The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Chinese leader Xi Jinping's recent warning to President Biden about China's urgency to resolve Taiwan's status sooner rather than later underscores the seriousness of today's tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Having hinged its great-power resurgence on reunifying with Taiwan, China has understandably been loath to leave the island's political fate to chance.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author has a conflict of interest as they have previously worked in government on national security issues. They also mention that reforming the National Security Council (NSC) to more effectively address the China threat will be key to their success.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The author contradicts themselves by stating that China is a regional threat and then later stating that it is a transnational threat. They also state that China has been primarily focused on threatening its neighbors and managing internal stability but now they are undermining American values, undercutting Western influence, and reshaping the world order to advance their priorities.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author mentions that China has been involved in deceptions such as its undue influence over the World Health Organization (WHO). They also mention that China's military-civil fusion strategy employs Chinese firms as an extension of Beijing's national security apparatus.
