Fu Ying has denied she will pull out of Sunday's totch relay
China has denied its ambassador will pull out of the Olympic torch relay through London on Sunday. It had been reported by the BBC yesterday that Fu Ying (傅莹) would withdraw, with protests planned over the Chinese government's treatment of Tibetan demonstrators. But the Chinese embassy in London now says the ambassador has "no intention" of pulling out of the event. A statement from the Chinese embassy said, "There has never been a view expressed from the Chinese embassy at any point that the ambassador is pulling out of the torch relay. She did not say so herself either."
The news of Fu Ying’s apparent withdrawal was widely reported on the BBC and on Channel Four News. However, the BBC reported the correction by late Thursday night BBC].
