report, in addition to listing Yang Qian’s competition results, it also mentioned that there have been multiple incidents of Olympic-related personnel who were diagnosed with Covid-19 on the 24th. As a result, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media was greatly angry and cursed. His heart can be condemned”.
The Global Times published a commentary that day, questioning CNN “Is it unintentional? Or deliberately?” and cursed “It’s disgusting again” and “The reporting method is too low-level.” After that, CNN was actually subdued and changed the headline of the report.
In addition, the Consulate General of the Chinese Communist Party in New York issued a statement on its official website on the 24th, condemning NBC for showing an incomplete map of China in a report on the Tokyo Olympics, calling this practice a “political trick.” “The impact is very bad,” and asked NBC to “recognize the serious nature of this problem and take measures to correct the error.”
The protest statement did not specify where the controversial map was “incomplete.” It turned out that the map used bright lines to outline the “rooster” appearance of the map of mainland China, and then placed a red sphere with five stars at the location of Taiwan and the South China Sea below.
Due to the impact of the CCP’s pneumonia epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics, originally scheduled for 2020, were forced to be postponed for one year before they were held, and there were no spectators at the games, creating an unprecedented precedent in the history of the Olympics. Since the start of the Tokyo Olympics, athletes have been continuously detected as infected with the CCP virus, which has greatly shocked the mood of everyone participating in this event. Therefore, some Chinese netizens have analyzed that perhaps media reporters from various countries are still upset about the CCP’s concealing the domestic CCP pneumonia epidemic and allowing the virus to spread globally. Therefore, when reporting on China, they have repeatedly touched the CCP’s politics intentionally or unintentionally. Sensitive nerves.
