"This is a very controversial story. You don't often have journalists accusing other journalists. It's unprofessional behavior but the authors of that story have been accused by other journalists. More important, the intelligence community in the United States does not back this story."

Some American authorities' prejudice against China as they do not understand China and do not want to know China has resulted in groundless accusations on China, which is harming Sino-U.S. relations, a former diplomat said Thursday.
Charles Freeman is an American diplomat who worked as the main interpreter for Richard Nixon during his 1972 visit to China. He believes that the Bloomberg report accusing China of planting chips in products of Apple, Amazon and other U.S. makers is very unprofessional and even being challenged as groundless by some U.S. media outlets.
Bloomberg Businessweek published an article on its website on Oct. 4, titled "The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies", in which it claimed that Chinese spies had placed computer chips inside equipment used by about 30 companies, including Amazon, and Apple, and multiple U.S. government agencies.
"This is a very controversial story. You don't often have journalists accusing other journalists. It's unprofessional behavior but the authors of that story have been accused by other journalists. More important, the intelligence community in the United States does not back this story," he said.
Once working in the U.S. Embassy in China, Freeman is a witness of the establishment of Sino-U.S. diplomatic relations and has a profound understanding of China and Sino-U.S. diplomatic relationship. He criticized some American policymakers for not understanding China and for making wrong decisions that harm Sino-U.S. relations.
"We have a group of people in power who do not understand China, who do not want to make the effort to understand China, who have preconceived ideas, who do not want to listen to facts," he said.
Freeman lauds China's wise and active reactions to the unilateral U.S. tariffs provocations and looks forward to future improvement of bilateral relations between the world's two biggest economies.
"The best scenario is that China reacts wisely to the American assault, keeps its options open, does not foreclose future improvement with the United States, waits, does work with other countries to preserve the international order that the United States is disturbing, continues to prosper," he said.
