Media urged to be objective
Print Edition
THE Xisha Islands are Chinese territory, thus deployment of any kind by China is justified and beyond reproach, a foreign ministry spokeswoman said yesterday.
Hua Chunying’s comments follow a CNN report that China had deployed fighter jets to Yongxing, largest of the island group in the South China Sea.
China has indisputable sovereignty over the islands, Hua said. “I would advise the media to not selectively exaggerate or ignore issues, as this will not help your audience understand the bigger picture.”
She asked foreign media to note other countries’ deployment of radar and advanced weapons on China’s islands and ensure objective, fair and calm reports.
