Chinese media organisation Global Times published the results of its investigations into BBC reporting on Saturday, highlighting 41 English-language articles on the country’s north-western Xinjiang province written over the past six months that it said lacked journalistic integrity.
It found the articles relied mainly on second-hand comments and reports from the Western and US media and said that the BBC read “more like an anonymous site busy with making up, editing, processing and spreading trustless information in terms of Xinjiang coverage.”
