the headline on this article is really an egregious example of the negative impact of sub-editors on journalism. The implication is that China is sending up LEO satellites in order to suppress Starlink, when the article says nothing of the sort, rather that the intent was to create a rival system and not have Starlink dominate the (literally) space and therefore the market. But hey, China bad gets clicks and upvotes
- T-A 4y ago> hey, China bad gets clicks and upvotes You do realize that the South China Morning Post is a Chinese paper, right? (Yes it's officially headquartered in Hong Kong, but the distinction is moot after 2020. Besides, it's been owned by Alibaba since 2015.)
- hunglee2 4y agoYes and do you realise that not everything that is Chinese is 'a mouthpiece of the CCP'
- T-A 4y agoLiterally everything? Obviously not. Mass media? Definitely, or they go the way of Apple Daily and the Stand News. But hey, don't listen to me, just head over to Reporters without borders and see what they have to say about it: https://rsf.org/en/country/china https://rsf.org/en/country/china The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the world's largest prison for journalists, and its regime conducts a campaign of repression against journalism and the right to information worldwide.
