[11] Chongqing Morning Post has a special section in Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao.
[12] On 26 November 2006, Wolfgang Kubin, a German sinologist, was interviewed by the Deutsche Welle and gave his views on Chinese contemporary literature, Chinese writers, and some specific writers and works, including some criticisms and opinions.
[13] However, a month later, this interview was partially reproduced by Chongqing Morning Post, and Kubin's criticism of individual writers and his opinions on Chinese contemporary literature became A German sinologist calls Chinese contemporary literature rubbish (德国汉学家称中国当代文学是垃圾),[14] and was reproduced by major media in Mainland China, which caused great repercussions[15] and was called "Kubin Incident" (顾彬事件).
[17] On the other hand, People's Daily accused Chongqing Morning Post of creating "fake news".
Kubin never said that contemporary Chinese literature is all rubbish, but Chongqing Morning Post said so for the sake of sensational effect.
