Indeed. A repository of sourced facts that happens to be banned in China.
Of course I understand the difference between the BBC and Sixth Tone. But there’s a difference between “pure propaganda” and self-censorship on selected topics (as you just sort-of admitted). A sports newspaper can maintain high journalistic standards even in a dictatorship.
When you read Sixth Tone, you know in advance that you will not see anything (very) negative about China. But what you do see will generally be covered fairly (and it’s often quite interesting).
Ironically, Sixth Tone is doing the exact inverse of what you’re doing in this community. When we see a post of yours, we all know in advance that the source will be somewhat reputable but that it will not say anything positive about China. The irony!
