    Reuters would have to be straight up lying

    I mean, how would you characterize mainstream American reporting on Xinjiang?

    The right approach with unreliable sources isn't to treat new reporting from them with good faith -- they've done nothing to earn that, and quite a lot to show it's undeserved. The approach is to be agnostic on the new reporting until you get better information.

      I largely agree with you. I’m mostly considering this on terms of a party official getting out of line in his approach in combating the narrative. You can be right and still communicate things in a poor and irresponsible way, this applies to a wide range of potential situations. This kind of conversation, of course, is only suitable among comrades as they can grasp the nuances of the situation.
