I still don't believe Western press as a reliable source about China and
Chinese.
Why? Simply put. Their reports are often not supported by evidence.

In contrast, I have no problem quoting Western press concerning polls
answered by CHINESE CORRESPONDENTS.
Especially those I could look at the polling organization's methodology
and resultant statistics myself.

In comparison, there were a lot of talks in the Western press on Chinese
Debt Trap. Where are the evidence and associated statistics? In their
absence, I have no reason to believe those reports.
