The BBC and Australian Strategic Policy Institute ASPI (ASswiPe) personally attacked and tried to slander me, Barrie VVeiss, at least twice each, (that I’m aware of..)
See: bestchinainfo.com/news/barrie-v-bbc-full-transcript/
Then the New York Times and Washington Post tried a shot.. Fox News, Dutch National TV NPO, CNN, AgentSmith-China-Uncensored, and numerous other also rans too humorous to mention.. including Reuters see here: https://youtu.be/0YVwzljPQ-o and here: https://youtu.be/ZTZWY5_3Ajc – tried to grab a piece of the action too.. Reuters wanted to interview me about lockdown in Hainan Sanya during the Covid outbreak in 2022 (I was there) But then Reuters realised who I was, peed their panties, and ran away screaming..

Update:
From: https://politiken.dk/person/7878_Malene_Jensen
“Dear Barrie,
My name is Malene Jensen, and I am a Danish reporter living in South Korea. I fell over your YouTube channel about life in China, and I find your videos – especially your analyses and comments about e.g. Xinjiang – very interesting.
I have noticed that you also mention in your YouTube biography “I’m not paid for my thoughts, feelings or observations”. I wonder why you find it necessary to write this.”
Barrie: Because I’m Not! But if anyone wants to give me money to do what I’m doing anyway, ~ doing what I’ve always done – I’ll take it – thanks!

Reuters were the latest bunch of clowns who unwittingly stepped into my lair.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTZWY5_3Ajc
“So. Reuters wanted to interview me about Life in #Hainan #Sanya. I told #Reuters: ‘Yeah I’ll interview with you clowns as long as I can do it naked, and it goes out live’ Reuters peed their panties.😉🤪🤡😜😂😜 They contacted me through YouTube, Douyin, Email, QQ.. really just about everywhere.. It felt like they were pretty keen.. https://youtu.be/ZTZWY5_3Ajc ~ And.. then.. I can only assume ‘Emily’ Wang’s boss took the time to figure out and understand who I am ~ given I’d requested a live interview ~ When I went back to the messages on FB MetaFetaSchmetawhateverthefuckit’scalled, messenger, little ‘Emily’ had blocked me. totally – and I’ve heard nothing back from them since.. ~ Ergo – Reuters pissed their pants at the prospect of taking me on live, the same as the BBC did, and the New York Times, the ASPI, the Washington Post, Fox News..etc etc.. ’nuff said?” 😉🤪🤡😜😂😜

Barrie – BestChinaInfo – I’m one of the ‘vloggers’ , the first, mentioned in the utterly disingenuous and misleading BBC Hit-piece.

Here’s my take on the whole sorry BBC debacle: https://bestchinainfo.com/news/barrie-v-bbc-full-transcript/ It started with a previous feeble attempt by the MIC / MIPAC’s mouthpiece the ASPI (Australian strategic Policy Institute – a ‘Think:’Tank’.) which I ridiculed here: https://youtu.be/9D9I3Ac6HC4 – the BBC hit-piece is a copycat of this flimsy rubbish – Here’s the ‘Prequel’ to the BBC’s latest bungled attempt to besmirch China and independent pro-China voices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbaFcW1H_Zc / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCfvqtB5yvI ” Here’s another excellent takedown – BBC comedy hit-piece dissected: The New Atlas– Highly recommended.

Transcript
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
okay [Music]
Best China info Barrie VVEiss v v e i s s and
uh I’ve been asked if I would uh offer
my perspective
on on democracy
and
specifically i think at this point it’s
kind of significant
because China is uh
carrying out uh elections an election
process and now this might come as
something of a shock
to to a lot of people that uh China has
elections China can vote Chinese people
can vote
yes actually
they can and they do
so so um hopefully along the way i will
be able to dispel
some myths about
the chinese system of
socialism with chinese characteristics a
social democracy with chinese
characteristics and also i hope to be
able to um
destroy the mythology
as i see it of
what western and so-called developed
countries describe as their
version
of democracy itself so um i’m going to
be comparing these two things and this
is my perspective this is my considered
opinion okay this is after
a lot of years of living around the
world in the uk in the us
in australia and now in china and i’ve
seen
many sides of the coin okay
so there are elections in progress
people are voting for deputies to the
people’s congress in china across china
in cities and townships
and villages and principalities
there are these this
process of voting is happening
these people get elected and they get
elected on the basis of
meritocracy now i won’t go into the
great details of this because
it can be a little boring and if i over
intellectualize i’ll lose the message of
what i want to say um eric lee um
very well known uh
venture
socialist capitalist i’m going to call
him he did a great speech a great ted
talk on this uh
2013 maybe
for which he received a standing ovation
and he explains this system far better
than i could and he explains it very
succinctly and and very
um entertainingly um and with a lot of
logic
now logic there’s the word uh logic
the system in china works on logic
it works on meritocracy people get
elected on the basis of
can you do the job are you qualified do
you have experience and they have to
prove themselves they’re elected on this
basis it’s a meritocracy it’s a
democracy democratic meritocracy okay a
socialist democratic meritocracy people
have to prove themselves
our president xi jinping himself
it took him more than 30 years to get to
the position that he’s in he’s not just
elected because
uh because he’s popular although he is
extremely popular people don’t get
elected that way in china they get
elected on can you do the job can you do
the job you’re paid to do which is to
serve the people and this is the very
basis of the government government for
the people by the people and can you do
the job
uh so people are elected on this and and
their their work and their achievements
and their progress is monitored and
reviewed and they can progress through
different tiers of government to to
higher levels and but it’s based on on
it takes many years to do this they
don’t just get there overnight they’re
not voted in
now
by way of contrast let’s look at at
my perspective on on the western
version of
democracy now
um
is it for the people and by the people
well the people have the illusion of
choice okay there’s an illusion of
choice uh we can choose this guy or this
guy or maybe some of those guys over
here but but we have a choice so it’s
democratic
no
so i’m going to explain why why this is
not true
people are voted into seats of power on
the basis of personality
on the basis of how much money
has been pushed and pumped into the msm
the mainstream media to present them as
the choice that people should make
um now
this has got nothing to do with can this
guy do the job is he capable
can i trust him to run my country it’s
not based on this it’s based on it’s
like a popularity contest and here’s
another word contest
it’s zero sum it’s win or lose and it’s
divisive the whole process is
there is a divisive divide and conquer
process built into this it’s combative
it’s um
it’s about conquest it’s about winning
or losing it’s him or me it’s win or die
and
this is the inbuilt system this is this
is innate in the western systems of
so-called democracy
it’s them or us
so there’s no agreement in this the
whole thing is combative right from the
beginning
and
people vote for this guy or this guy
on the basis of what the media is
pumping out pumping into their brains
it’s based on this it’s not based on
can this guy do the job does he have a
trap does he or she have a track record
in being capable of doing this
do i trust him to do this
so
the whole process is
i’m talking about the western process
now western i mean the uk the us
the us and the uk are deeply deeply
divided right now and they have been for
many many years but more so than ever
before australia is also divided
but this is the game and this is the the
idea the idea is to divide people
because a people divided in in
with the western hegemonic terms
are easy to control they’re easy because
they’re fighting amongst themselves
there’s no unity in this and the system
is built on this it’s built on division
it’s built on a conquest it’s built on
zero sun win or lose him or me i saw
them
and so you have whole nations arguing
about how to run the country well china
doesn’t do it like that china says well
how should we do this and they consult
and things are reviewed and and there
are five-year plans these five-year
plans are measurable
a nation of 1.4 billion people
through a government
for the people and by the people has
eradicated extreme poverty has any
western democratic system achieve this
no have they achieved anything close to
this no have they even promised this no
excuse me have they even promised this
no
now here’s another thing this word
promise
in the west in the uk in america they
make these promises i’m gonna do this
make this great again rebuild this build
this back better blah blah blah it’s
promises
and these four year cycles it’s a four
year cycle and it’s a four year cycle of
promises that are not kept and you can
go through the western systems and
history and recent history and find out
that people are really unhappy because
these promises aren’t kept they’re made
and they make these promises in order to
get elected and the other side of this
coin the combative side is they throw as
much rubbish as much mud at the opponent
as possible to make the opponent look
bad
so the whole system is based on on an
argument on on fighting it’s not based
on how can we make our country better
for the people do you see what i’m
saying here it’s quite simple to do this
mathematics to do the math on this and
weigh the one thing up against the other
now
china is accused of being uh
authoritarian uh or um
or uh what’s another word that they like
to use um
a dictatorship well
this is a joke and it’s quite funny to
me um because if you consider that well
if you’re saying that the people of
china
are dictating to themselves
bang on correct that’s right china is a
dictatorship and it is the people who
are dictating this whole thing
do you see
i’m going to pause because i’m just
making myself laugh here hang on
this
four year cycle of most western
electoral systems democracies as they
like to call themselves
it’s a four-year cycle which then
gets appended
there’s a four-year cycle people get
voted they’re pushed by the msm who are
funded and given money there’s lobby
groups
so the the
the politicians
who get elected come pre-owned you don’t
think like a car you don’t you buy a
second-hand car
it’s pre-owned it’s already owned being
owned by somebody but these politicians
are still owned by the money because
they’re bought they’re bought to take a
certain attack on things as they’re
bought to
make certain things happen for
corporations the money owns the
government okay i’ll be clear about this
is my perspective but
i can’t see any of the truth in it than
that
were the people of the uk and the u.s uh
europe various countries consulted uh
australia consulted about uh the inve
the illegal invasion of iraq
or the illegal destruction of libya no
they weren’t they weren’t consulted at
all this was
capitalist adventurism and it was stated
as a plan the pnac for america this was
stated and written down and signed by
various people it’s not difficult to
find this document
we’re going to take out seven countries
in five years iraq was one libya another
syria another were the people consulted
was this anything to do with people no
it wasn’t
okay i mean there’s no consultation in
this at all
um it’s not about the people you see
so and then every four years it gets
upended and then another bunch of clowns
come in
uh to
rake as much money as they can off the
back of the common people
um
with the promise that we’ll promise this
will promise that we’ll promise the
other whatever we have to promise to get
elected i’m going to tell you a little
story
just to round this up okay
a long time ago many years ago one of my
elder brothers told me this about
western politics and he said barry look
it’s like this there is only
one game in town
and that is to win
that’s it there’s nothing else there’s
nothing else matters what you say in
order to win doesn’t matter what you
promise in order to win doesn’t matter
the game is to win
and what you do after you’ve won doesn’t
matter either because you can do
anything you like and they do
they invade countries they they pour
billions of the country’s resources into
weapons and arms and manufacturing
uh manufacturing arms and buying weapons
and selling weapons and invading other
countries
uh capitalist adventurism imperialism if
you want to call it that
uh rob the way of the robber baron
scumbag that’s what the system is
so winning is the only game in town the
question of
how should we run this country doesn’t
enter into this equation at all you see
it never has it never has and uh to this
day it does not
the democratic socialist meritocracy
that exists in china is built on
running the country governing the
country properly there are sets of rules
there are these things are implemented
there are five year plans it is carried
out
i’m not saying it’s perfect when there
are mistakes made there are reviews and
things get reviewed and things get
changed and so as eric lee said
the government might not change as such
it’s still the party
but the policies change to suit the
situation to suit the circumstances the
policies change the policies evolve it’s
a constant revolution you see
and it’s geared up for the people and it
is the people’s voice and now more than
ever with whole system
uh democracy in china you have this
situation where people ordinary people
like you and me are involved and can be
involved at every stage of the process
even to the legislature when when laws
are being drafted
people are invited to comment to suggest
to give their views and these are taken
into account and this can be proven
things have been altered and changed on
the basis of what one person just one
person have said or several people or
many people they have a voice there is a
voice
and this is a government
for the people by the people and it’s
working
the past 40 years the past 100 years you
can check out the proof of what’s
happened come to china and have a look
come and have a look at chinese cities
and then go back and have a look at your
own
and
we have peace we have stability we have
progress
uh the way the government handled the
pandemic situation
it’s faultless and the people trust the
government and this is the other thing
the the approval rating for the chinese
government is sky high it couldn’t get
much higher there’s a reason for this
people trust the government because it
works because it’s the people you see so
is china a dictatorship
if you say that the people are dictating
to themselves yeah china’s a
dictatorship and it works okay
i hope that explains that’s my
perspective is my considered view after
many years of living all around the
world
i hope that it’s useful to you you know
no one’s telling me what to say here i’m
not i’m not reading some document this
is just coming up off the top of my head
okay anyway thank you for listening and
um
i hope this gets out to as many people
as possible um and i wish you all
to be in a safe
peaceful and prosperous land
like we are in china
this is possible there are many forms of
democracy you know there are many ways
of looking at it
what exists in the west
you can you can call it democracy if you
want but it’s not
honestly really
i’m giving you the math you do the sums
okay
thank you
[Music]
there was a girl
that i love
i still do
we used to smile at each other
[Music]
there was a girl
oh
[Music]
darkness all around
then
[Music]
[Music]
it all seemed to make sense.. Let’s do it all over again..

There IS a BBC revenge hit-piece coming. The BBC emailed me and asked me if I would like to participate’ refused to meet me face to face online.
Trust the BBC? No I don’t trust them any further than I could kick them, which isn’t very far. I invited the typis.. stenographe.. ‘journali..’ (..?) in question to a face to face online interview – – they refused. I know full well that a hatchet job hit-piece is being written – the agenda is already set and decided – In our email exchanges this reporter has already lied to me – and denied it – twice.
UPDATE!!!: Previous comments cut and pasted into this fourth attempt!! UPDATE: This is a Re-upload – It seems playback is affected on certain devices due to some kind of ‘auto’ optimisation and normalisation algorithm in the software we use to edit videos – discrepancies – probably because there are two video sources involved – it does sound ok on our laptops and phones – maybe it’s just certain devices – we’ll try to -re-optimise the audio track separately tomorrow and re-upload.! Apologies .

Anyway, onward, a teaser.

HI Barrie, We’re currently writing a story on China and youtubers in the country. Would we be able to speak to you about this? Many thanks Form Submission Apr 18, 1:48 PM Hi ******, Thanks for your email. A story on China and Youtubers in the country.. Well, I might be interested, and although I wouldn’t describe myself as a ‘youtuber’ exactly, some dialogue with you on this would be useful in the first instance, to give me a clearer picture – so I would suggest we have a Tencent meeting / Skype chat to discuss. cheers Barrie Email Apr 21, 6:34 AM Hi Barrie, Thanks so much for getting back to me. As I mentioned, we’re writing a piece on foreigners who create videos for Youtube and appear in Chinese state media. I understand your video was used in a MOFA briefing recently. I had a few questions to ask and also wanted to share some claims that have been made, that I would like to give you a right of reply to. You claim to have worked for a newspaper in England for six years. Where and when was this? Why do you think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs used your video in the briefing? What has prompted you to make these videos? And is there a reason they have become more political over time? Here are the claims that I would like to give you a right of reply to: Your videos are coordinated to counter investigative reports by independent media outlets on topics such as the treatment of China’s Uyghur community Your videos are part of a disinformation campaign to spread communist party rhetoric You are paid by China to create these videos Email…
Best China Info1 month ago (edited)Part 3 on the BBC Hit-piece here – delving deeper: https://t.co/6Cfx01ugsX?amp=1 Inception? Does Mainstream Media such as the BBC Influence Your Thoughts Without You Even Realising it? You might not think they do. But they do. Barrie begins his Analysis of the BBC Hit-Piece and Finds Unexpected Revelations – Mind Control and Thought Manipulation. The BBC never showed or published my responses to the questions and ‘claims’ they put to me, that they asked of me. So. This was a pre-written hit-piece – a thinly veiled attempt to discredit China, Hua ChunYing and China’s MoFA – Ministry of Foreign Affairs – disguised as a smear piece on myself + other pro-China Vloggers.
The BBC, ‘by their good grace’.. ‘gave me the right to reply’ to questions and claims they had concocted – which I did – in full – they never published my replies – but then, that was never the intention – this was a revenge hit-piece to discredit pro China vloggers, and more importantly, to propagandise against China and China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Stay tuned for the forthcoming video – there are more revelations coming!!

Here’s the full transcript of the email exchanges: https://bestchinainfo.com/news/barrie...
Recommend listening to this: https://youtu.be/fHICKSqgMo4?t=1284
There seems to be an almost rabid desperation to know which newspaper I worked for. I am somewhat bemused by this. It’s no biggie to me. Moreover – my personal and business information is private and will remain so. It’s not for public consumption. I have no reason to lie about my professional history. (At my age one ceases to worry or care too much what people think, what accusations they make, what names they call you, etc)
To re-iterate: “I worked for the UK’s largest circulation daily newspaper for six years”. I know it. My colleagues know it.
(I also worked for the BBC!)
p.s. I read ALL comments – and approve or delete. I am happy to allow criticism through if it is considered, thoughtful, and warrants response. If they don’t, or if there are offensive, menacing, racist or threatening comments (there are many) – they go straight to the trash. It takes time. I’m a pretty busy fellow – I do it whenever I get a minute!

Dear Barrie,
My name is Malene Jensen, and I am a Danish reporter living in South Korea. I fell over your YouTube channel about life in China, and I find your videos – especially your analyses and comments about e.g. Xinjiang – very interesting.
I have noticed that you also mention in your YouTube biography “I’m not paid for my thoughts, feelings or observations”. I wonder why you find it necessary to write this.
I am currently writing an article about bloggers in China who do pro-China analyses and about the hate they receive online, and for that reason, I hope to interview you.
The article will be published in Politiken which is one of Denmark’s biggest newspapers. Politiken is one of the leading news media in Denmark, targeting highly educated readers and focusing on foreign news and culture. For more information about Politiken, please feel free to visit our website http://pol.dk (only in Danish) or https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politiken (information in English).
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for reading this.
Regards

hi Malene, Thanks for your message. Possible. But first: Why are you writing the article ‘about bloggers in China who do pro-China analyses and about ‘the hate they receive online’? ‘ ~ It seems quite prescriptive. Also, on what edge of the political spectrum do ‘Politiken’ sit?
Sep 15, 2022, 7:25 PM
Dear Barrie,
Thanks for your reply. In regard to the up-coming party congress, Politiken wants to focus on news from China the coming weeks. As a reporter who myself live in a foreign country (ROK), I often encounter bloggers/YouTubers/influencers or just ordinary people who live in China and tell very positive stories about the country and about living there. I also often (in Western media) hear the same people being critised for being paid by the government or spreading lies/propaganda. What I never encounter, is the same people getting a chance to actually explain and share their story in the (established) media. I work differently from many other journalists in the sense that I want to stay open and understand instead of judge and let the people who are usually omitted from the media speak for themselves. Hence, this article. (!!!!!!!!!)
Danish news media differ greatly from e.g. American or British in the sense that they are more “neutral” and usually try to hide their political stance. However, Politiken has since its foundation in 1884 historically been a socialist newspaper. I hope this answers your questions. If not, feel free to ask me to ellaborate

Let me consider this.. Anything else you care to add will help in my considerations!
Sep 15, 2022, 7:56 PM
Reuters recently asked to interview me – I said yeah, sure, as long as we do it live – suffice to say, they ran away screaming.. 😂
Sep 15, 2022, 7:59 PM
Dear Barrie,
Sorry for the late response – I got caught up in the BBC affair (which I honestly had not heard of previously). I am surprised to learn that BBC did not wish to have a video interview with you – that is exactly what I hope for. I am afraid that Politiken does not do live-streaming, so this will not be an option, but I would be happy to chat with you over Zoom, WeChat, Skype or whatever platform you prefer. As I said previously – I wish to understand your viewpoints and arguments, (and I am not concerned about which media platform you work for)
Sep 15, 2022, 8:41 PM
*worked for, sorry
Sep 15, 2022, 8:56 PM
hi Malene, 23:46 China time..
Sep 15, 2022, 11:46 PM
Thanks again for a decent reply. Sorry, evening ran away with me..
The BBC, like Reuters, wouldn’t dare risk a live interview.. or even a video interview – it would be hard to twist or spin someone like myself – words, emails, yes, as you’ve probably seen from what I’ve sent.. The BBC thing was a pre-arranged ‘hit-piece’, as was the New York Times thing, the ASPI thing, Washington Post, Fox News, etc etc.. A video interview with you sounds fun, given what you’ve said to me so far – and I’m taking you at your word.
Sep 16, 2022, 2:23 AM
A zoom or skype would be ok I think if I have your word that what I say, or any segments of our interview itself, won’t be used out of context as part of yet another pro-west hit-piece..
Sep 16, 2022, 2:24 AM
As you may or may not already be aware, re the the BBC New York Times ASPI Washington Post, Fox News pre-arranged hit-pieces – There was, has been, and is, – a most definite co-ordinated effort to discredit and slander any pro-China voices. This is western msm-wide – across the board – the aforementioned are just a few names out of a very tawdry hat. This coordinated effort is hilarious – considering this is the very claim they have been making against any pro China vloggers.

Thanks, a video interview would be great! I assure you that I will not use any of your quotes out of context, but of course some of my questions will be critical as I hope it can pave the way for you to better explain your arguments and view for my Danish readers. When are you free for an interview? Possibly this weekend?
On Monday, I am undergoing an eye surgery so I have time either in this weekend or the end of next week. I hope you understand.
Sep 16, 2022, 9:12 AM
hey Malene – sending you very best wishes that your eye surgery goes well..
ok.. this weekend.. might be pushing it.. I’ve got a big tri-continental type interview on Saturday
So ~ probably the end of next week is better
Totally understand ~ wish you best
p.s. I’m ok with critical ~ bring it on.. and.. If we do end of next week, when do you envisage the interview going online?
Sep 16, 2022, 11:43 AM
Great, let’s schedule it for the end of next week then. How about Thursday? I am free until 4.30 pm Beijing time
Sep 16, 2022, 11:49 AM
I am afraid I cannot tell you the publication date yet, it is not for me to decide, but my editor. I will write him and ask, but of course it all depends on the news flow:) And I will let you know the moment I have a fixed date 🙂
Sep 16, 2022, 11:51 AM
Thursday until 4pm.. I’ll get back to you on this..
Thank you.
Sep 18, 2022, 11:18 AM

If you wish, I can send you the quotes I’d like to use from you after the interview, so you can double-check that I don’t take quotes out of context?
Sep 21, 2022, 1:15 PM
Who?
How can you have quotes in advance?
If you reveal to me who else you approached, and provide your outline questions.. I’ll consider further..
Sep 21, 2022, 1:34 PM
Sorry, I think you misunderstood:) I texted “after the interview”
I reached out to Oli and Lee Barrell
And let me just check who else

I don’t know 🙂 I prefer not to speculate in people’s motives 🙂
Sep 21, 2022, 1:43 PM
If you want to, we can also have an informal video meeting where we can chat a bit so you can feel what kind of person I am
Sep 21, 2022, 1:46 PM
I think you do.. ~ Obviously for the same reasons I am also reticent..
Sep 21, 2022, 1:46 PM
So; Given: “If you wish, I can send you the quotes I’d like to use from you after the interview, ” ~ Can I assume that the video interview itself won’t be published? Merely your selected quotes from it? (Encapsulated in an article you’ll write.. ~} or worse, have already written.. ?

Sep 21, 2022, 1:50 PM
Yes, I will not include any video in my article. And it is not written yet, as the article depends on which people I interview
Sep 21, 2022, 1:52 PM
And what will you do if I decide not to do the interview with you, and you’ve also had no response from anyone else.. How does that pan out? I’m still unclear as to the purpose behind this article of yours / Politiken’s.. the agenda..
Sep 21, 2022, 5:19 PM
Hi 🙂
If no one wishes to do the interview, I will still write the story with quotes from some of the videos from your channels
My deadline is tomorrow. Will you be interested in doing the interview? 🙂

Sep 22, 2022, 1:33 PM
You can benefit from being able to explain why you are blogging about China in the way you do, and how you came to see China as you do
Sep 22, 2022, 2:09 PM
I take it that you use your platforms to show the world how you view China? I guess this is an opportunity for you to do the same, except it will be published on another platform (here Politiken)
Sep 22, 2022, 2:10 PM
‘I take it that you use your platforms to show the world how you view China?’ ~ Nope! I do what I do to please myself ~ for whimsy’s sake.. I’ve written, blogged, twittered for some years prior to living in China.. My views on the world haven’t changed one jot.
Sep 22, 2022, 7:33 PM
Actually I’ be happy to chat with you..
Sep 22, 2022, 8:29 PM
Well that sounds great 🙂 When are you available?
Sep 22, 2022, 8:32 PM
Well.. I have conditions..
If it’s to be an ‘onliner’ – video – I’d reserve the right to reproduce it on my various other channels..
and, as such, I’d probably ask you some questions myself..
Sep 22, 2022, 8:50 PM
It’s 9pm ish here China time – I’ve got a window between 10 pm and 10:45 pm..
Sep 22, 2022, 8:56 PM
Actually, scratch that – tomorrow would be better – Sometime free after 4pm – 23-09-2022
Sep 22, 2022, 8:59 PM
Hi sorry for the late reply. I consulted my editor as it is not my decision to make, since you will use the interview on your own platform. He told me not to accept. The reason is that
>>>Politiken is adhering to Denmark’s rules for press ethics and press practice which is a legal system to ensure that we treat over interviewees ethically as a well-established media giving you legal protection. But it does not go the other way around creating an improper power balance.<<<<
I hope you understand.
Sep 23, 2022, 4:05 PM
I would still like to do the interview with you though, naturally ensuring that your quotes and viewpoints are not misused. The Danish press system is very different to that of other western media giving you as an interviewee a lot of rights. Feel free to look into it if you doubt me 🙂
Sep 23, 2022, 4:08 PM
“He told me not to accept. The reason is that Politiken is adhering to Denmark’s rules for press ethics and press practice which is a legal system to ensure that we treat over interviewees ethically as a well-established media giving you legal protection.

— Barrie VVeiss
Sep 23, 2022, 5:01 PM
“I would still like to do the interview with you though, naturally ensuring that your quotes and viewpoints are not misused” so, a video, or.. ~ if I’m not ‘allowed’ to use the video myself.. a voice call.. ?
Sep 23, 2022, 5:03 PM
Both a video call, a voice call or a written reply would be fine 🙂
Sep 28, 2022, 10:35 AM
So ‘deadline’ extended..
Sep 29, 2022, 10:46 PM
Wanna send me your questions?
Sep 30, 2022, 11:51 AM
— Barrie VVeiss
You lied to me. You wrote, or, rather, typed out, a pre-wriiten, prescribed, ‘Hit-Piece’.
You didn’t even have to courtesy to let me know it was published or give me access to it.
You have zero integrity.
I will expose you.
Thoroughly.
