on the other hand, I’m not prepared to trust Chinese media sources fully either,
You know, I see this sentiment a lot, but I've never actually seen anyone rely on Chinese state sources to make claims about China.
Whenever I see anti-China narratives dismissed, the evidence always rests on other Western sources, international sources, holes in the Western narratives, or a lack of credibility of the Western sources.

/r/Sino does it periodically.

tbf thats a tiny tiny tiny subreddit doing it occasionally, but you are correct lots of CGTN stuff especially and even some more nefarious shit,
but lets compare that to literally any other space on the internet simping for BBC and NPR and taking that shit as absolute truth, hell RFA is treated more seriously than chinese media on that shithole of a website
Eh. /r/Sino is fine. It's Teen Vogue for Chinese Nationalists, but "Check out this Uighur rapper and this tourism video of Xianjing and all these cool new gadgets Chinese manufacturers are releasing" is a nice change of pace from "Tianeman Square any day now" reposts on /r/worldnews.

There's a lot of that, too, certainly.

r/Sino and r/China are so hilarious
r/Sino had a post on the frontpage that said „If China is racist against Uyghurs how come there’s an Uyghur rapper in the charts??“
r/China had top comments that said „Fuck the CCP I hope US invades and liberates this country“
I have seen a lot of useless subs and these 2 are in the top 5
