The “western” news spent a good part of 2015 covering Edward Snowden’s in great detail and sealing great damage to US reputation, despite the Chinese, Russian etc. governments having or aspiring for similar programs.

Generally the “western” (or at least American) press has a strong tradition of criticizing its own government, much stronger than some other nations. Criticizing foreign governments or running negative stories about them does not take away from that. There are lots of positive China stories in the MSM as well.
