zhōng guó中国pī píng批评《niǔ yuē shí bào纽约时报》de的tái wān台湾bào dào报道
On June 1, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian formally criticized The New York Times' coverage of Taiwan at a press conference.
Lin Jian said that The New York Times referred to Taiwan as a "country" in its report.
He pointed out that this practice violates the "one China" principle and gives a platform to people who want "Taiwan independence."
The Chinese side firmly opposes this and has asked the newspaper to correct its mistake.
In fact, this issue began several months ago.
Last December, The New York Times interviewed Taiwan's leader.
To show its dissatisfaction, China asked one of the newspaper's correspondents in Beijing to leave China in February this year.
In response, the United States later revoked the visa of a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, China's official news organization.
Therefore, at the June 1 press conference, Lin Jian not only criticized The New York Times, but also strongly opposed the U.S. actions.
He believed that the United States was using this as an excuse to politically pressure Chinese journalists.
This series of events is not only a conflict between the news media of the two countries, but also shows the different positions of China and the United States on the Taiwan issue.
How media exchanges between the two countries will be affected in the future remains a topic that everyone needs to keep watching.
