        There’s a reason why we don’t trust anything western media says about China.

          Because it's potentially biased. That doesn't mean that everything that comes from Chinese media is 100% true and factual as a consequence, nor does it mean everything western media says about China is incorrect. Just because an official narrative may be suspect, does not automatically make any other narrative counter to it valid. You have to discern more carefully what you accept as true or plausible, and get out of this binary thought pattern where anything that postures itself as counter to the bad official story automatically is given more weight. Because if you are not careful you will find yourself becoming disconnected from reality. Don't automatically trust or believe any source outright.
