So you might want to ask yourself whether AFP's coverage has become more pro-China after the recent 'National Security Laws' that were enacted in Hong Kong.
Crap, just learned Alibaba bought them out in '15. They have some good overseas editors that cover local topics that local media just doesn't cover well.
Twenty years ago it was just some grainy footage that had been "sent into the studio." At least now it's usually possible to actually track down the real sources.

It has happened with the Jews, it has happened with the USSR, it has happened with the USA in some places and now it is happening with China.
Indian labor is known to quite unruly, undisciplined and not very productive, and likely illiterate - both in their own mother tongues and in English. The unions have sapped out once productive PSUs; they've killed/burnt management if they haven't gotten their way (Suzuki's Manesar plant); and all of them want more subsidies and freebies.
The Indian state itself inherits the worst of Communism, Democracy and Colonial administrations. India probably has some more ways to go (down), before it realizes the folly in its self-conceit. Meanwhile, every bureaucrat in the kleptocracy is accumulating close to $50-100M in assets before retirement.
With the internet we now have dim-witted drunk Americans of all colors supporting assorted idiots here (recent agitations, being a case in point).

References in today’s journalism is always lacking with statements like this.

American politicians are supporting American companies to decouple from China, even if it means to go else where.
And since America supports Taiwan, in a sense, America is supporting these actions and their consequences.
