EVIDENCE of anti-China bias: Western media goes full CLOWN MODE
Wow, more Western opinion found on the Western media.
Your efforts are worthless. You may think otherwise, because it requires effort. Elsewhere, we do not have to jump a firewall by throwing money at VPN companies.
Because China's media is but anything plural or free, you will fail to dig such opposition or minority voices to be raised.
Yes, there is some domestic free press but that is despite of Modi and not because of him. There is the case of the journalist Siddique Kappan who is in jail in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh state for the last two years, since September 2020. He was going to report from a village in UP called Hathras where a Dalit girl had been raped by upper caste Hindu men, tortured and murdered. The local police knew who the perpetrators were and the BJP government was protecting them. The local police shut the girl's family in their house one night and took the girl's body to a field and burnt it.
The Hindutvadi thugs and their protector government were stopping people from going there and investigating and lending support to her family. Siddique is a journalist in Kerala in the south of India and he took a hired car to Hathras but was grabbed by UP police and they immediately jailed him. For what ? For doing his job of being a good reporter. The central government and the state government filed the draconian non-bailable UAPA law against him. They claimed contradictory things, that he propagandized for the mullahs of the PFI group but they also said he propagandized for the Communists. And I read some days ago that they had filed a "money laundering" charge against him. Somehow the Supreme Court has removed UAPA from his charge list but there remain others. It is not easy to be jouranlisting in Modi's New India. But Modi's people are releasing a book called "India, the mother of democracy" which of course is a mix of Hinduism mythology and twisting of history.
So, you need to protect existing freedoms, and expand it whenever possible.
India has elections, and power can be peacefully transferred. Not like it has a president of everything electing himself in elections which only he is allowed to vote. Would be difficult not to vote for himself.
