On the scmp front page now, there's an headline titled:
"How Beijing trumped US moves to force the quick sale of TikTok"
Once you click into the article, there's no mention of how Beijing is "trumping" the US - unless they meant "Trumping". I don't see possibly getting shut down by another gov't and foregoing the possibility of billions of dollars equates to "trumping."

Edit: the headline is now gone but the article is still available.
Generally the highly aligned comments have dropped off for the SCMP now that it is behind a paywall (less relevant?).
Today the only article with users comments extolling the gloriousness of the government is about the rather pointless mass testing scheme that a world class medical sector needed help from the PRC to administer. All very hard why such effort is being put into testing 10% of the population. As far as I am aware no cases that would not of been discovered using the existing protocols have been found yet.

It's pretty obvious it's a coordinated wumao campaign. Yet the SCMP does nothing about it....naturally.
wow, 184 commentsOriginal Post Deleted
Someone did mention that the number comments is negatively correlated to the quality of the article...
Why can't HKFP have a half decent app that also comes with notifications for breaking news, and then I can ditch the SCMP completely?
Well over 300 comments for the DQ of elected lawmakers and the subsequent planned resignation. Majority seem to have probably slanderous accusations of foreign backing. How so many people have such highly aligned thoughts is quite remarkable.
