Interesting, Chinese IT companies have long been controlling the media, basically corralling "reporters and self-media operators" into private chat groups administered by their staff, therefore excluding outsiders and naysayers, effectively forestall most negative coverage.
Also they don't have quite as many insider leaks.
Cellphone companies like Huawei and Xiaomi would give these people test units and guidelines about how to write articles. You can hardly see candid reviews, a lot of them just do shit-tier translation of TheVerge and other English sites(not sure authorized or not).

- cauldron 8y agoChinese tech media basically rely on it. The "self-media" cottage industry that Wechat and Toutiao (by TikTok parent company ByteDance) created, is of 99.99% garbage, but they know what content their users want and like to see, boasts "give me a pic and I can spin it into a hit story", they basically provided a heaven platform for sensationalists and hustlers like this guy. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/18/us/fake-news-hillary-clinton-cameron-harris.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/18/us/fake-news-hillary-clin...
