Trying to figure out truth or fiction from China is complicated by the CCP's direct censorship/influence.

Good news comes almost direct from CCP. Bad news is from anywhere-but-CCP.

Neither good/bad news can be judged as 100% true or false but the "CCP influence" means I have to use a fudge factor that decreases the trustworthiness of good news in comparison to bad news.

It doesn't outright invalidate "good news" but it introduces a significant element of doubt.
