Amusingly enough back when I was still active editing on Wikipedia, there was a lot of trouble related to sourcing articles. Because the media in PRC itself is restricted, you have very less sources you can trust. You can't source content from sources like GT but do you trust CGTN, Xinhua? Eventually, you have to because if you don't you would be left with very less coverage and one from a western perspective even if Xinhua probably doesn't have the credibility/reputation of say BBC.

> You can't source content from sources like GT but do you trust CGTN, Xinhua? Interestingly enough, there were some official Wikipedia decisions on that very topic recently: CGTN and Global Times were given the lowest ranking short of being spam-blacklisted, and the consensus was Xinhua can't be trusted as a source where the PRC government would have a conflict of interest, but it can be used for more mundane coverage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Xinhua_News_Agency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#China_Global_Television_Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Global_Times https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per...
