They're including the entirety of China's media budget.

While I agree things like npr, pbs, and local newspapers are propaganda, you guys typically don't. So it's silly to compare the two like that.

It's like saying the entirety of the UK's tv license fee is just for state run propaganda; and that's not fair, channel 4 exists and works against UK state propaganda.
