The fact the government lies about China, while China is still bad behind the scenes, can both be true.

This is just vague-posting unless you actually link some credible china-bad studies that aren't sourced from British or US state media.

some credible china-bad studies that aren’t sourced from British or US state media.

University of Limpopo, South Africa, on China neocolonising Africa - https://www.jstor.org/stable/27159668. Is that credible enough for you?

If not, is there a source that you would call credible - and if it exists, what is it?

Note: I hope I don't come as aggressive, I was trying to be succinct.
