International sentiment generally negative about country actively committing genocide.

Jokes aside - yeah? Of course there's propaganda about China. I would wager its hard to find a big international power that doesn't have some level of propaganda being spread about it by the other big international powers. But between the propaganda you still find a bunch of real reasons to have negative views toward China's leadership and actions.
I read this ‘article’. There are zero references towards the so called ‘China Bashing’. If it is so rampant, how hard can it be to just link to a few mainstream offenders? It alludes towards a deliberate bashing, once again without any links or merit. I am fully aware that news is hardly unbiased but come on, this is ridiculous.
like, just off the top of my head there's that whole "spy balloon" thing.
A Chinese corporation openly tested those spy balloons over my country a decade ago (allegedly just for monitoring livestock), why is it so unbelievable that they'd use a more polished version on their biggest geopolitical rival?
Give me a source that shows the blatant and deliberate anti China rhetoric about the ‘spy balloon’.
Have you been following media recently or have you been living under a rock?
I have been following media intensively. I am not saying that news about China is unbiased in the western media. I am calling out the lack of any sources in this weak ‘article’
That’s not a defense. Opinion pieces can be fine, but if you’re claiming that something is off the charts you should probably have some charts (or any points of data) to prove the claim.
This article is prime "SelfAwareWolves" material...
Countering this in international media by offering more balanced views for a global audience is near impossible as censorship is rife. There almost seems to be a global compact to control the narrative, a propaganda war powered by today’s digital technology.
China: you can't talk bad about us!!!!
Just gonna drop an article about Naomi Wu, famous maker, as a counterpoint to all those who keep claiming free speech exists in China.

It's almost like if they want people to not hate their country they should stop being a corrupt authoritarian hellhole
to be clear: the "they" here is the chinese government rather than the chinese people, correct? your comment is a little ambiguous
Oh so like India and America, corrupt democratic hellholes?
Yes, exactly. Most people don't want their governments to copy imperialistic authoritarian capitalist shitholes like China, the USA, or Russia.
The American government being awful doesn't mean that everybody else should copy them and be as awful as they can.
China is the one county that could just tell Russia to get out of Ukraine. Same with North Korea. Just look at who they hang out with and you know quite a lot.
Why would they? The Global South is completely unaligned with the West on the Russia-Ukraine issue. It's an issue between Russia and the West, not a global issue.
Of course they would not. They have chosen to be aligned with Russia. This whole thing is a Russia / China thing.
It's a human rights issue. People like you and me are dying.
While it is true that insane propaganda is off the charts, for example in my own country Australia we're chaining ourselves to the fading star of the usa and the UK militarily despite having:
all while the usa government tries it's hardest to undermine our economic policy, erase our culture, and distort our politics towards their own demended lines.
There is zero evidence the chinese government does not want to do the same. They have interfered in our media, our education systems, there has been stupid petty trade squabbles with both "sides" using us for their own ends.
When chinese diplomats speak to our media, even in excruciatingly fair interviews, the pattern is the same slimey deny deny deny and legal quibble that usa diplomats engage in. Their media is insanely critical of Australian life too.
There are no good guys in this power struggle and looking for one is childish thinking.
Even this article refuses to address the notion that the chinese government has ever conducted itself in a condemnable manner.
McCarthyism's back yo! Or, rather, it never really left.
McCarthyism has changed because now the "communists" look different and talk different and aren't white.
Woke is the new Red I guess?
Thanks for the self-report. thediplomat filtered.
