Every June in the United States we are subjected to a barrage of anti-China propaganda from major media outlets and prominent political pundits (on top of the regularly-scheduled China bashing).
I watched the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference this morning. Two news agencies (Japanese NHK and French AFP) asked questions related to “Tienanmen Square Incident”. I thought the response from the FM on the questions was pretty good. Then I looked at the MFA website, and the questions had been omitted from the press conference transcript. I’m honestly kind of confused why China omitted the questions from the record. I’ve never noticed them do this before.
English audio comes out of the right speaker. Chinese audio comes out of the left speaker.
At 21m10s, NHK asks China why they have not compensated families of the victims of “Tienanmen Square Incident”. The FM responds by saying that the people of China have chosen the path of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
At 23m40s, AFP asks China to respond to Marco Rubio’s recent social media posts about “Tienanmen Square Incident”. The FM says that Marco Rubio is distorting facts for a political attack against China.
In the transcript below, these parts of the conference have been omitted. I’m not sure why.
