Conspicuous information discrepancy between sources

[edit]

I realized that some Chinese media sources (e.g. CCTV) conspicuously featured in the lead section present information that conflicts with information presented by Reuters and other sources which are not state-run by the Chinese communist regime.

These Chinese state-run media say that forced evictions have become opportunities for "becoming rich overnight", while Reuters says "...1.5 million people in and around Beijing were forced from their homes, often with inadequate compensation". Multiple other sources also mentioned the mass evictions without consent happening in urban areas (see the Notable examples section).

I suspect that these state-run media are not reporting truthfully, so I'd delete them in the lead if no one objects. Thomas Meng (talk) 17:57, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed the large-scale deletion. Other opinions are welcome.Thomas Meng (talk) 14:18, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
