Huawei reports second straight quarterly decline in sales as US sanctions hits

So Wikipedia has this to say about scmp.com... I'm curious what other people think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Morning_Post The SCMP was owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation until it was acquired by Malaysian real estate tycoon Robert Kuok in 1993.[3] On 5 April 2016, Alibaba Group acquired the media properties of the SCMP Group, including the SCMP.[2][7] In January 2017, former Digg CEO Gary Liu became the SCMP's chief executive officer.[8] Since the change of ownership in 2016, it has been alleged to be on a mission to promote China's soft power abroad.[9] According to critics, it is moving away from independent journalism and pioneering a new form of "propaganda".[9] (Sorry about the poor formatting...)

  Do you think their reporting on Huawei's drop in sales is promoting China's soft power? If anything, it shows that the US sanctions work.

    Honestly I don't know. I posted my comment because I've seen more and more scmp.com posts recently, and I wanted to hopefully hear more opinions about scmp.com before I trust it unabashedly...

      Personally, I think SCMP is one of the best English-language news sources reporting on events in China, mostly because that's their main focus and not just a subsection of global news, so their reporters are more likely to have some idea of what they're writing about. They're also good at separating news from opinion. Their opinion section covers a wide spectrum of voices, from Western hawks to Chinese nationalists, but their news reporting is more down-to-earth. You can also compare this article to the much more obvious spin the Global Times puts on the story: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202104/1222364.shtml https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202104/1222364.shtml

  In my opinion SCMP is the best English language news source on all things Asia. It genereally has good tech coverage. It also has been around for ages. I consider it has trustworthy as NY Times, BBC and a few others.
