「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-3-31）(23)

的确我们也听说，新疆有一些民众和实体因为沙磊的涉疆假新闻利益受到损害，打算起诉沙磊。这完全是民间行为，与中国政府无关。中国现在正在推进全面依法治国，民众运用法律手段维护自身权利和利益的意识在不断增强。我们也没有听说有中国政府部门威胁他。所以，如果沙磊认为他的报道是公正的、客观的，他就应该勇敢地应诉，不用害怕。如果有证据表明他受到了威胁，他就应该报警，我们会保护他的安全。但是他跑什么？这说明了什么问题？
We have heard though, some Xinjiang residents and entities that have suffered heavy losses because of the false reports by John Sudworth plan to seek legal redress against him. This has nothing to do with the Chinese government. As China is advancing the rule of law in an all-round way, there is stronger awareness among the Chinese citizens to safeguard their rights through the law. We have not heard of any threat from any Chinese authorities targeted against him. Therefore, if John Sudworth deems his report to be fair and objective, he should be able to defend himself in court without fear. If there was evidence that he was threatened in any way, he should have called the police and we would have kept him safe. Now what is he running away from? What do you think this means?
BBC制播了大量带有强烈意识形态偏见的假新闻，严重偏离媒体报道客观、平衡、公正的立场，特别是在涉疆、涉港和涉新冠肺炎疫情问题上散布了大量虚假信息，因此遭到了中国人民的强烈反对。中方多次向该台提出了严正交涉，希望他们严肃对待中方立场，摒弃反华意识形态偏见和双重标准，停止对华污蔑、抹黑、攻击，客观、公正、准确地报道中国。
