I said these sources have an agenda. The article is literally just asking questions from a biased direction. The actual thing that is happening is that the cpc is not letting foreign journalists into a disaster area and is controlling the messaging about the disaster.

The people quoted are making vague implications about how nefarious that is. That's nonsense especially considering their background. The article exists to make you think spooky China is oppressing free speech or something.

    It's not just that these sources are unreliable. It's that they are stating vague questions about Chinese censorship with an obvious agenda.

    What would the Chinese government have to gain by censoring the extent of the disaster? What is dissatisfying about the governments statements and information around the disaster? This very article is evidence as to why the government doesn't want foreign journalists in the disaster recovery area.

    Wow someone from a hong kong Baptist University and someone from Taiwan saying the cpc is censoring information

    It's astonishing that people buy this but I guess I shouldn't be.
