I can find evidence of my governments lies, many of their coverups fail. I don't assume I am dealing with an honest bunch of politicians. You can't do that in China. Pro govt propaganda in the West is usually pulled apart by an independent media, electoral safe guards also help identify wrongdoing. You cannot do that in China, there is one story, theirs, that's it. Question it and you get disappeared. The net effect is you cannot trust any news from China, unless that news was reported and then quickly scrubbed from the Chinese internet. In those case the story is almost certainly true.
