What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

This is bad, but Novara Media is using such news while at the same time hailing China for its policies, although Chinese social welfare and labour conditions are far behind Germany's or anywhere else in Western democracies. This is a highly biased anti-democratic medium in my opinion.

Textbook case of Whataboutism.

There is a community here on Lemmy that tries to normalize biased media that favour China and other autocratic systems.

I don't support this German move, but in addition to the end to phone-based sick notes, the German government introduced another 33 measures, including a €10 billion in income tax relief targeted at lower and middle-income earners. But Novara Media takes a single measure out of 34. This is a textbook case of selection bias.

There is nothing wrong with critique, but there are good sources that explain the entire German package in more depth, and many of them are easier accessible as they aren't hiding behind Cloudflare as Novara Media does if I may say so.

Hey sinophibic idiot: Germany is irrelevant and China dominates it in every metric relevant to workers quality of life. Germany is a Zionist shithole. Take your China Bad shit and go home.
