Li Tieyin, state councillor in charge of news media, charges, "Since China instituted its reforms and liberalization, the broadcast media in the United States, Western Europe and the territories of Taiwan and Hong Kong that are opposed to the Communist Party of China have not stopped their assault and slander for a single day, creating incidents and rumors."
主管新聞工作的國務委員李鐵映公開表示，「美國、西歐及台灣、香港地區的反中反共的傳媒，自中國進行改革、開放以來，從來沒有一天停止過從政治、社會、經濟上對中國進行攻擊、誹謗，製造事端、謠言。」
