The Times unraveled a financial network that stretches from Chicago to Shanghai and uses American nonprofits to push Chinese talking points worldwide.

    I do understand that all countries do bad things. But I’m not just going to hate China because The NY Times tells me to. Realize that the media carries water for the US State Department. There’s hundreds of reasons to criticize China, and we should. But not for doing something that other nations do. This has nothing to do with baseball.

        Maybe because you want to believe in American exceptionalism? Just because it’s whataboutism doesn’t mean it’s not true. You’re being manipulated to hate China vociferously by the state department and CIA and your reaction is, “Nuh-uh!”
