Without commenting on the validity of the article, it is true that the data in circulation about China in the West is highly distorted due to barriers in language, culture and the internet. While this does not mean that China would necessarily be any less "evil" than it seems to be, details can rarely be trusted.

Do you think it's distorted because of that, or because of America's agenda against China itself? Seems like an easy and convenient way to sow distrust and hate, no? On the other hand, if what is reported is true, then more power to her.

Well we always find out the mainstream news coverage is either fake, distorted or falsehoods by omission post-mortem (pun intended). Reminds me of Brezinski setting up the "Afghan trap" for the Soviets (his own words) and then the Carter administration boycotting the Moscow Olympics. History and the boycotting play just seems to rhyme awfully well: Our hope instead was to prolong the war, keeping the Soviets bogged down in Afghanistan. Zbigniew Brzezinski is quite open about this. In the same 1997 interview, he speaks of “drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap.” He claims: “The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: ‘We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War.’” https://www.ellsworthamerican.com/opinions/commentary/commentary-the-war-in-afghanistan-began-much-earlier/ https://www.ellsworthamerican.com/opinions/commentary/commen... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Summer_Olympics_boycott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Summer_Olympics_boycott https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2021/11/24/heres-the-growing-list-of-countries-weighing-a-diplomatic-boycott-of-the-beijing-olympics/?sh=417d431b6ad9 https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2021/11/24/heres-the-...
