Obviously Western media is a fuck, and their silence regarding Donziger is appalling. But, I mean, I don’t think we should downplay the sexual abuse perpetrated by people in power by saying those those call them out are “irrelevant”.
The Chinese government coming out and investigating the accusations and openly supporting the player would be the morally correct move.

It's entirely irrelevant to the NYT and their audience. Same as the alleged Uighur bullshit.
This is not a judgment about sexual abuse. It's a judgment about topics in foreign countries and why they are (or are not) amplified by western media.
What China does or doesn't do is beyond my control or ability to influence. There is no need for me to have any comment on it. The same applies to the NYT.
What IS within our ability to influence is what our government does, what actions our elected representatives take, which in turn can have a direct effect on the Donziger matter. We can influence that and we should.
I mean, you said that the NYT shouldn't comment on it. All corporate media is biased and will report what they want to report. Unfortunately it is also how people in the west get their news.
Saying that NYT shouldn't comment is essentially saying that it shouldn't be reported on.
I know thatight be a stretch on what you meant - but I don't see there being a different implementation in practice.
If the threshold of what should be reported, then, is what we can have an effect on, then that limits reporting to local news only.
The accusations should be reported on in at least three categories - Foreign/International, Sports, and MeToo/Feminism. If that justifies its placement on the front/home page is debatable. Oh and if the newspaper/magazine has a dedicated China section (separate from just Foreign/International) then the story can be published there as well.
She literally asked for her privacy to be respected you absolute creepy stalker, because she never presented criminal allegations either (you would have known if you stopped reading literal regime propaganda). Respect her rights.
The original never mentions sexual abuse, it was invented by the nyt, who has a long history of making up bullshit through alleged "translations". Like it usually happens with some sketchy users on sites controlled by anglos, you will have accounts spreading disinformation.

I don't think the concept of "if I can't directly change something I shouldn't even know about it" is worth following.
I'm not sure where it came from but it's widespread here.
I think that's counterproductive in that how is one supposed to work toward internationalism when you want to cut yourself off from foreign news?
Anyway, we should all effect change at home where we can have an effect - but this sentiment of wanting ignorance in foreign matters is pretty lazy.
P sure I didn't say this though. I did say there's no need for me to comment on it.
NYT don't need to comment, either. They need to clean their own house but they'd rather beat the war drums.

At least that's how I read your post.
The NYT lies, comrade.
Yes, but that's not the point
I don't think OP asked to be ignorant? Just that the NYT's priorities are fucked.
If the NYT would just clean their room that would be a first step to better reporting
electoralism
What matters is that an American leftist can read a dubious article and form an opinion about it.
I can understand your sentiment.
The accusations should be reported on in at least three categories - Foreign/International, Sports, and MeToo/Feminism. If that justifies its placement on the front/home page is debatable.

They can agitate passionately for Donziger first. Until then, this is just CIA bullshit. Fuck the NYT.
You're not wrong but, see above.
She literally asked for her privacy to be respected you absolute creepy stalker, because she never presented criminal allegations either (you would have known if you stopped reading literal regime propaganda). Respect her rights.
