"චීනුන්" වෙනුවට චීන ජාතිකයන්?

Abstract

On 26 September 2024, Dinamina newspaper reported on a case involving a group of Chinese nationals and a Vietnamese national charged with fraudulently withdrawing funds from bank accounts. The headline used the derogatory term "චීනුන්" (Cheenun), while the article itself used the correct term "චීන ජාතිකයන්" (Chinese nationals). Media outlets are advised to avoid derogatory language, particularly in negative contexts, as it can marginalise foreign nationals.
