According to the official Chinese media Global Times, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying hosted a regular press conference at the Foreign Ministry on March 30. A foreign media reporter asked: Chinese people’s anger against H&M seems to have subsided recently, does this mean that the Chinese government is pulling back on this issue?
Hua Chunying said: “You think there are netizens online expressing their anger at a certain thing, including this Xinjiang cotton thing expressing anger at the H&M thing, you think the Chinese government is asking for it. China has 1.4 billion people, the 1.4 billion people each have their own head, each have their own ideas, everyone also has the right to express their thoughts and feelings online, you can not see some online speech you do not like, you do not want to hear the speech, you think that the Chinese government is asking for support. I think this is a serious misunderstanding and prejudice against China, then I think about the relationship between H & M and Xinjiang cotton or this issue, these days the feelings of the Chinese people, the position of the Chinese people’s ideas are also very clear, I do not want to repeat, we also note that a number of related companies have made a clarification, including the BCI Shanghai office they also issued a statement, so I think the rights and wrongs of this matter are very clear.”
Hua Chunying answered a reporter’s question in a paragraph was wildly sprayed by netizens: “…… China has 1.4 billion people, each of these 1.4 billion people has their own head, each has their own ideas, each also has the right to express their thoughts and feelings online, … …”
Some netizens said, “There is a risk of lying, speaking with caution. If each of the 1.4 billion people in China spit a mouthful of spittle, Hua Chunying is afraid that she has been drowned several times. “
