On April1, 2019 the article “Chinese Dissidents Feel Heat of Beijing’s Wrath Even in Canada” by Catherine Porter was published in New York Times. This is a harmful article that supports lies. The article tries to suppress, by innuendo and misleading inference, legitimate criticisms and the right to freely question.
From the article, we can see:
1. As a reporter, Ms. Porter lacks discernment because she is unable to recognize those who lie from those telling the truth. In this case, the truth would be obvious to any reporter who applies sincere and vigorous pursuit of the facts and to any reporter who is able to set aside personal bias and forgone conclusions.
2. She ignores evidence that is contrary to Sheng Xue’s allegations; therefore, her reporting is biased because she began writing this article having pre-decided the out come.
3. She doesn’t understand the strategies and influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She has fallen into the very trap that she mistakenly thought she was exposing. In short, she has been had.
4. Ms. Porter made wrong connections between the CCP and those who questioned and criticized Sheng Xue. The result was harm done to these innocent people who raised legitimate questions. Their reputations, already injured by the lies of Sheng Xue, were further harmed by Ms. Porter’s biased reporting and twisting of the truth.
5. Ms. Porter failed to address the connection between Sheng Xue and the CCP which has caused turmoil in overseas Chinese democracy movement.
The signatories of this letter have all been interviewed by Ms. Porter for this article and all have had their statements twisted or ignored.
Finally, we would request that the New York Times clarify the facts of this issue and continue its longstanding reputation for excellence in unbiased reporting and respected investigative journalism.
