It's real. The party's own newspaper is reporting on the objections to it during this "soliciting feedback" phase of legislating.

Edit: Actually, it's more of an affiliate of the party's official newspaper.

    It's not affiliated and they also don't list a source.

    Global Times is published by People's Daily though?

    🤔 so I previously just clicked on the about page and there was no mention of this. I see that Wikipedia backs up your claim, but they also don't seem to provide a source. I'm inclined to believe it anyway so thank you for informing me on this. "Journalism" has really become a complete dumpster fire.
