British Ambassador to China Caroline Wilson's op-ed on Tuesday accusing Chinese media's calling foreign journalists in China "China haters" is making both false and wrong arguments. In a Chinese language article published on WeChat, the most popular social media platform in China, Wilson lamented that foreign media's positive role in China has been vilified.

But no one has argued against the legitimate watchdog role of the press, despite the fact that China has much to improve in this regard, and could and should learn from best practices globally. Wilson didn't name the specific article when she alleged China Daily called foreign media "China haters". I have used that term, too, but only of some journalists, pundits and politicians who have shown a consistent pattern of demonizing China by presenting one-sided stories or telling ... » Learn More about UK ambassador makes wrong argument
