    Does reporting on it mean they are upset?

      They exercise editorial control and they exercise it vigorously, so when they report on something it’s for a reason.

      Does your comment intend to imply they’re just presenting some economic data points or something? It seems kind of inane to pretend that they don’t have a lens where this is a bad thing. That China bad etc etc.

        My comment was intending to imply they are not actually upset about this and are reporting on things that will make them money.

          It will make them money from readers being upset about it. The author specializes in anti-China outrage bait.

            So that would mean others are upset, not them.

          My comment had no purpose other than to be pedantic for it’s own sake because that is how the internet has taught me that intelligence is demonstrated and I want to appear intelligent

          Wow neat

      One Chinese company sent 1,000 drones to Russia in the two months before the war, according to figures compiled by Molfar Global, an open source research organisation. That firm, Shantou Honghu Plastics, describes itself as a wholesaler of children’s toys on its website and social media profiles.

      They are toy drones lmao. Yeah they seem upset alright.
