Kind of OT, but the media outlet that published this article kind of gave me a weird vibe. Then I looked it up, and apparently it's a CCP-approved, strictly censored news organization[1], like most other news sources based in China.
Really don't want to get into details, but some articles[2] don't even acknowledge all viewpoints, which makes it clear that there's some censorship going on behind the scenes.
Despite that, I have to agree the OP is definitely interesting and relevant to HN.
