You are upset about false claims, but in my view you make a number of unsubstantiated claims. E.g. you have not proven that BBC made false claims.
Sure any news organization will make mistakes. I know since my mother was a journalist. That is human nature. It is quite a different thing to suggest that these mistakes are systematic and ideologically driven.
That is very different from e.g. China were lies and distortions as systemic. Tiannamen Square massacre e.g. is consistently covered up and removed from history and news.
How do you know BBC makes false claims about Xinjiang? The abuses in Xinjiang are reported about from a wide variety of sources. Why should we believe what a dictatorship says over a diverse set of news organizations and eyewhitnessees?
How do you deem the CNBC interview with Joe Tsai censored if it is freely available to us? Choosing to not run a story is their perogative. There is no government which forced them to stop the story as would have been the case in China.
And for the record, I think Joe Tsai is an apologist for dictatorship and oppression, judging by what he said there. I don't think the interview put him in a good light.
You call Western media depravity because you don't like that they criticize China. A good media is not there to cuddle those in power and praise them. The job of journalists is to be critical and ask tough questions.
Yes, criticism spurs conflict. But some values are more important than harmony. I don't think we should stop standing up for human rights just because it might hurt the feelings of some patriotic Chinese. Even my home country Norway gets criticized for human rights abuses. I welcome that criticism. How can we ever become better if we don't listen to criticism?
I believe criticism is part of a meaningful conversation. A respectful conversation can still be had even if one criticizes behavior, policies etc of another country.
And you have to expect that some behavior by China makes people angry. It would be unnatural for people to not get angry about the human rights abuses China engages in. Personally I don't use it to judge China in moral terms. I know all countries are product of their history. Yet I don't' see why I should not point it out. Why should we not strive to be better?
A lot of the Donald Trump sanctions and trade tariffs were stupid. But every sanction is not necessarily bad. China has been treated very mildly with respect to Xingiang. Other countries would have faced much harsher response for such behavior.
