今天(4月17日)上BBC瞧瞧,看他们对青海地震的评述,在“more top stories”下有个标题“China quake toll 'passes 1,000'”,点进去,有个中国地震小专题,页面右边有篇文章:“Qinghai: Barren, remote province”,在进入。文中可以有这样的描述:
“Correspondents say China's strict rule over its restive Tibetan population may have meant a high number of troops stationed around Yushu when the quake struck, and the first images from the scene showed military personnel scrabbling to help the injured. ”
“The Qinghai region was incorporated into China at the beginning of the 18th century, and became a Chinese province in 1928. For centuries Qinghai was part of Tibet, and Tibetan nationalists still regard the province as under colonial rule. ”
西方就是在日常报道中这样“顺便”发表下自己的倾向。
