The white regimes and propaganda industry have never missed any opporunity to make, up or twist, stories for their own political ends. The 2 that I can immediately recall are the Gulf of Tonkin incident, and Powell's Iraq WMD lie. All were taken by many in the West as true at the time but later were proved to be lies.
That someone does NOT trust Chinese governemnt propaganda I can understand but it has to take a wilfully blind to swallow white propaganda uncritically. Further argument is a waste of time.
