The probability of 3 articles in as many days focussing on the difference in skin colour and the prejudices etc that such a simplistic approach can create doesn't feel like an unlucky co-incidence for the CCP's most respected English language mouthpiece.

Tuesday’s panel discussion was open to foreign media...

...and resulting in different coverage between SCMP and HKFP:

The pro China articles probably have something to do with the fact the journalists are probably more mainlandish Chinese than Hong Kong Chinese as judging from their names.

In an unrelated fact government owned RTHK are much better at being impartial. Having been following the RTHK reporters on Twitter, it’s evident that they try their best to report fairly even if they lean towards the pro democracy side.

The first article east coast posted is imo more relevant to his point.

Having been to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia a few times in the past few month to look at the impact of the tariffs and anti-dumping duties. It would take a pretty 'ambitious' editor to make the story about how a mid sized but glorious a CCP owned industrial park is doing.

It is not a conspiracy theory just a comment on the editorial choices of a the paper. It would of been hard to imagine such an approach 5-6 years ago. Perhaps some may think this approach is quality journalism - finding the small story instead of reporting the bigger stories. To me it just looks like propaganda.
