Chinese complain at 'baseless rumours'

The Chinese government news agency Xinhua has posted an article on its website from Huanqiu Shibao (Global Times), condemning various western news outlets for publishing "inventions" about the country ahead of the Olympics. In particular, it denies stories about files being kept on foreign journalists and accuses the Washington Post, International Herald Tribune, Die Welt, Associated Press and Voice of America of spreading baseless rumours.
