Odaily Planet Daily News Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) responded to the recent report of the Wall Street Journal on his participation in the World Liberty Financial project on the X platform, saying that it was not a real interview, but a "malicious fabrication under the guise of asking questions", questioning whether it has become a "mouthpiece for negative narratives". Zhao Changpeng quoted the "Cunningham Law" and pointed out that the WSJ violated the professional spirit of journalism by constructing a false narrative to induce clarification. He emphasized that the inquiries submitted by the WSJ in advance were full of "errors and negative assumptions", such as accusing it of "matchmaking" for the WLF team and arranging a meeting with Pakistani official Saqib, while the fact was that he met Saqib for the first time in Pakistan and had never been involved in any international itinerary of WLF. He bluntly said, "When the report starts from a negative standpoint, the so-called 'error correction' is meaningless because the whole story itself is fictional." He also believed that the incident reflected "some forces in the United States attempting to suppress the development of the encryption industry, targeting global encryption leaders and government positions that support encryption."
