In September 2016, the "Global Times" published an article, titled "Singapore's Delusional Reference to the South China Sea Arbitration During the Non-Aligned Movement Summit". Stanley Loh Ka Leung, then Singapore's ambassador to China, criticized the article to be fake news. Loh also asked the "Global Times" to publish in full, in both English and Chinese, a letter he wrote to the newspaper's editor-in-chief, Hu Xijin. Hu refuted the ambassador by saying that the "Global Times" reports were reliable and based on information from people who attended the meeting, without publishing the letter that Loh had requested to be published.
