Sinocism is the approximately the same level of quality as Jansen, Dumbrill, etc. That it caters to a particular crowd of liberal "China watchers", which you may be party to, does not make it higher quality.
Axios is also known for producing outright disinformation on China via zealots like Allen-Ebrahimian.
It is a radically nationalist pro-China forum to the point where they regularly push anti-US conspiracy theories and regular usage of words like "Amerikkka".

The person you're replying to is an occasional poster to that subreddit, who surely knows this already
Lmao, HNers will eagerly doxx/dig up dirt on someone for a Gotcha moment but is offended by someone suggesting they validate propagandistic claims about a foreign country.
Honestly I have no recollection of ever visiting reddit Sino subreddit.
>Which means you're an active lurker there and saw his name often?
I guess what you're trying to ask me is "How do you know that?"?
But rather than trusting any more of my claims, I suggest that you simply visit Reddit and look: You will see exactly the same unusual user name; with the same interests as here in various diverse topics; and the same writing style
Really, I think the initial question about the OP's behavior on Reddit was intrusive and probably out of line in HN etiquette, and the OP could ignore it
But I commented because the OP did engage with that question, and lied. And also because you then replied to OP in good faith, not realizing that you were wasting your time by trying to help someone who is obviously being disingenuous
I think it's fair to call out people who are spreading disinformation. I see the same patterns among some posters here and on reddit.
The two commenters above recommended youtube channels that A. are very low quality, B. repeat state media talking points verbatim, and C. are made by people who don't even speak Chinese, so they don't actually understand what is actually happening around them in their daily lives.
Maybe let people check both out and decide for themselves.
