The fundamental point that you seem to be missing is that the Chinese Government refused access to the media. If the Government was so sure of the rightness of its case then surely the sensible thing to do would be to allow the media free access to see for themselves? The fact that the Chinese Government's knee-jerk reaction is to hide everything and control information to the greatest extent possible (even when this does major harm to their image in the rest of the world) is the biggest barrier to better mutual understanding here.
In truly free and open societies the government does not restrict the people's access to the media: it puts its case through the media and allows the people to see for themselves who is right.
