This is just so apples-to-oranges it's not even appropriate.

China has a legitimate claim to Hong Kong, Hong Kong (arguably) has a right to self-determination.

They're a newspaper. Present both sides, let me make a decision. Don't tell me what to think.

The PRC is a totalitarian dictatorship that suppresses free speech.

The New York Times is a newspaper built on free speech.

There really aren't to sides to be report about.

NYT could have saved lots of words.

"China is bad. Hong Kong should be free."

Removing nuance is fun.

Yeah, the difference is the nightclub shooter killed about 50 million less people.
