To complete the circle, however, Al Jazeera's China related journalism is excellent. And generally they seem to push the envelope in what they cover. And for their home turf, would you like to suggest a better source for middle-east related news?

I'm a huge fan of Al Jazeera for some issues in the Middle East, but I think the best all-round news source for the region is Middle East Eye[1]. Their journalists have a no holds barred approach to sensitive topics in the region. [1]: http://www.middleeasteye.net/ http://www.middleeasteye.net/

  I've never heard of Middle East Eye, but I'm always looking out for more sources of news so thanks for the link. Do you happen to have any specific articles handy, or general topics, that you feel they covered better than other news sources?

    Their best coverage is on topics related to the Gulf states. In particular, the arrests of human rights activists [1], the inner workings of the Gulf monarchies [2,3,4,5], and other similar topics which are rarely if ever covered by other news agencies, let alone state news agencies in the Gulf. I've only linked a sample of articles I could remember off the top of my head. Their archive has many more articles on similar topics.
