我觉得BBC的目的似乎就是要煽动抵制奥运。
抗议信已经发了：
Dear Editor:
I am a loyal reader of your news website. As a Chinese, I appreciate your prompt news and trust your impartiality. Indeed, you demonstrated the effects of the recent riot in Lhasa objectively. You did much better than CNN and CCTV, a media owned by the Chinese government.
However, I am very regretful to see that your reports are gradually losing the precious justness in these days. It seems that you are urging a wide boycott of the Beijing Olympic Game.
Today (April 06, Australian Time), in your Asia-pacific news web-page, half of the reports, 13 in total, are about China. All of them are attacking thiscountry. Among them, six reports are for the dissident and spy. Another six reports are about Tibet. The other analyzes the “Dark Past” of the Olympic Games. In particular, you imply a connection between the Beijing Olympic Game and the Berlin Olympic Game in 1936.
I can see that Tibet is a hot topic so that every news organization shows a strong interest in it. However, in Assam state, India, every day there are riots on larger scales and every week there are people dying of the conflicts between the Indian government and the separatists. Why don't you pay the same attention on the Assam independence? Do you just what to promote the influence of the Tibetan government in exile so that it can produce more chaos and violence? Moreover, in your "Q&A: China and Tibet"(
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7299221.stm), your view is biased. It reads that "According to reports, security forces arrested some of the marchers, and the following day more monks marched through the streets to appeal for their colleagues to be freed." However, the reality is, arsonists had already selected the shops to burn several days before. And the monks were aggressive. They attacked the policemen first using bars and hot water. There are photos and witnesses whereas you simply ignore them. Furthermore, when you analyze the underlying issues, you use three paragraphs to introduce the view of the Tibetan government in exile while only one sentence for the Chinese points. I suggest you to read the Wikipedia (English version) to obtain some ideas on the reality.
Your reports on the dissident (
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7329839.stm) and the spy (
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7331060.stm) are also full of prejudice. Yes, I agree with you that Hu Jia did make contributions to the environment protection and the anti-AIDS movement in China. However, in these years, he began to accept funds from the US. What would you think if an activist in the UK attack the UK government, support the independence of Northern Ireland and Scotland, and is receiving salary from the Chinese government meanwhile? Moreover, I am left wondering why you didn't report the possible human rights abuse when the US government arrested the so called Chinese "spies". Could you tell me if this means we Chinese can enjoy human rights only if we oppose the government?
Last, I am very angry with you for the comparison between the Beijing Olympic Game and the Berlin Olympic Game (
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7330949.stm). Don't you think you offer an insult to China? Please remember that Tibet IS a part of China. This fact had been admitted by the US and UK even before the Communist Part took over China. Furthermore, China did NOT invade any other country while Hitler launched the Second World War. If you really want to find an analogue of Hitler's Olympic game, maybe the London Olympic Game in 2012 is a better choice. You see, in history, the UK invaded and occupied so many countries. Until now your armies are still stationed in Iraq.
In fact, I am not a supporter of the Beijing Olympic Game. I think it costs too much money of the Chinese taxpayers. But I cannot tolerate the smear and libel against China. Suppose China attacks the UK in this way (Britain has moral defects, i.e. the Iraq war), what will you Britons think? More importantly, humiliating China can NOT prevent its growing up but fuel the anger against the West. If you really want to protect the human rights in China, please make fair reports.
My above comments are harsh. However, I just don't hope BBC becomes another CNN or CCTV. Chinese people expect a reliable and unbiased news organization. I hope BBC could be the one we can trust.
Sincerely
A Chinese reader
