It seems to have started with the Bloomberg story, which is still to be proven, and has escalated since. There was the Huawei story, the social credit system story etc. I suspect it has something to do with the media being fed stories to boost U.S. position in the trade war. They're probably gushing themselves over getting such 'exclusive' pieces, while it's all per-planned. It's not even far fetched, as that's exactly what happened prior to the invasion of Iraq, but if it indeed is the case, it would be a huge irony, given that we often, (correctly), point out how much control the CCP has over the press.
