then what makes you to believe highly politicalised publications like The Economist is "trustworthy"? please just feel free to google or AI search all those failed "crash" prediction made by The Economist on Chinese economy. Don't get too shocked to see there are dozens such predictions made by The Economist in the past 3 decades - it is beyond laughable. You get far better prediction results using any random number generator.
The problem here is quite often brainwashed people never realize that they have been brainwashed. Sometimes they trust, promote or even defend the perpetrators. You have my deep sympathy on this matter.
I am opposed to their political tilt altogether (I'm a socialist and there's literally a Lenin diss of the Economist!), and I disagree with their conclusions. That doesn't make the reporting itself useless, and they are the only ones going past a cliche caricature of China, even if they dress it in classic capitalist delusion.
There is no such thing as an unpoliticized publication, but one can still read, taking into account their biases. The point is to extract the information while discarding the ideological interpretation. In fact, this exercise is often easier when the ideological tilt is as obvious as the capitalist liberals from the Economist.
Forget about their predictions or their moralizing, but they have actual Chinese reporters talking to actual Chinese people on the ground instead of doing the usual Western thing of white MBAs treating China like some alien civilizational threat.
I don't know who that is, but from a quick Google he doesn't exactly seem trustworthy?
