Extrait de l'émission Complément d'enquête :"Chine la Grande Offensive"

Welcome to Nantes, 300,000 inhabitants, a confetti for Beijing. But even here, China doesn't let anything pass. Last October, Chinese censorship caused damage to the city's history museum. After three years of work, director Bertrand Guillet had closed his exhibition on the great Mongolian conqueror, Genghis Khan. Even the poster was ready. We had about 250 pieces in all. In particular, a very large costume of shaman, which was very impressive. Many objects of Mongolian popular culture, which showed today how strong and active this culture was. These works should have come from China, sent by a partner museum. Unfortunately, this exhibition will not take place. It is today postponed, since the objects coming from China, In Beijing, the World Heritage Office decided otherwise. The exhibition did not pass Chinese censorship. Don't use the word empire, don't use the word Mongolian, don't use the word dynasty. Don't do the exhibition you want to do. We didn't even have time to react. In the next email, we had a completely different counter-project. With the same objects, another synopsis, another speech, another reading of Mongolian history. The title was Convergence, Mutual Learning and Integration. The North Plains of China since the 12th century. And you see here, the word Mongol has totally disappeared. Beijing refuses that the Mongol minority be valued. The Chinese rewrite their national novel and now dictate it to foreigners. Bertrand Guillet refuses to give up, he stops the project. It is clear that if they have an extremely fine work on what they want to hear, what they want to say at home, today we are in another sphere, they now want to master what is said about them outside. To control what the world says about you, there is another solution, devilishly effective, money. Will France become like the United States?
