There's plenty of good worthwhile China struggle sessions to be had. Based purely on the title this seems to be one of the more cartoonish and unnecessary.
I think that's fair, but there's use as well to be had in attacking easy targets because it helps someone understand what a rag journals like the BBC are.
Okay so reading the article, the accusation is that China is reaching out to overseas families of Uyghurs and offering them money and front businesses in exchange for becoming spies against human rights agencies. The alchemy that goes into the headline is weak and abrupt. They don't even go as far as saying the official implied a threat to the family, just that this guy they interviewed inferred it.
I'm probably further towards the "China bad" spectrum over the Uyghur situation than most people on here and I just don't see why anyone should be especially upset or surprised by this even granting the factual claims in the article are all 100% true.
