The BBC is merely a news agency, publishing articles for you to read. In an article like this they can't be considered hypocritical, which is what your comment seems to suggest. It's not an editorial, nor an accusation.
Quote from the article:
> Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.
The study that the article talks about was published by Princeton University (in NJ). But even if it were published by Tsinghua University it would be no less valid. [Economic] science is science.
