China's struggling property developers won't be getting a major bailout, authorities indicated, warning that those who "harm the interests of the masses" will be punished.
Sure, I completely agree with everything you have said. And the sad reality of news right now in the English speaking world has a US bias for obvious reasons. My link to a S.Korean paper is still a link to a US ally. They’re not as biased as USA itself, but won’t escape all influences. It’s unfortunate at best.
Yeah, but I feel like you would get biases from Chinese sources as well. This property crisis seems to be the worst economic crisis that China has dealt with for a generation and the party has seemed to lean more on the mandate of heaven justification for them to stay in power.
And a government dealing with a loss of legitimacy during a financial crisis isn’t just a Chinese issue, but it appears to be something that current Chinese leadership has no experience in handling given their decades of economic growth.
So I would expect Chinese sources to paint a rosier picture of the crisis, focusing on punishing the greedy developers while trying to stifle discussions on reforming the municipal tax bases or the role of local officials being a key part in property overdevelopment.
Absolutely, it’s incredibly annoying everyone has a bias. But that’s what we are going to see as the world splits into 2. In many ways it’s inevitable. I’m just appreciative that at least for now, both sides seem to be opposed to war, with distressingly USA seemingly more likely to start it. Since historically when you have 2 superpowers, war is the first thing that they used to do.
