China's state-run China Daily newspaper has a launched a furious attack on Paris-based Reporters sans Frontières, accusing it of orchestrating anti-China protests during the Olympic Torch relay.
In an article entitled: "Is RSF a press agency or political
accessory?", which is published without an author byline, China Daily
attacks "the destructive campaign staged by the [RSF] group against the
Olympic torch relay in London, Paris and other cities." It adds that,
"the Olympic flame had to be extinguished several times during the
Paris leg of its relay due to the impudent activities by Tibetan
separatist protestors and RSF members."
China Daily goes even further, saying, “People wonder why ‘Reporters
without Borders’, a self-clamed protector of journalists and the free
press, so passionately wreck the Olympic torch relay in a barbaric
manner… What they did makes people wonder if the group is an Olympics
protestor or a political accessory of anti-China forces.”
The article concludes that, “RSF is not a press agency but a
money-seeking machine since they threw their basic ethical principles
away… Tibet separatists and RSF came together to destroy the torch
relay shamefully to politicize the Olympics and go against the Chinese
people's wishes.”
