Criticisms and controversies
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.{{cite web|publisher=Deutsche Welle|title=The Other Eye of German Sinology Authority on Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature|url=https://www.dw.com/zh/%E5%BE%B7%E5%9B%BD%E6%B1%89%E5%AD%A6%E6%9D%83%E5%A8%81%E5%8F%A6%E4%B8%80%E5%8F%AA%E7%9C%BC%E7%9C%8B%E7%8E%B0%E5%BD%93%E4%BB%A3%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E6%96%87%E5%AD%A6/a-2249278|date=16 November 2006}} 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),{{cite news|url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/edu/2006-12/11/content_5466764.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109173334/http://news.xinhuanet.com/edu/2006-12/11/content_5466764.htm|title=A German sinologist calls Chinese contemporary literature rubbish|url-status=dead|date=11 December 2006|archive-date=9 January 2014|work=Xinhua News Agency}} and was reproduced by major media in Mainland China, which caused great repercussions{{cite news|url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/edu/2006-12/11/content_5466764.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140904204434/http://news.xinhuanet.com/overseas/2006-12/22/content_5518563.htm|title=Who made up "Chinese contemporary literature is rubbish"?|url-status=dead|date=22 December 2006|archive-date=4 September 2014|work=Xinhua News Agency}} and was called "Kubin Incident" (顾彬事件).{{cite web|publisher=Deutsche Welle|title=Interview with Kubin, editor-in-chief of the ten-volume History of Chinese Literature|url=https://www.dw.com/zh/%E4%B8%93%E8%AE%BF%E5%8D%81%E5%8D%B7%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E6%96%87%E5%AD%A6%E5%8F%B2%E4%B8%BB%E7%BC%96%E9%A1%BE%E5%BD%AC/a-2619802|date=24 December 2006}}
In response to the report of Chongqing Morning Post, Kubin said it misrepresented his words.{{cite web|publisher=Deutsche Welle|title=Kubin: This newspaper in Chongqing has twisted my words|url=https://www.dw.com/zh/%E9%A1%BE%E5%BD%AC%E9%87%8D%E5%BA%86%E6%8A%A5%E7%BA%B8%E6%AD%AA%E6%9B%B2%E4%BA%86%E6%88%91%E7%9A%84%E8%AF%9D/a-2270081|date=12 December 2006}} 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. The phenomenon of creating fake news "must not be left to nothing."{{cite web|publisher=Deutsche Welle|title=A Few Highlights of "Kubin Incident"|url=https://www.dw.com/zh/%E8%AF%95%E6%8E%A2%E9%A1%BE%E5%BD%AC%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6%E7%9A%84%E5%87%A0%E4%B8%AA%E7%9C%8B%E7%82%B9/a-2290118|date=24 December 2006}}
