Oh I will, but he is nevertheless right, when he warns of propaganda, right?

I mean, he forgot to include the chinese media as possible biased towards china, but I read it like he is also very aware of that fact.



Kind of. Likening Falun Gong v. China to USA v. Russia is misleading. Nation state conflicts are usually pretty mutli-dimensional. Economy, geopolitics, ideology, religion etc. The strife between the Falun Gong and China is limited to the issue of systematic murder and opression of their followers. Furthermore the characterization of Falun Gong as a well defined organization with concrete political or ideological goals is in-line with CCP propaganda.

Say somebody calls out a Jewish publication for having an anti-Nazi stance. Surely, it's likely to be true at face value. Yet it's hard not to notice the insidiousness.

Unless sabalaba is willing to damage their business interest, their only choice is to remain silent or take a stance the CCP doesn't mind.
