    State run is not the same as state influenced. You can’t honestly say they are equivalently influenced.

    Also I will restate you posted a literal Facebook post. If you had a better source I know you would rather use that.

      Well you’re right that they’re not truly equivalent, as China’s state reporting is generally much higher quality than the slop that is produced from American State Department outrage mills. But I was addressing your seeming urge to want a truly unbiased source, which I don’t believe exists.

      If you want to trawl through CCTV’s English website for posts about Xinjiang I invite you to do so, I posted that facebook post specifically because it was fresh in my mind from a previous discussion. And calling it “a literal facebook post” as though it’s the rantings of a suburban conspiracy theorist when it’s a post on facebook by a major news agency is more than a little misleading.
