> [@XT](#): > > CNN China gets me: CNN publish multiple stories on China each day, and the newest of the articles in your list is 2 weeks old. So you went cherry-picking. …which is fine, I did challenge you to find any example of whitewashing. I just want it to be clear for people who are joining this discussion that “CNN China gets me” is a little misleading. These are not a slice of what one would see at any particular time, and at least a couple are just reference info that would never have got anywhere near the main page anyway. Anyway, looking at your list, no I don’t see any particular whitewashing there. For example “10 moments that shaped China’s Communist Party” might sound a positive headline, but the content is of course about the Tiananmen square massacre, the disastrous great leap forward etc etc. “Xi Jinping is rewriting history…” is a fairly dispassionate description of Xi’s powergrab. I guess the author could have emphasized _this is a bad thing_, but I don’t see that the article particularly needed that. But it’s hardly glowing either. So no, I’m not seeing any sucking up in this list. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-do-you-consider-to-be-the-main-adversary-nation/920370)._
