I swear I saw a post on Lemmy about Wikipedia blocking access from Mainland Chinese IPs claiming protection from abuse. I tried searching for it but couldn’t find it. Anyone else know what I’m talking about? Or was it just a fever dream of my own creation?

There is consensus that Bellingcat is generally reliable for news and should preferably be used with attribution.

China Global Television Network was deprecated in the 2020 RfC for publishing false or fabricated information. Many editors consider CGTN a propaganda outlet, and some editors express concern over CGTN’s airing of forced confessions.

The Grayzone was deprecated in the 2020 RfC. There is consensus that The Grayzone publishes false or fabricated information. Some editors describe The Grayzone as Max Blumenthal’s blog, and question the website’s editorial oversight.

Radio Free Asia can be generally considered a reliable source. In particularly geopolitically-charged areas, attribution of its point of view and funding by the U.S. government may be appropriate. Per the result of a 2021 RfC, editors have established that there is little reason to think RFA demonstrates some systematic inaccuracy, unreliability, or level of government co-option that precludes its use.
