I've met people in reality who feel the same way as you, and I wanted to ask you something:

Wonder if our media that is largely Republican controlled and owned by Western billionaires could maybe have some anti-CCP bias

Why does that mean that China is good? Like I understand that specific things western media says could be wrong, but we have a hell of a lot of proof about what they've done. So what I don't get is, sure media is owned by billionaires and corrupt, but why does that mean that the exact opposite is what's true? Stalin/Nazi Germany and Hitler/Germany hated each other, constantly lied about each other, but that never meant that either of them were 'good.' So why does it apply here?

No state is good. It's actually not good to make up lines on a map and violently control people according to it. The more violent (aka "powerful") the state, the worse that it is. USA might be the worst.

I mean, before Methler's Operation Barbarossa, they were happily dividing the world up between themselves.
