Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.

Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language

The article uses biased language to present China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in a positive light.

In part, the opening speech by Xi Jinping, the Communist Party chief, was a guide to how the BRI is changing. With China’s growth slowing, and many existing BRI projects mired in debt, there is less emphasis now on billion-dollar loans and on pouring concrete, and more on promoting Chinese standards and technologies, notably in green and digital infrastructure, and on “small yet smart” grassroots projects.

Use neutral language to describe the changes in the BRI without emphasizing China's standards and technologies.

Provide a balanced view of the BRI by including potential criticisms or challenges.

Omission of key information

The article fails to mention the negative impacts or controversies surrounding the BRI.

Chinese state media offered blanket coverage of the forum, asserting that over 140 countries sent representatives. They did not mention that just 21 heads of state and government turned up, fewer than attended the first and second forums, held in 2017 and 2019.

Include information about the lower attendance at the forum to provide a more complete picture.

Discuss potential criticisms or concerns raised by countries that did not attend the forum.

Unbalanced reporting

The article focuses more on China's perspective and positive portrayal of the BRI, while providing less coverage of other countries' views or concerns.

Some countries support China’s proposals for global governance, especially if that means fewer questions about their political systems, or human rights. But those leaders in the Great Hall of the People are not dupes. For one thing, many remember their history, and how Chinese naval fleets and armies brought their countries much more than trade over the centuries.

Include more perspectives from other countries to provide a balanced view of their views on the BRI.

Discuss potential criticisms or concerns raised by other countries regarding China's influence or historical actions.
