Seoul, May 23 /Xinhua/ — The Ambassador of China to the Republic of Korea (ROK), Dai Bing, on Friday called on representatives of all circles of the South Korean community to oppose disinformation, discrimination, and incendiary rhetoric, as well as to promote mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
In his post on social media, he expressed gratitude to the President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Jae-myung, for criticizing some local media, which fabricated stories related to North Korea and inflamed anti-Chinese sentiments.
Previously, the Seoul Economic TV channel issued a public apology for a report that claimed Chinese citizens were mass-buying apartments in the Gangnam district of Seoul.
Li Che Men called this report “deliberately fabricated fake news” after an official review.
“Freedom of speech is not the freedom to spread lies,” wrote Dai Bin, calling on the relevant media to observe journalistic ethics, cover events related to North Korea based on facts, and do more to strengthen mutual understanding, trust, and friendship between the Chinese and South Korean peoples.
As local media report, Seoul Economic TV deleted the original report and published a corrected piece based on official government statistics.
