Xinhua Finance

Xinhua Finance should be removed from this article, seem a former employee created a fraud company, (or really connected to Xinhua as special agent but were don't know) which Xinhua News Agency had made a statement on 28 April 2007 that they have no relation.

Here is information i removed from the article:

Bloomberg Businessweek commented on the opening of Xinhua Finance, saying that it would have to overcome the "Xinhua stigma" of being associated with "official propaganda", and suspicions by outsiders of its credibility.

The Diplomat source

I recently pointed out that The Diplomat source says the Xinhua fact check only dealt with the testimony of one witness interviewed for a BBC report. It does not say the fact check "denied the existence of the Xinjiang internment camps and other aspects of the Uyghur genocide". The word genocide does not appear in the source. An editor disagreed and referred to a statement, not from Xinhua, but from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin as somehow indicating that the Xinhua fact check covered the whole Xinjiang scenario. The Diplomat source actually says (as the dissenting editor later discovered) "Xinhua’s fact check did not address the bulk of the testimony from other survivors". So, the source is restricting its analysis to a single testimony. Anyway, there was a happy ending. Burrobert (talk) 16:30, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
