The title is my question. Although I am not very sceptical of news coming from the news sources I mentioned, like CGTN, I still think it would be important for me to have pretty strong reasons for convincing my liberal friends to read articles by CGTN to debunk a few myths they have on China.

    Is CGTN owned (alongside other Chinese networks) by a few billionaires? That would be one major differentiating factor.

      True.

      Sadly, same argument can be made for the BBC.

        The BBC is run by the British government which is in it of itself run by a few billionaires 🤷‍♂️

          And if you go that far, they will say the same about china, and dare you to prove otherwise.

            The ruling party in China has over 90 million members, said party also has over 80% approval rating. Anyone who argues China is being controlled by a few billionaires is delusional or straight up denying reality.

              95.5%

              And they are set to pass 100M in a few years, as they have at least 10 million youth league soon to graduate.
