No one knows what happens in 2050. For now there is little hope for democratic change in China.
The linked article is pure propaganda. The South China Morning Post is one of Beijing’s propaganda outlets.
As an adddition: I wrote in another thread yesterday on a similar issue that I don’t understand why such sources aren’t outright banned. There are certainly also users posting such links while being unaware of their propaganda (which may be the case here, I definitely do not accuse OP of acting in bad faith), but many OPs do it deliberately. It’s aimed to undermine the community step by step until the propandists control the narratives (the second-hand intimidations in comments following China-critical posts is also part of this game). They are bad faith actors through and through.
I hear you, but you posting that TSCMP is a propaganda outlet is as good a warning as any that it is, in fact, a propaganda outlet. I’d rather allow the source so it can be ridiculed than ban it and not knowing.
Didn’t Reddit in the Before Times have that feature, where specific sources would be marked as suspicious and a warning displayed to users? That was just as useful, but didn’t require your manual intervention.
Reddit eventually banned the entire tankie community at some point.
It would be better to ban such ‘media’ - that are explicitly and dedicated propaganda outlets - as many post such links deliberately in a continuing attempt to distort reality.

Don’t tell me we have a brigading problem on Piefed already!
So, all of them?
