    100% late stage capitalism. They just want that sweet ad revenue from sinophobic readers.

        And lol, sinophobic readers.

        I mean, yeah. NYT knows that a very big portion, maybe a majority, of their (mostly US) audience is either very resentful of China’s success, racist, or (most likely) has been roped into the US propaganda trap and think that China is literally evil and death incarnate, so an article condemning China is sure to both get tons of clicks and get in the sinophobe’s good books. Is there supporting evidence about what they’re writing? Who cares? They’re only about that ad/subscription revenue anyway since they’re a company after all.

        The NYT has some good reporting, like the Trump tax thing they uncovered, but I straight up wouldn’t trust them a bit when they’re reporting anything about China or other socialist countries.

    This is actually a well-written article. Short, simple, great opening, no grammar mistakes, well-organized in headings and images, cited hyperlinks with M/D/Y (should be Y/M/D, oh well) … Sad how we’ve been conditioned into reading awful writing over the years. I don’t understand how NYT maintains its image of quality when so many of their writers have a fetish for becoming the Next American Author, which drags would-be 500 word articles into 1200.
