Can you elaborate?

It's a tabloid that tells things "from the perspective of the Chinese government."

Supposedly the Chinese-language version is worse than the English-language version, but I can't verify that.

Cathay Pacific CEO stepped down after China’s civil aviation regulator issued a major safety risk warning to Cathay and set out a list of demands, including giving full information on crew flying into its airspace [1]. The news is first reported by China's state-owned CCTV [2].

Will censorship apologists claim this isn't censorship, because "no-one is owed a job", or "they're private companies that can do what they like", then link to this 'insightful' comic https://xkcd.com/1357/ ?

I know this comment may seem shallow and argumentative, but these arguments regularly show up when the speech is unpopular, to explain why it's "not censorship".
