In a strongly worded statement, a spokesperson from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Mao Ning, criticized what she described as a long-standing disinformation campaign by a so-called research institute in Australia. The spokesperson accused the institute of promoting fabricated findings fueled by funding from U.S. defense, diplomatic agencies, and arms dealers.
Mao Ning highlighted that the institute has repeatedly disseminated unsubstantiated claims which, according to her, not only lack proper factual basis but also violate the professional ethics of academic research. "There is no credibility to speak of for this so-called research institute," she declared during a recent press briefing.
Emphasizing the international significance of accurate information, China called on various sectors in Australia and members of the global community to join in denouncing the institute's practices. The statement urged observers to not be swayed by misleading narratives and to stand together against any form of disinformation that could undermine trust and distort global perspectives.
This development comes at a time when the international community is more interconnected than ever, and the demand for reliable news has reached new heights. The call highlights the importance of verifying sources and ensuring that discussions on international policies and research are grounded in credible evidence.
