(ECNS) -- We wonder why there is little coverage by some media hailed as free, professional and impartial on the latest investigative report on the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipelines and the chemical leak caused by the train derailment in the U.S., said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin at a regular press conference on Tuesday.
Wang made the remarks after a Bloomberg reporter asked him whether Chinese diplomats and state media outlets are trying to distract public attention from the balloon incident by raising questions around U.S. involvement in the Nord Stream pipeline blast as well as the chemical spill from the train derailment?
"The Nord Stream gas pipelines are vital transnational infrastructure. The explosions have had a serious impact on the global energy market and ecological environment," the spokesman said, adding that if Seymour Hersh, a well-known U.S. investigative journalist, is telling the truth about U.S. involvement in the explosions, what he revealed is clearly unacceptable and must be answered for.
