That's interesting. Can you recommend me some pro-China Western media? I am having trouble finding one.

  I should be more precise. I'm trying to say that much Western writing is not critical of the decisions the Chinese political system has made about how society is organized there, despite its costs for the country. (E.g., the fast building of roads, trains, and infrastructure; the responsiveness of its electronics industry -- these things have costs for the people of China, but their benefits are very unequally distributed.) I didn't mean to suggest that there is widespread Western cheerleading for China's political system, especially recently as Xi Jinpeng has consolidated power. What I was trying to capture is Western willingness to overlook the costs.

    On the contrary, I keep getting the sort of news that you are missing, on my daily dose of social media. Just yesterday, I got this: http://www.economist.com/news/china/21714383-and-theres-lot-more-come-it-waste-money-china-has-built-worlds-largest http://www.economist.com/news/china/21714383-and-theres-lot-... And plenty more critical of govt decisions (ghost city, pollution, food safety) from this particular Facebook page which is quite popular for news in China: https://www.facebook.com/shanghaiist/ https://www.facebook.com/shanghaiist/
