Spanish TV told to face up to mistakes. "Repeatedly broadcast programs that humiliate the Chinese"

China on Thursday urged Spanish media to dispel the negative effects of broadcasting a TV program that insulted the Chinese.

"We urge Spanish television to face up to its mistakes, respond to the justified demands of the public with sincerity, dispel the negative effects of the incident as soon as possible and avoid similar incidents in the future," foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a regular news briefing.


Spanish TV channel Telecinco on May 15 broadcast a program with video images showing a Chinese person turned away from a bar because a sign said "Chinese and dogs prohibited."

  • The Spanish television channel has repeatedly broadcast programs that humiliate the Chinese, which is against the news media's social responsibility and professional ethics, Hong said.
He said that for a long time Chinese nationals and people of Chinese descent have contributed to the economic and social development of Spain.

Q: The Spanish TV station Telecinco recently once again broadcast programs with insulting languages and contents against the Chinese. What is China's comment?
A: Relevant TV stations in Spain repeatedly broadcast programs insulting the Chinese. This kind of sensationalism and vilification goes against the social responsibility and professional ethics of the media industry. For quite a long time, a multitude of overseas Chinese in Spain work hard, abide by the laws and regulations and make active efforts to integrate into the local society, making positive contributions to promoting the economic, social and multi-cultural development of Spain. We require the TV station to face up to its mistakes, respond to the legitimate demand of the public with a sincere attitude, remove the negative impact caused by this incident as soon as possible, and prevent similar activities from happening again...........http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/2511_665403/t1158708.shtml
