BBC Demonization of China

The demonization of China is in full swing over at the BBC.

In 2016, they said China had a serious problem with jihadist extremism. In 2019, they say this is just 'China's narrative'.

BBC, 2016: ‘jihadist extremist groups across the western border are promoting bloody conflict in China's vast Muslim region of Xinjiang'.

BBC, 2019: ‘This is China’s narrative’.

Err, it was your narrative too just a couple of years ago.

NB: I’m not trying to excuse what China is doing to Uighur Muslims. They’re responding in an over-the-top, authoritarian manner to terrorism. Though it’s nowhere near as bad as what the west did following terror attacks - we invaded several countries, killed a million+ people, looted the oil, etc!
