I didn't install this app it didn't ask for permissions or nothing. 😡I just got the notification that it was installed. How do you explain this?

Very good but I'd say it's little biased, would go with reuters rather than global times for a bit more unbiased but it's really good and is nearly unbiased too

Myien Chun, 2024-10-05

Global Times is for understanding the Chinese government perspective, which one has the right to agree or disagree. Of course, they have pro-China leaning. At least, they are transparent. Less sensational than RT among non-Western media.
