Take off "tinted glasses" to see China (4)

Double standards: "Chinese media reports are untrue"

First, there seems to be a unanimous "tacit agreement" that all that reported by Chinese media and Chinese government are mostly fabricated and untrue so that some western media would add "the communist mouthpiece say..." and "This hasn't been verified" to news regarding Tibet.

Dating back to the Lhasa riots on March 14, 2008, we may find such terms in many western news quoting Xinhua and China Daily's report. Even though, the cruel actions of rioters astonished all people with conscience and values, when punitive announcement toward the separatist group who masterminded the riots mouthed by Chinese media, a judging and suspicious attitude came out right away on some western media. Instead of denouncing the brutal rioters, they noted "China's oppression in Tibet" and stressed "these data haven't been verified".

By whom? Western reporters who support "Tibet independence"?

Why?

Isn't it always highlighted by western people that "every man is born equal" and "people are created equal"? Isn't it always suggested by western culture that racial discrimination runs against human rights? Then, why Chinese people are lesser trusted? Why Chinese reporters are suspicious of no work ethics to report truth and facts? Are there double standards that one is used universally while the other is used exclusively for China because it is a communist country?
