Lots of people asking how is Chinese media covering the war in Ukraine. I have to think a moment what makes up Chinese media.
Because most Chinese people get their news frm social media where state media is only a part of the ecosystem.

With millions of Chinese people abroad and tens of millions using VPN in China.
News frm major foreign outlets and social media like Twitter/Instagram gets shared on Chinese social media Wechat in real time. bypassing the Great Fire Wall.

Chinese people abroad are translating news frm English, Russian, French, German, Spanish and feed them back on Chinese social media. I was part of that.
Chinese state media is good reference for Chinese gov’s official stand on the issue but not as end all source of news.
