These nations choose to not want to be in the Russian sphere

The word "choose" is doing a heavy lifting here. Most of those countries are being actively forced to throw themselves into a war to satisfy the west's bloodlust. The pressure is done through countless of NGOs that fund the unrest.

A recommended reading to dispel the notion of an organic "choice" will be to investigate about the NED -> https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xw/wjbxw/202408/t20240809_11468618.html

Late reply but it's a genuinely interesting report, but maybe it's a de programming issues but is it wise to disbelieve an evil superpower but trust the opposing super power as the complete good? I love china, I want Chinese dominance because historically they were dominant but non intrusive and their ethos isn't the same as the western one of exploiting anything in existence. But we can entirely trust Chinese media in this regard? I'm not saying it's wrong and I was born in the west (ethnically not western tho) so could do with brain washing of china bad. But I have made strides in recent decades to see what china has really done for the nations it works with while being aware of hypocritical stance of the west whining when their companies can no longer monopolize the exploitation of the entire global South or even China's "scary" non existent international military bases and outpost that are in reality firmly in China's sphere of influence

I completely understand where you are getting at.

About your question on Chinese media, I can only say that it doesn’t matter if you like or dislike a certain media outlet — it’s still important to be able to read their information critically and make your own opinion. In Lemmygrad, there are plenty of guides to develop media literacy if you are interested.

Now, from my experience, Chinese media has been very good at informing these type of issues and adds nuance to this discussion while western news not only strip the context out of the news but manipulate the facts to further their imperialist agenda. Evidence and facts are important and the west has proven allergic to it.

In conclusion, keep investigating and see every other perspective available(Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Venezuelan, Cuban, etc). Wish you the best!
