Manny will probably like this article, since he visits China so often. It talks about a sensible American diplomat, who many don't know about - Charles Freeman.
Too long for me to read entirely, however some others may enjoy it. Talks about US propaganda versus reality in regards to China.

Too long for me to read entirely,

GPT is your friend:

In his December 16, 2024, article "American Propaganda-Hoaxes vs. Chinese Reality," Ron Unz critiques U.S. narratives about China's treatment of its Uyghur population in Xinjiang. He argues that allegations of genocide lack solid evidence and parallel past unfounded claims, such as Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction.

Unz references former Ambassador Chas Freeman, who has expressed concerns over the deteriorating U.S.-China relationship. Freeman, with extensive experience in China, warns against escalating tensions that could lead to conflict over issues like Taiwan or the South China Sea.

The article also discusses the impact of the internet in disseminating alternative viewpoints, highlighting how platforms have enabled experts like Freeman, Jeffrey Sachs, and John Mearsheimer to share insights that challenge mainstream media narratives.

Unz emphasizes the importance of critically evaluating official narratives and considering diverse perspectives to avoid repeating historical mistakes driven by misinformation.

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

Funny I did not use GPT however what I read is almost exactly what the GPT analysis came up with.
