Recently, a number of Chinese Party media outlets have been competing to publish an article signed by an independent French journalist named “Laurène Beaumond”, whose views are exactly the same as the official propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party. French media investigated and found “no such person”, and French scholars criticized the CCP for creating a fake journalist out of thin air, which is “unthinkable”.
On March 28, 2012, the French-language website of CGTN, the Communist Party’s major foreign propaganda network, published an article by “Buwang,” an “independent journalist” who described her seven years in China and what she saw and heard in Xinjiang She said that what she saw in Xinjiang “does not correspond to what the Western media says”, that “the attacks on Xinjiang in the West are staggering”, that “the accusations against China are full of absurdities” and so on. On March 31, CRI published another commentary on the “Buwang” article.
According to the Foreign Correspondents’ Club in China (FCCC), journalists in mainland China have been harassed and intimidated by the Chinese Communist Party for reporting on human rights issues such as the persecution in Xinjiang, such as the recent relocation of BBC journalists to Taiwan. The public is highly skeptical: who is this “independent French journalist” with “different views”? The French newspaper Le Monde has conducted an in-depth investigation into the matter.
According to CGTN, “Bouwang” has a double bachelor’s degree in Paris, a master’s degree in journalism, and a history of working for various news agencies. Le Monde followed the map and checked with the French Committee for Professional Journalists’ Accreditation, which is responsible for issuing press cards in France, but found no such person. Roger Beaud, who has lived in France for 10 years and is familiar with Chinese issues, pointed out that the article signed by “Buwang” is suspected to be written by a Chinese, “who writes good foreign French but reveals the Chinese mind in some small details The article, signed by “Buwang,” is suspected to be written by a Chinese author, who “writes good foreign-style French but reveals the Chinese mind in some small details.
Adrian Zenz, a renowned expert on Xinjiang and senior German researcher at the Memorial Foundation for the Victims of Communism, retweeted the tweet, agreeing with Bode’s argument, “This is a correct statement, ‘Laurène Beaumond’ is an impostor”. Antoine Bondaz, a researcher at the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique in France, found the “Beaumond” suspicious last year, tweeting: “CGTN, broadcast in France He tweeted that “CGTN, broadcast in France, has the audacity to publish articles under a pseudonym” and invited “Buwang” to talk to him.
It is no news that the official Chinese Communist Party and the Party media have a long history of exaggeration and falsification, which has been a laughing stock internationally.
On February 18, 2019, the People’s Daily published an op-ed by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jenny Shipley, entitled “We Need to Learn to Listen to China. We Need to Learn to Listen to China,” an op-ed by former New Zealand Prime Minister Jenny Shipley praising the Chinese Communist Party’s “Belt and Road” program. After the article was published, Shipley came forward to clarify that she did not write the article. Two days later, the article’s byline on the People’s Daily website was quietly changed to “This article is based on an interview with a reporter in December 2018. This incident fully exposed the fact that the CCP’s party media not only falsified statements, but even blatantly fabricated statements of foreign dignitaries, making the CCP an international laughing stock.
On November 30, 2020, CCP Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian tweeted a false photo of an Australian soldier holding a bloody dagger to the neck of an Afghan child with his head covered by a national flag. Australian Prime Minister John Morrison condemned the Chinese Communist Party, saying, “This is an absolutely outrageous and disgusting slur, and the Chinese government should be ashamed of it.” He said it was a fake photo that was seriously offensive to Australian soldiers. Morrison criticized Zhao’s shameful tweet and demanded that the Chinese Communist Party apologize and remove the photo.
Morrison urged the Chinese Communist Party to stop playing “appalling” attacks and return to the negotiating table. In a free and democratic world, dialogue is the way we deal with problems,” he said. Not by spreading this kind of disinformation.” What’s more, after Morrison’s speech, Zhao Lijian did not delete the tweet containing the false photo, but instead took it upon himself to top it.
The CCP’s evil nature of lying and falsifying has repeatedly made a spectacle of itself at home and abroad. In July 1999, the CCP unlawfully persecuted hundreds of millions of Falun Gong practitioners, and continued to fabricate outrageous lies about self-immolation, murder, and financial enrichment in an attempt to inspire hatred for Falun Gong. Through the award-winning documentary “The Truth About the Self-Immolation in Tiananmen Square”, “False Fire” is now widely known to the public, and countless Chinese have learned the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong through “The Truth About the Self-Immolation”, which readers can download and watch in “False Fire (Chinese Edition)”.
True gold is not afraid of fire, but falsehoods deceive people for a while; the Chinese Communist Party relies on lies to confuse the world, but eventually people will expose its tricks. If the world can see the ugly true face of the CCP under its painted skin, they will not be confused and can get rid of the red devil’s deception.
