The question that comes to my mind is: So? Does this really do any harm? Sure, it may spread the positions of Chinese diplomats more broadly than they would naturally be shared, but it doesn't change the ability and responsibility of readers to evaluate the truth and value of what they read. We act like people are incapable of thinking for themselves, like they must at all costs be prevented from seeing something that might be untrue or not to their benefit.
