BEIJING, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) — The United States has played a shameful role as an outspoken purveyor of lies on the South China Sea issue, according to a report titled "Incitement, Threats and Lies – The Truth About External Interference in the South China Sea Issue" released Thursday by the Xinhua Institute, a think tank under the Xinhua News Agency.
The document reveals that the United States has a long history of extensive theoretical research, using its dominant position in international discourse to fabricate false narratives, distort facts and obscure the truth, resulting in misleading information being widely disseminated under the guise of authoritative journalism.
While the media tries to portray China as an aggressive power that bullies weak states, it ignores the root cause of the South China Sea issue – the Philippines’ occupation of Chinese islands and reefs, and its role in fueling maritime boundary disputes.
As the report highlights, the researchers found that the United States has consistently played a dominant role in shaping international narratives about the South China Sea.
Beginning with the administration of former President Barack Obama, various US government agencies, think tanks, and media outlets have persistently promoted narratives such as “China seeks to control the South China Sea,” “China does not respect international law,” “China is undermining the rules-based international order,” and “China is coercing its maritime neighbors.”
These narratives, often based on selective or even distorted information, have been used to comprehensively denigrate China’s policies and actions to protect its maritime rights, the report notes. In recent years, U.S. tactics in this regard have escalated, becoming more direct and vocal, the report notes.
This report is part of a three-part series on the South China Sea published by Xinhua Institute. The other two reports are titled “Incitement, Threats and Lies – The Truth about External Interference in the South China Sea Issue” and “Turning the South China Sea into a Sea of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation: China’s Actions.” -0-
