This is an interesting development in relations with China, let's see what the free Western press is reporting!

Oh... Ok then.

That’s not the BBC, that’s BBC Manchester, or in other term, local news. They aren’t going to be writing articles on geopolitical tensions and China.

But do you think that Chinese news doesn’t do human interest or lighthearted articles?

Wouldn’t a better representation be a link to the front page? A random article about a person taking care of a hat bobble in Cheshire (while hilarious and did make me giggle), isn’t really breaking news international news.

I was just poking fun :)

Oh lmao, it just threw me for a loop because I was not expected a headline of “Woman thinks hat bobble is hedgehog” lmaoo

Sorry about that
