This just reads like a bait and switch. NPR just went “holy shit le ebil CCP is disappearing people overseas with this huge state apparatus on foreign land and they even make threats to other countries’ airports and public buildings! Oh nah nevermind, but they’re still evil OK?”. One paper didn’t even retract it’s bullshit after it came out false.
Never pass up an opportunity to make propaganda about the state’s enemies.
same with the spy balloon narrative. pentagon said it wasn’t a spy balloon and in the article covering it the headline literally still said spy balloon

That’s fair, it’s definitely still NPR. I thought the depth of the scam revealed by the end was pretty interesting.
