Chinese embassy wants Danish paper to apologize for coronavirus cartoon


Reuters

China’s embassy in Denmark has demanded an apology from daily Jyllands-Posten after it published a cartoon of the Chinese flag with its five yellow stars represented by coronavirus particles.



coronavirus


coronavirus 冠状病毒,由corona +‎ virus构成;corona /kəˈrəʊnə/表示“电晕;日冕;冠状物”。


corona 日冕:a circle of light that can sometimes be seen around the moon at night, or around the sun during an eclipse (= a time when the moon is positioned exactly between the sun and the earth)




In a statement, the embassy said Jyllands-Posten and Danish artist Niels Bo Bojesen should apologize to the Chinese people for publishing the image, captioned “Coronavirus”, in Monday’s edition of the paper.


Without any sympathy and empathy, it has crossed the bottom line of civilized society and the ethical boundary of free speech and offends human conscience,” the embassy said on Tuesday.

不但毫无基本的同情和同理心,反而借疫情侮辱中国和中国人民,严重伤害了中国人民的感情。这一做法挑战了人性良知,越过了文明社会的底线,突破了言论自由的道德边界


彭博社(Bloomberg):“We express our strong indignation and demand that Jyllands-Posten and [cartoonist] Niels Bo Bojesen reproach themselves for their mistake and publicly apologize to the Chinese people,” the embassy said in a statement posted on its website.

我们对此表示强烈愤慨,严正要求《日德兰邮报》和漫画作者深刻反省,向全体中国人民公开道歉。



indignation

Editor-in-chief Jacob Nybroe said the paper had not intended to make fun of the situation in China, but refused to apologize, local newswire Ritzau reported.


“We cannot apologize for something that we don’t believe is wrong,” Nybroe told Ritzau. “We have no intention of demeaning or mocking the situation in China and we don’t think the drawing does that.”

Danish politicians from across the spectrum said China should not pressure the paper. “Full support for Jyllands-Posten,” tweeted Conservative Party leader Soren Pape Poulsen.
