A detailed and balanced piece of journalism humanizing both sides.
Yeah, this was a great read.

I think it also highlights the extreme importance of free and independent media for democracy.

Very very long post, criticizing everything insider sources say, twisting definitions (ethnocide becoming genocide), while providing absolutely zilch evidence of the said genocide... I dislike China pretty much or more than the average guy, but come on, if the stuff is real there should be more convincing evidences. In anyway case, the journalist here is pretty good at producing exactly the Western propaganda she mention in her own article...
