Chinese observers slammed the US as being hypocritical and having double standards in its flaunting advocacy of press freedom, as Chinese journalists stationed in the US suffered from political oppression while Western media continued to hype China’s so-called media manipulation.
Hua Chunying, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on Wednesday released more details of Chinese journalists being badly treated in the US and requested the US to correct the mistake as soon as possible and give Chinese journalists fair and just treatment.
Hua revealed that a journalist of China’s Xinhua News Agency who was forced to return to China on May 1 was interrogated in an unusual way by US border agents, and his laptop and other electronic devices were also checked.

China Labels U.S. Foreign Policy on Xinjiang ’Weasel Diplomacy’
May 12, 2021 (EIRNS) -China very appropriately has labeled as “weasel policy” U.S. policy toward Xinjiang. Today at the United Nations, the permanent missions of the U.S., Great Britain, Germany and an array of NGOs are holding an event on Xinjiang and “the repression of Uighur Muslims.” The spokesman for China’s UN Mission issued a hard-hitting statement in response to this insult, while the semi-official Global Times titled its op-ed on the subject: “U.S. ‘Weasel Diplomacy’ Will Not Function in Xinjiang.” During the May 10 Foreign Ministry briefing, spokeswoman Hua Chunying similarly asserted that U.S. behavior with respect to Xinjiang’s Uighur population “is just like the weasel paying respect to the hen without the best of intentions.”
