It is worth noting that Xinhua News Agency is one of the three main mouthpieces in the party media, along with People’s Daily and CCTV. China Railway No. 7 Bureau is affiliated with China Railway Group Co., Ltd., and its controlling shareholder is China Railway Engineering Group Co., Ltd., which is a major state-owned enterprise of the Assets Supervision and Administration Commission The State Council to fulfill its investment obligations.

According to Chinese media reports, Wang Wenzhi, who was beaten by staff from the Seventh Bureau of China Railway, is currently the director of the “Social and Economic Reporting Office” of the “Economic Information Daily”. He once started the online gambling platform “Sun City”, indirectly As a result, the head of Macau “Xi Mihua” behind the scenes was arrested.

The X account “Journalist Xiaowu” posted on November 15, “Being beaten by a Xinhua News Agency reporter can only mean one thing. Even if the Party is your surname, no there is no guarantee that you will not be beaten. Xinhua News Agency and China Railway are both parents of the Party.” Good slaves, but the master said nothing and the slaves acted first.”

Mainland mediaperson Zhao Lanjian pointed out that there is a deep shadow behind the coverage of large infrastructure projects by party media reporters. He told the Epoch Times that there are powerful official forces behind high-speed rail and large infrastructure projects, which is why they want to defeat party media reporters, but he is not simple behind journalists who want to attack hard-nosed reporters.

Zhao Lanjian said, “Almost all CCP officials have become multi-millionaires. The vast amount of wealth created by China’s real estate, infrastructure and manufacturing industries has made many people both officials and behind-the-scenes actors. Boss. has been exposed to many similar cases before, but few people would touch these cases As soon as a reporter wants to touch this incident, the reporter will have support from the leadership of the newspaper or the support of certain officials, or there is some conspiracy of interests behind the scenes.”

Zhao Lanjian revealed that what reporters are directly offending is the conflict between interest groups and political groups. Many reporters are involved in dangerous, one-sided reports. . Either this narrator has someone to support him in playing this dark force, or the force supporting him is a dark force. There are also some reporters who engage in this type of reporting to rely on interest groups to pursue personal interests.

He said: “In a society where information is controlled and closed, there is no justice. It is a game played by interest groups behind the scenes. In this game, reporters are just little bullets in the front office.”

Zhao Lanjian said that these two reporters wanted to cover and report because they had received support from the leaders of the Xinhua News Agency. “Which head of the Xinhua News Agency arranged for these two reporters to play against this interest group? It does not necessarily stand on the side of justice. Because in society with closed information and control, in a society without the rule of law, justice and the truth are not the justice and the truth that the people see, they are purified as “justice and truth”.

Zhao Lanjian also pointed out that behind the news reported by the Chinese media is a large-scale black business operation, and reporters are one of the chains in this black business chain.

“Because all the news media in China depend on the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee. They have to beautify China’s economic crisis and fall on social reality. Behind here, there is another voice called ‘tell the story of China well’ What about telling a good story about China? We are going to write false propaganda despite the reality of the image situation to the called
