We strongly condemn conservative forces deliberately using Martin Lee’s English article published in Wall Street Journal to distort the truth in order to try to gain an advantage in elections:
- To press is not to pressurize;
- Direct engagement is not direct interference;
- To support Olympic Games is not to boycott the Games;
We do not wish to see our community unknowingly condoning senseless attacks on people with different political inclinations as if we were back to the Cultural Revolution days. We firmly believe the truth will prevail, and those who seek to plant discord and obfuscation will get nowhere!
