Yeah, for all the hate in the comments here, the article brings up points like those that I've seen discussed on sites like Sixth Tone which is sponsored by the CPC. The article isn't riddled with heavy handed anti-Chinese or anti-communist rhetoric. It quotes articles from Xinhua and studies done by official outlets in China.
As far as an article from a western news site goes, this one passes my filter. I make no claims about The Economist in general.
