Xinhua News? Complaining about propaganda, and then quoting a Xinhua article? You know that's CPC propaganda, right? Moreover what they say in English and in Chinese is often completely different?

Yes I know. You know Fox News is basically the same thing to the Republican party in the US right? Different sides of the same coin have conflicting arguments, I'm just saying I'm not surprised, and we shouldn't take what Fox News says as gospel when everyone else is saying something different.

Fox is not even close to being an official government news source like Xinhua is. They're not two sides of the same coin, not even the same currency, not even the same country.

The US media will never ever report anything positive about Trump because they hate his guts. You don't need to watch Fox, check anyone who does China business. China is shitting bricks. They're fucked. They need us, we don't need them.

I said the Republican party, not the government. But they're both narrative arms of huge branches of power. As is MSNBC and BBC and RT and so on. They're all very similar, just promoting different powers. Some allow more deviation from the approved narrative than others, but they're all quite similar in their ultimate goals.

You don't need to watch Fox, check anyone who does China business. China is shitting bricks. They're fucked. They need us, we don't need them.

Maybe, I'm not totally convinced yet though
