    Why’re we using straits times, a state owned newspaper by the Chinese government??

      Does the article have any problems you’d like to point out, or are we just being weird and racist for the fun of it? The Straights Times is Singaporean, not Chinese. The only link I can find between The Straights Times and the government of China is from a few months ago when the CEO met with several Chinese state-run news agencies to discuss collaborating to “tell the story of the two countries’ development and people-to-people friendship.” That’s the only link I can find. The Singaporean news outlet is most definitely not “a state owned newspaper by the Chinese government.”

      Edit: The Straights Times is republishing this article by Reuters. Any complaints you have would be directed there, not at The Straights Times. You’re being weird.
