They're not worried about CNN. There's no one at the airports to watch them.

Xi is everything that the anti-Trump psychotics claim Trump is.

What's so funny. They most certainly are very critical of Xi's regime.

He's not nearly leftist enough for them.

Since you're likely not familiar with the reporting from our press in Beijing and Hong Kong, here's a sample from each of the three:

How It All Started: China’s Early Coronavirus Missteps

Coronavirus Outrage Spurs China’s Internet Police to Action

Early missteps and state secrecy in China probably allowed the coronavirus to spread farther and faster

If anything, our reporters in Beijing and Hong Kong are far more critical of China than the press based in the US - or even our current state and federal government officials.

Without them, our understanding of current developments in China will be deeply limited.

It’s possible that the people over there see what a dictatorship actually looks like while some reporters here imagine we have a dictatorship. Hence the discrepancy in reporting.

Sounds like the majority of "In the Garden of the Beasts" by Erik Larson. Which is a historical account of US diplomats and the foreign press during the rise of the Nazi regime.
