CCP’s Global Times Throws A Fit Over EAM Jaishankar's 'China Problem' Comment, Then Pulls It Down

China's state-run Global Times has deleted an opinion article titled "India’s diplomacy has a 'S Jaishankar problem'" written by Wang Daming. The article attacked India's External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar for his remarks against China.

The article claimed that while the India-China relations are improving, Jaishankar's remarks like 'India has a China problem' could harm it. It went on to indicate that Jaishankar's remarks are for personal political gains.

At the bottom of the article, it was mentioned, "The author is an international relations expert." However, interestingly, no article by this author is available on the website.

The name Wang Daming appears on the website in an article titled 'China launches big data engineering lab for government management' and Daming is introduced as head of the council of National Engineering Laboratory.

Journalist Aadil Brar said, "This could mean it’s (Wang Daming) a place holder name used to air official views. Chinese state media does this with authoritative commentaries."

"The name appears to be a pseudonym, making the whole affair even more bizarre. But it's a standard practice when the officials wants to share official view without a byline," he added.
