I think it is very hard to get a "detached analysis". For politic issues like this, it is inevitable that everything you read will be both incomprehensive and biased, and filled with propaganda. Probably you can find a "detached analysis" 50 years later, but not now.
That said, if you can read Chinese, I found Taiwan's monthly "mainland report" interesting to read [1]. Of course it is far from a detached analysis, but it's not very polarized (imo) and it contains interesting information.

- anm89 5y agoYeah fair enough. I mean I agree nothing is truly neutral. I tend to like geopolitical analysis that comes out of the financial space because I feel like at least the game they are playing isn't primarily politics and they have a greater degree of motivation to make objectively correct predictions regarding where things are heading. I unfortunately cannot read Chinese but I'll try to throw it through a translator.
- sillycross 5y agoWell, in that case, the language barrier is already putting you behind a selective information filter. I'm not trying to convince you (in fact, I'll be happy if you could point out why I'm wrong), but I do not pay much attention to those political world news or trying to understand them. IMO every piece of news I see has undergone many biased selective filters that serve many parties' interests. By reading those news I just get trained by the propaganda, instead of learning anything objective.
