And?
- xvector 8y agoThey can’t be trusted? Chinese news is a farce.
- alanwong 8y agoOP and an editor of Inkstone here. Surely I don't think what we do is farcical. Happy to answer any questions you have of our work.
- xvector 8y agoHow much leeway do you have to discuss and publicize incidents like the Tienamen Square massacre and other atrocities that the Chinese government has generally made an effort to scrub from the internet?
- alanwong 8y agoWe're a Hong Kong-based media organization, meaning no government, Chinese or not, dictates to us what we can or cannot report on. Our website is blocked in China. We do not censor our content and have reported on Tiananmen. For example: did you know that China just sentenced several men who put the image of the Tank Man on baijiu (a kind of hard liquor) bottles as a form of protest? https://www.inkstonenews.com/politics/activists-who-put-tank-man-baijiu-bottles-given-suspended-sentences/article/3004476 https://www.inkstonenews.com/politics/activists-who-put-tank...
- slackfan 8y agoDon't have to be farcical to have an agenda.
- bilbo0s 8y agoIn fairness, so is most other "news". But yeah, I certainly wouldn't trust Chinese news any more than FOX or whatever. Pretty much all of it's propaganda these days.
