Thanks again. I'd like to restate my question: which China-critical sources do you consider credible? Any western ones? Is there any way I could present this argument to make you change your mind?
I'm having a hard time accepting that all western sources are propaganda. I've never had reason to doubt the sources I cited before, such as Amnesty International, in other cases they've been accurate. Are they only misleading on China?
The free media of my country, Denmark, reports the same facts based on their investigations, across the political spectrum and despite angering our government, which has close economic ties to China. How does that fit with these organizations and this media being government mouthpieces?
The west, Denmark included, has interest in undermining the current government of China because it prevents the free movement of capital. As such, even though the west does a ton of business with China, it seeks to undermine its government and replace it with a liberal, capitalist-friendly gov. The links I gave you were all western, actually, I just heavily distrust mass media's reporting on geopolitical adversaries.
