On 28 February, China Digital Times reported that a food delivery workers’ mutual aid network organiser (Xiong Yan, also known as Chen Ping) might have been taken into police custody in Beijing. On 1 March, an informant from within the Ele.me, the online platform from which Xiong Yan gets his delivery orders, confirmed that he and some other members of his network were indeed arrested. At the time of writing, Xiong Yan’s whereabouts and status remain unknown, and speculation abounds.

    I live and study in China. Of course there are legitimate criticisms to be made, China is not perfect, no country is. But the wording of your post gives me weird vibes: "not everything that isn’t pro-CPC is CIA".

    Yes, of course not everything that isn't pro-CPC is CIA, but that doesn't make Western propaganda more true. It's like you are trying to make the point that we should be trusting of the negative things we read about China, when most of the time they are lies, and there is clearly an open war/fabrication of consent/smear campaign against the country.

    If your point is that China is not a perfect socialist state, and has many contradictions due his hybrid system, then I think most of us are already aware of this, no one is so delusional to think China is perfect.
