The BBC has continued to exercise biased reporting against China whilst favouring South Korea in its news report this week.

Huge protests in Seoul against the resumption of US beef import in recent weeks have seen the ‘use of force‘ against the protesters. Visuals of police officers kicking and beating the protesters with batons were shown on Asian news networks but the BBC has completely glossed over the action whilst citing the use of water cannon to mitigate the brutality.

China on the other hand did not beget the kind of attitude and understanding the BBC had conferred to South Korea as the British news giant brings up the country’s human rights record and linked the efforts to restore order in a violent protest in Tibet in March as a human rights issue which would affect its Olympic Games.

The article, published on Friday July 4, emphasised the ‘use of force‘ by the Chinese authorities to bring order to a violent protest in Lhasa – described as a ‘demonstration‘ by the western media such as the BBC – which killed scores of civilians of mainly Han ethnics.

If anything, the mobsters are the abusers of human rights while the Chinese government are protector of human rights and the US and Korea government did not respect Korean human rights while Korean protesters are defenders of human rights.

Thus, the BBC stood by the abusers and violators of human rights.
