You mean critical of the government. They also been critical of the UK, US, and Korean governments. Not to mention why they are most critical of isn’t the traditional reasons, but by the fact they need to ramp up social spending but hasn’t

Also it seems they are cynical of the numbers coming out, which is a fair point considering the Chinese researchers has a history of overcounting, inflating numbers, and sugarcoating CCP policies

At worse you can say they are anti CCP like other western sources like you said, but at best they just critical of any government who doesn’t increase social spending

You're talking to someone from lemmygrad. Anything that isn't praising china is just racist propaganda to them. Don't waste your time.

"Anti-CCP" is anti-China. The whole "hate the government not the people" charade is just a lame cover for racism and imperialism. Even the simple use of the incorrect "CCP" rather than the correct CPC is enough to indicate a person's stance.

The sources linked even discuss how China is increasing social spending in a multitude of ways, but all that information is left out and instead the spectre of "overcounted or inflated numbers and sugar-coated CCP policies" and western concern trolling tells the story.
