In addition, the newspaper maintained a subsection on its website that originated from People\u2019s Daily Online and naturally also ran unrestrained Beijing PR. No wonder, since this is the English version of the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s Central Committee. The Guardian quotes some typical headlines from articles that have since been deleted. The headlines read, for example, \u201cWhy are some framing China\u2019s heroic efforts to stop coronavirus as inhumane?\u201d; \u201cTraditional Chinese medicine \u2018helps fight coronavirus\u2019\u201d; and \u201cCoronavirus outbreak is not an opportunity to score points against China.\u201d The Telegraph is reported to have received about \u00a3750,000 a year for supporting Chinese state propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The step by the Telegraph comes late, and the motives for it remain hidden. The paper follows newspapers such as the S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung and The New York Times, which have also withdrawn from such cooperation. Until the end of 2019, the Handelsblatt was the only German newspaper to carry China Watch. Despite several inquiries, its management does not want to comment on the conditions of cooperation with the Communist Party. And also Le Figaro in France or Le Soir of Belgium refuse to respond to appeals from civil society, including the International Campaign for Tibet. Transparency and openness would be essential, especially for newspapers that are important watchdogs in a democratic society. This lack of transparency does not match the image of independent media and damages their credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The termination of China Watch by the Telegraph is a long overdue step. It was and is a shame for free Western media to disseminate propaganda of a regime that uses violence to attack freedom of expression and mercilessly censors the media. It is incomprehensible why free Western media can be bought by a system that harasses, persecutes and imprisons countless people who dare to insist on their human right to freedom of expression. It is high time that the remaining China Watch inserts in Western newspapers are now discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This blog post was written by ICT Germany&#8217;s Executive Director Kai M\u00fcller.
