They support actual US propaganda more than they support well-trusted international news agencies like Associated Press and SCMP.

They've taken down Associated Press articles for "missinformation" and SCMP articles for "propaganda." Yet, RFA/RFERL articles are perfectly fine.

Looking at the modlog, they also remove any comments that discuss their removal policy.

The US has been producing more electricity from fossil fuel sources than ever before and uses accounting tricks to claim that consumption is more from renewables.

Plot the total energy produced from fossil fuels on an absolute scale. It's been growing rapidly YoY.

by policy, China makes it extremely hostile for non-ethnic Chinese groups to immigrate to China. If you're Han, Manchu, Hui, etc. it's not too hard, but if you're white you might as well give up.

In fact, emigration from China has slowed in the past decade. QoL in China has gone up as it has gone down in the rest of the world, and the promise of better economic opportunities only materializes itself in tier-1 US cities like New York and San Francisco.
