      There is literally no link I could have found that would not have triggered your criticism. There is literally no Western media outlet that would not be labeled “empire-sanctioned” by you.

        The PBS articles only source seems to be the American government, that seems very much “empire sanctioned”.

        The other one has a little more diversity, it cites the American government, national defense think tank analysts, and a company who’s primary customer seems to be the American government.

        Would you trust an article exclusively citing oil companies, their associated think tanks, and companies that they are closely linked with money-wise?

        On a tour in late September sponsored by Beijing, the 22 journalists from 17 countries visited bazaars [in Xinjiang] and chatted with residents over dates and watermelon slices. They later told state media they were impressed with the bustling economy, described the region as “full of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity,” and denounced what they said were lies by Western media.

        The trip is an example of what Washington sees as Beijing’s growing efforts to reshape the global narrative on China. It’s spending billions of dollars annually to do so.

        In a first-of-its-kind report, the State Department last week laid out Beijing’s tactics and techniques for molding public opinion, such as buying content, creating fake personas to spread its message and using repression to quash unfavorable accounts.

        You are deeply unserious. Even the lack of evidence is clandestine by your thinking.
