In China, media is supposed to serve the interests of the Communist party, (or to just simply entertain). It’s has nothing to do with revealing facts that the govt doesnt like, as it so often does in the West.
I often wonder what people in the Chinese media/govt think when they see Western media with scathing revelations that attack the US government or reveal secrets that the US state wants kept quiet. I see it as a necessary sign of strength of Western democracies. It’s counter intuitive but I guess they do not see it the same way.
