So, in your view:
1. what's the real story about what's going on in China that's being missed in "untruthful" articles like this, and
2. who's reporting that story "truthfully"?
- yesforwhat 8y agoI also would like to hear answers to these questions, but I suspect OP is another ethno-nationalist that perceives grievance against them for any and all actions. The number one take away I have from interactions with all too many Chinese nationals, unfortunately.

I know some Chinese nationals who report that their culture is to defend the in-group against criticisms in front of an out-group even if they themselves think the criticisms are true. To not do so is a kind of betrayal. This applies to groups as small as a family up to the whole country. For instance, that cultural attitude were at least part of the fuel for this controversy: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40013486 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40013486 It does make it difficult to have open conversations about many topics until you're pretty close.
