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

80%

Examples:

  • The article seems to present a one-sided view on China's aggression without providing counterarguments or balanced perspectives.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author works for Bloomberg, which may have a vested interest in portraying China as a growing threat due to its economic and political influence.

Contradictions

33%

Examples:

  • The article claims China is 'rapidly becoming more aggressive in its rhetoric and actions across Asia', but it does not provide any specific examples or link to peer-reviewed studies to support this claim.
  • The article selectively reports on certain aspects of China's actions while ignoring others.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • The article quotes Admiral John Aquilino saying, 'The buildup of military power despite a bad economy, the increased narrative of all things inside the 10-dash line are Chinese sovereign territory, then the actions that are going toward enforcement.' This statement is misleading as it implies that China's claims to its territorial waters are solely based on aggressive actions and not on international law or historical precedent.
