Like I said, US is a perfect example of hypocrisy, but their hypocrisy doesn't automatically absolve China of its own actions. I don't justify US, it's you who are trying to justify China's actions.
I welcome any non-English source. Though if it's never posted in English, it kind of defeats the purpose of exposing English-speaking countries bad behavior.
I don't care about the source, I care about the content. There are plenty of bad articles by reputable sources, and there are plenty of good articles by garbage sources.
And all countries release propaganda. Literally all of them, it's their job. The core issue here is that Western propaganda is mostly influenced by corporations, since governments doesn't directly control the media. While in Asia, the government mostly owns the media. That doesn't automatically make it everything they release bad, but when they disallow negative coverage, it creates a negative impression. And there are plenty of independent media organizations that report on their own countries crimes in the west. Their influence stops at corporate media. While in contrast, there are no independent media organizations that report on Asia's crimes.
Embassy's authority only extends to their embassy grounds. The moment, they step outside, they are subject to the countries laws, where forcibly moving a person against their will is illegal. If there is a legal justification for it, it has to go through those countries legal system.
