Can't read the article behind a paywall, but this is China's side of the story: https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/t1757162.shtml https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/t1... Seems this is part of an ongoing diplomatic spat. EDIT: FYI, couldn't read the article due to a paywall, did a search, found out some about the history. Thought this added information to the conversation. Yes, this is clearly propaganda, but I still thought it was interesting. You're all of age, you can read this sort of propaganda without being harmed.

Its curious that you are being down-voted. Almost as if the folks here are not interested in hearing the other side of this story.

  One "side" of the story: literal government propaganda Other "side" of the story: journalists from world-renowned publications expelled Totally see your point...

    I think you made an error in saying those Chinese journalists are world-renowned. Certainly not peddling as many bald-faced lies as US journalism, but they certainly also qualify as propaganda?

    You should start learning how the world works. First step get out of your cocoon.

  Many people have been conditioned by politics to look at the other side of the story as "propaganda", as if a lot of what we read in major newspapers isn't also full of propaganda...

  I was in Cuba for a couple weeks at the beginning of January. Our tour included a visit to the Bay of Pigs Invasion Museum which was pretty interesting. They didn't really have a reason to spin who won, but the ideology behind the conflict was vastly different than what I had learned in a US school. I've been convinced for a few years (and I'm older than most here), that we really need to do a lot more to understand both sides of any situation. We probably still won't agree but it will cut down on the unconditional dismissal of alternate opinions. At a minimum we might learn something.
