記者問:英國廣播公司(BBC)網站7月7日刊登題為《間諜競賽:中國的全球網絡》的文章,稱中國以商業活動為名從事間諜行為。請問中國大使館有何評論?
使館發言人:該文章罔顧事實,混淆黑白,給正常的中外商業合作貼上間諜活動標籤,充滿了偏見和無知,完全是對公眾的誤導,極大損害了BBC的公信力。
一段時期以來,5G問題一直廣受關注。個別國家極力兜售所謂「華為威脅論」,散布「科技冷戰」陰雲,試圖給全球電信行業築起「隔離牆」。這些言行違背開放包容的時代潮流,影響各國電信業的正常發展,是十分危險的。
一些別有用心的人炒作,中國根據《國家情報法》可以「迫使」電信供應商移交數據。事實上,上述法律規定,國家情報工作應當依法進行,尊重和保障人權,維護個人和組織合法權益。中國從來沒有也不會要求企業或個人以違反當地法律的方式、以安裝「後門」等形式為中國政府採集或提供位於外國境內的數據、信息和情報。中國有句話「欲加之罪,何患無辭」,濫用國家安全理由、人為製造「華為5G安全風險」,只能影響各國開展正常合作,最終只會搬起石頭砸自己的腳。
環顧世界,保護主義、單邊主義嚴重衝擊國際經濟秩序,但經濟全球化是不可逆轉的時代潮流。在這樣的形勢下,我們更要堅持多邊主義,而不是單邊獨霸;要堅持合作共贏,而不是「本國優先」;要堅持「拆牆」,而不是「築牆」。
我們敦促BBC等英國媒體公正、客觀看待中國發展,使西方民眾了解一個真實的中國,而不是妄自臆測和抹黑中國,誤導英國民眾,損害中英互信與合作的基礎。
答問英文:
Embassy Spokesperson's Remarks on BBC article entitled The spying game: China's global network
Question:The BBC website published an article entitled The spying game: China’s global network (July 7). What is the comment of the Chinese Embassy in the UK?
Embassy Spokesperson:This article is full of defamatory comments on normal Sino-foreign business cooperation, which toxical and misleading to the public. It is a serious compromise of the BBC’s professionalism and credibility as a mainstream media to publish such distorted contents.
On the issue of 5G, reports have been dominated by unfair and untrue touting of the so-called 「Huawei threat」 and 「technology cold war」, and even talks of building a 「wall」 that would divide the global telecommunications sector. Such stories are harmful to the normal development of the industry.
The fallacy that China’s National Intelligence Law could 「force」 telecommunications suppliers to hand over data to China is nothing but scaremongering. This law stipulates that 「national intelligence work shall be carried out in a way that respects and protects human rights, and safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and organisations.」 China has never and will never ask companies or individuals to collect data, information or intelligence in others countries by illegal means. Fabricating 「Huawei risk」 in the name of national security is tantamount to giving a dog a bad name to hang him. Doing so will only hamper normal cooperation between countries, and in the end, 「drop the stone on their own feet」.
Quite aside from the protectionist blow that such a move would strike, economic globalisation remains an irreversible trend of our times. Under such circumstances, it is all the more important to choose multilateralism over unilateralism and hegemony, cooperation over putting one’s own country first, and to tear down walls instead of erecting one.
We urge that the BBC and other British media to replace presumptuous speculation, arbitrary defamation and misleading reports with a fair and objective approach to China's development, help the people here in the UK and in other western countries see a real China and protect the mutual trust and co-operation between China and the UK.
