Chinese newspapers wil freely criticse lots of things, for example they will report that people don't like the Olympic mascots, or something of a similar public standing. However are they ever allowed to truly comment and debate highly political issues? A simple no. Western media has it's crap. But it is undeniably better because it does have a significant section of impartiality, freedom, truth and honesty, despite the various bias.</p>
