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.
