On August 14, the BBC Chinese
website published an on-spot report entitled The Chinese Cult that
Kills “Demons.” The article tacitly agrees that “the
murder in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province, China” is related to the
“Church of Almighty God,” but also adds a tragedy of the family
of a “victim,” Mr. Wang, implying that the Church of
Almighty God is a cult that stops at no evil. This is undoubtedly the
best assistance and support to the CCP government’s deed of
cracking down on the underground churches.
As we all know, since April the
CCP has launched a political campaign of cracking down on the “cults”
in Mainland China. They not only unilaterally fix a list of twenty
“cults,” but also high-handedly suppress the religious people in
Xinjiang and other places. And they even demolish the churches and
crosses in places such as Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, arrest the
ministers, seal off and expel the house churches, hunt and persecute
the Christians….
The BBC’s guideline says,
“Trust is the foundation of the BBC: we are independent, impartial
and honest.” In over 90 years, as the biggest public news
organization in Britain which is subsidized by the government but
operates independently, the BBC took part in reporting almost every
important news event of Britain. For a long time, the BBC has been
considered one of the most respected media in the world. However,
what’s puzzling is that after Chinese netizens raise many strong
doubts about “the case in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province,” the BBC
actually chooses to issue such an incorrect report at the crucial
moment when the world pays high attention to the religious freedom of
China. It’s really astonishing and pitiful! Why is the reporting
style of a world-class media so similar to the contemptible CCTV? Why
does the BBC with the noble identity of the “voice of Britain”
sing the same tune with the CCP?
The British government has been
concerned about the human rights situation of China. However, to our
disappointment, the BBC China editor Ms. Carrie simply stood on the
CCP’s side in this report. Although it’s called “on-spot
report,” it’s not objective or neutral and the content is partial
and impetuous. She not only didn’t interview the Church of Almighty
God but also hastily reached a conclusion and determined the nature
of it. This way of doing makes people astonished at the BBC’s level
of news reporting! We can’t help doubting: On the eve of the public
trial of “the case in Zhaoyuan, Shandong Province,” what happened
to the BBC, which asserts to “observe a strict neutrality and not
to be disturbed by commerce”? How come it published such a report?
To our doubt, why does the BBC, always having an insight to the
affairs of the world and keeping the whole world in view, willingly
act as the vanguard of rumoring and ballyhooing for the CCP? Why
can’t it see clearly all at once what kind of party the CCP is? Why
does it fail to see clearly all at once that the CCP is an expert at
fabricating false news? Additionally, why can’t it see clearly the
serious consequence of being hostile to the world, the mankind, and
the history due to keeping company with the CCP?
All people of insight in the
world see that the CCP is the real evil party and cult. Think back to
the over sixty years since the CCP was
in power in modern history. Black clouds weigh the country heavily
with slaughter and fights everywhere, and bloody atrocities prevail
in each place, where wails can be heard and people live in misery. It
is these heads of devils weaving the lie of “communism” that pour
in the generations of Chinese people the potions of “atheism” and
“loving the party and the country” and publicly put the evil
party in the place of God. Such a group of devils, which go against
Heaven and run counter to right principles, can only bring the
Chinese people to hell and to everlasting perdition! China has been
claiming that it allows the “freedom of belief.” However, the
Church of Almighty God has always been the object the CCP, the evil
party, attacks and condemns, and thousands of people are arrested,
detained, and cruelly tortured and even to
disability or death. In face of these bloody facts, why does
the sophisticated BBC play a role that is “silly and naive”? Why
does it become selectively “blind” all at once? Is there a
benefit chain hidden behind it? What kind of trade is concealed?
These are the factors people can’t avoid thinking of.
As a Christian of the Church of
Almighty God, I pay attention to the BBC and respect the BBC. So I
hope that such an impartial media can be a model of resisting the
vicious CCP and be a relatively impartial and true voice in the
world. However, what the great majority of netizens worry about is
that the public confidence level of the BBC has been declining over
the decades. In 2012, due to the exposure of the sexual abuse scandal
of its previous ace host and its incorrect coverage of a Parliament
member’s child abuse case, the BBC’s CEO and news chief resigned
successively, so that the BBC suffered the greatest crisis throughout
its history. According to the analyses of various media, what the BBC
that broadcasts the report of the facts lost most in this storm was
the unrivaled public confidence that it once had owned.
The journalist John Simpson said,
“Reputations once lost are very hard indeed to regain. People
forget the precise reasons why they no longer have faith in an
organisation, but the whiff of untrustworthiness lingers for a very
long time. The BBC must have a thoroughgoing reform, though it will
be painful. Or we will never regain the high reputation we enjoyed
around the world until just a few weeks ago.”
Whenever the crisis of the public
confidence comes out, it needs a long time effort to recover
gradually. The incorrect report is one of maladies causing BBC’s
many crises. The anger and disappointment of the public will surely
turn into the paper money burnt on its funeral. It is the time BBC
should have a deep examination. If the BBC doesn’t put an end to
such a kind of report, its future is worrying! The chairman of the
BBC Trust Chris Patten said, “Does the BBC need a thorough
structural radical overhaul? Absolutely it does and that is what we
will have to do.” I agree with Chairman Patten’s opinion and
expect to see that BBC can again become the most respected media in
the world through reformation.
We’ll wait and see how the
BBC is going to resolve this problem.
