China’s a nation that seems to believe that they can use their government to make things better.

Isn't that what you pay taxes for?

But nowhere else on the planet invests as much money and effort into it as the US. $325 million a year on anti China propaganda alone:

You never saw that mentioned in the media did you? There is a reason for that:

It is one of the most important aspects of our media system, and yet hardly known to the public: most of the international news coverage in Western media is provided by only three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris.

The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording. In addition, governments, military and intelligence services use these global news agencies as multipliers to spread their messages around the world.

It's unclear how long Beijing would be open to such unfettered exchanges - control of the internet is key to its repressive regime.

Lol, "unfettered exchanges" have been going on via Chaturbate for some time ... A friend told me

A crowd sourced encyclopedia is only as trustworthy as the editors that control the page. I wouldn't trust wikipedia for anything to do with geopolitics or current affairs any more than I would trust any other mainstream media source.

Fifteen months of Israeli bombardment, cheered on by the US, Britain and Germany, leave conditions in Gaza ‘unimaginable’

There, I fixed their headline for them

This is how you wound up with trump in the first place. The unfettered irresponsibility of corporate media barons
