【明報專訊】THE "investigation report" the Xinjiang authorities released the day before yesterday about the incident in which some armed police officers beat three Hong Kong journalists slanders the three. Not only has it damaged the journalists' image, the armed police's and the nation's, but it has also grievously damaged Xinjiang's image. The inaccurate report has caused the four sides losses. The affair is lamentable because it grieves China's friends and gladdens its foes.
