「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-7-6）(20)

CRI: The 47th session of the Human Rights Council held a few days ago an interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. China delivered a joint statement on the harm of disinformation on behalf of a group of countries. I wonder if you have any further comment about the issue of disinformation?
赵立坚：当前新冠病毒仍在全球肆虐，而“政治病毒”也有扩散蔓延之势。个别国家、个别势力基于意识形态偏见和政治私利，持续散布大量虚假信息和谎言谣言，恶毒攻击抹黑他国。他们散播的虚假信息不仅数量惊人，还走起了“专业化”道路，形成了一条“学者爆料、媒体炒作、政府跟进”的完整谎言链，为干涉别国内政、实施单边强制措施、打压遏制他国持续制造借口。所谓“新疆存在‘种族灭绝’和‘强迫劳动’”，就是他们散布虚假信息并借此打压中国的反面典型。
Zhao Lijian: As the novel coronavirus rages on in many parts of the world, the political virus also seems to be spreading. Certain countries and forces, based on ideological bias and driven by selfish political gains, keep spreading disinformation, lies and rumors to attack and malign other countries. They are not just highly prolific, but have even blazed a professional trail by putting in place a rumor-mongering chain with so-called revelations by academics followed by media hype-up and leading to government actions. This works like a busy assembly line producing endless pretexts to meddle in other countries" internal affairs, impose unilateral coercive measures and suppress and contain others. The false allegations of "genocide" and "forced labor" in Xinjiang are typical examples of how they spread disinformation and attempt to use it to hold China down.
