BLOG #6

 After I briefly browsed these websites, I found that each country hides a lot of information that is not good for its own country. All major media outlets are biased towards their own country. I read a piece about China warning the US to use balloon reconnaissance in Chinese territory. It contains the speeches of Chinese officials at the press conference, which obviously will not appear in the mainstream media in the United States.

in 2001, a US surveillance plane collided with a Chinese plane off the coast of Hainan Island in the South China Sea. The collision killed the Chinese pilot and forced the American plane to land in Chinese territory. This information was also reported in China, and it was a very important diplomatic event at that time. China has accused a U.S. reconnaissance plane (the U.S. Navy EP-3 electronic intelligence reconnaissance plane) of deliberately crashing into a Chinese J-8II fighter jet. The United States said that the collision was caused by the loss of control of the Chinese fighter jets. As for the U.S. plane landing on Chinese territory without permission, the U.S. side stated that another fighter jet took him to that airport. In the end, the United States did not apologize positively, and China returned the American pilot and plane.

Obviously, news that is unfavorable to the country and that will shake the power of the country will not be allowed to be published by the mainstream media. Mainstream media has greater influence, more readers, and higher trust. Like many scenes in movies, the boss tells you not to pursue this matter anymore, and you want to be a partner of justice. The result is that you harm yourself and those around you.

I can often find some very interesting information on these unknown websites, which let me know more about the things in the whole world. Nowadays, the publication rate of international news around the world is getting lower and lower. People can only see the good things in their own country, but they don't know the real history and the real process of many things.
