    Neither of the articles you linked seem to be critical of the Chinese government at all.

      I disagree on the first one, I’ll grant you the second is about north korea, an important ally, but even if they aren’t outright hardline stance negative if I was running a pro china propaganda mill why even acknowledge these things?

      even if I feel pressure to acknowledge, why the front page?

      there’s this

        They would be pretty terrible at their jobs if anyone could immediately tell it’s a propaganda site. They know what they’re doing. They’re good at it, your case proves it.

        Show me a single article where they criticise the government on serious issues, and not just parroting what other outlets are reporting to make them appear legitimate.

        If they didn’t report on these, plenty of other outlets would. Reporting everything themselves, good and bad, allows them to control the narrative more and infuse articles with just enough propaganda.

        The best propaganda is the one you don’t realise is propaganda.

          They wouldn’t put it on the front page, no?

          https://www.scmp.com/video/hong-kong/2126479/what-does-it-feel-be-sexual-minority-hong-kong

          what about this?

          can’t that statement be used to claim any site is a propaganda mill and should be discarded? Couldn’t I do that to throw out the bbc?

          edit: also this https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3334442/chinas-lgbtq-community-loses-safe-spaces-blued-finka-apps-vanish

            What about it?

            What statement?

            Please be specific.

            Yes, the western big media is controlled by billionaires and serves their “propaganda”. Whereas Chinese media and propaganda is controlled by the government.

              I want to know how it is determined whether something is a propaganda mill

              there’s also this clearly negative one https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3334442/chinas-lgbtq-community-loses-safe-spaces-blued-finka-apps-vanish

              how is it known? What evidence is there? I did not have much trouble finding negative articles. What is the basis of this claim?
