      The top ones are not, and the only ones that are earnest are either asking questions or making pretty unassuming criticisms of the situation, not full-on propagandizing lol. The original source of the article in your link is also pretty pro-China so I don't know why you aren't just looking into things yourself

        This thread is rapidly devolving, but SCMP is a privately owned HK newspaper and is not Chinese State Media or even (IIRC) really pro-China. It's owned by Alibaba.

        Again, I don't know about this specific article's subject and I'm not saying anything about it in particular here.

            I'm not replying to your comments, just the notion that SCMP is a pro-China paper. I thought it was a point worth making (more politely).

            I'm specifically not getting involved in the overarching conversation here because it's a shit-show. Please continue the argument without me.

          It's literally owned by Alibaba, and western media is constantly whining about it being propaganda lmao. If your bar for "pro-china" is limited to exclusively state-owned media then sure, except it's about one step away anyways.

            I don't base my conceptions of the world on Westerners because I'm not a fucking idiot. It's a Hong Kong-based newspaper that constantly posts anti-China shit. You don't live in reality.
