Recently, The Hill in the U.S. and Daily Telegraph in the U.K., together with some other media, have gone on a wild spree of fabricating stories of chili peppers from Xinjiang allegedly linked to "forced labor," stoking animosity and resentment against China in Western societies, with utter disregard for the true economic and social development in China. From Xinjiang cotton, to Xinjiang tomatoes, and now to Xinjiang chili peppers, some Western media outlets can’t even be bothered to change their "script" in their invented stories. Relentlessly, they have continued to perform one absurd symphony of slander after another, playing their ever-repetitive tune of lies.
