SCMP is the largest English language newspaper in Asia and has been around for a long time. It is not Chinese propaganda in any meaningful sense. But I will give you the two videos look a bit cheesy but hey ... taste varies across the world

The telecommunications industry goes from a massive bubble in year 2000 to an extreme cost focus just one or two years later. Sending tens of thousands of engineers into unemployment and cutting research and development to the bone. Talk to
