As search for "site:theguardian.com mengxiang" yields nothing.

Meanwhile, The Guardian is happy to print this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38777529

I'd love to see western media print both the positive and negative stories from China, not just negative.

The mission of this ship is awesome.

The Guardian is a clickbait factory, of course they're more likely to report on shit than on a ship. If you want high-brow reporting, try Reuters https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-conduct-sea-trials...

I'm mainly interested in the popular western media outlets since that's what most people read.

site:cnn.com mengxiang

site:foxnews.com mengxiang

site:nytimes.com mengxiang

All yielded nothing. I did not test further.

Goes both ways. When I was in China the first TV news I saw was a report on a car chase in Florida, like 15000 miles away. Like really, nothing else interesting to report on?

The total amount of propaganda isn’t nearly the same.

Chinese news will have positive US stories including product launches such as the newest Apple products or the latest Nvidia GPUs. China will also show Hollywood movies and play American music in their coffee shops. You never hear Chinese music in American coffee shops or watch Chinese movies at AMC.

Conversely, nearly everything is negative about China in the US.
