Democracy Now amplifies State Department propaganda campaign against China behind progressive cover

While Democracy Now hosts US gov’t-funded pundits to spread humanitarian interventionist propaganda about Xinjiang, an analysis by The Grayzone found most of the outlets’s China coverage is sharply negative The U.S. has claimed a humanitarian “Responsibility to Protect” to justify military operations in the name of saving civilian lives from evil dictators.

The Biggest Lie About China's Xinjiang "Internment Camps"
