    You really have nothing to say about ‘DRACONIAN APPROACH’ in literal bold with actual scare quotes? The centering of foreign capitalists in the discussion? Really comrade?

        Al Jezeera, SMTP, Hindustan Times, WHO, Times of India, Global News, WSWS. All but the latter are covering covid in China in the English language.

        Thanks for ignoring me twice about the very problematic language in the article.

          Literally all of them get their news from Reuters, AP etc. Often lifted directly, word for fucking word, with just a small citation at the bottom.

          Also, FUCKING LOL if think Hindustan Times or Times of India are any less anti-China than Western sources.

          The exceptions are things like WHO which isn't a fucking news source or outright socialist sources like WSWS which are better but cannot offer anywhere near the coverage that sources like Reuters provides. They often end up citing the same sources but add some commentary critiquing them.

            Can't we just post stuff like this in the future?

            More gems from the Reuters article:

            A move towards living with COVID in the medium-term would be difficult, said Singapore-based ING economist Rob Carnell.

            Literal English banker

            "Give me liberty or death," the bespectacled man told onlooking residents in an impassioned speech on Thursday, according to videos seen by Reuters.
