Weird. There’s a lot of anti China stories circulating this week. Like maybe they are trying to influence public opinion.
SINOPHOBIA!!!
There’s a big world with a lot of news. Why focus on China?
Thankfully there isn’t a daily quota of news, and I assure you as a newswire Reuters is reporting on just about all of it
Thanks for the tips
They're only a global superpower that is constantly causing problems for everyone around it, no big deal or anything. Definitely not newsworthy at all, no.
Aspiring superpower, really. They don't quite check all the boxes yet -- particularly when it comes to force projection.
There’s a war in Sudan, no big deal.
It's possible to report on two things at once. In fact Reuters reports on many different things at once
I work for Reuters
Reuters reports on that too

Post that to !politics.
haha yeah or maybe China is an imperialist military dictatorship.
Imperialist??? I think the projection is coming from within the house (the white one)
Good on ya, assuming I'm American (I'm not). Also, classic use of US bad, therefore Russia/China good. Two countries can be overmilitarized imperialists at the same time.
Don't do shitty things and there won't be coverage lmao
Shitty things like... Flying within China's ADIZ that happens to overlap with Taiwan's ADIZ because Taiwan refuses to use the median line as their ADIZ boundary like China does?
Free Taiwan
Sure, but violating ADIZ is a non-issue. There are other, more important things to worry about.
I find it more weird you brought that up honestly. News is News, post something else if you want more variety, nobody is stopping you.
Tankie says what?
Hi, you should come back and look at the rest of the comments on this post. Apparently all of hexbear.net is pro-China
They can't see the hexbears because lemmy.world preemptively defederated with them before they joined the lemmyverse.
Ah I almost forgot that. I wish my instance defederate from them too
I bet you do after that dunking, bubbleboy.
Just so you know, when you insult someone like that without explanation. You push them away from your position. I will now make it my mission to learn everything I can about tankies to prove you wrong. 😃
Ok tankie
Ok Fascist
You're defending a dictatorship that pretends to be communist. China is closer to fascism than most of the world. Which you'd understand, if you weren't a fucking tankie.
I’m not defending China, or Russia, or America. I’m just looking at media with a clear perspective. Which you would understand, if you had a skeptical mind.
I'm skeptical of you having more than like 4 working braincells.
You may be right about me. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong about this.

What do you think the truth is, bro?
Capitalism and the neoliberalism that supports the aristocratic hierarchy funneling wealth from developing nations is destroying the world. But go ahead, focus on China while the housing crisis and inflation fuels fascism inside western countries destroying them from the inside.
China discovered that Lemmy exists and sent their bots here, it's so obvious! No thinking person would ever doubt Western media!!!111
(Not saying that one empire is better than the other, yadda yadda)
Yep, I’m a bot. Don’t think for myself at all. Just an NPC. How ‘bout we stop empiring?
ok tankie
Haha. You don’t even know what that means. Please, let’s discuss dialectic materialism for the masses. Revel in your ignorance.
There's been both "China Best" and China being shady posts. We'll never know for sure in this age of fake information. Might be that they're trying to follow the Russia model.
Or maybe its because china is china... lol
Theres also more heat wave/clinate related news in the summer than in the spring
