If your looking for something which requires minimal investment in language and culture learning, Chinese news companies put out media for English speakers. For 99 percent of people this is the best way for them to get a grasp on things because everything else will involve integrating into the culture enough to follow debates which your not going to do if your not already.
Understand that everything you read will be heavily biased in favor of China the same way the US is biased for its own interests. Without knowing Chinese you are always going through an interpreter so cutting out middlemen is your best option. Also remember the racist/dumb/stupid/incompetent parts of Chinese media will not be translated for you to understand and there are a loooot of them.
