    If you were to give NATOpedians the benefit of the doubt (big “if”), it’s possible that the NYT originally did publish an unsubstantiated claim about the method of execution and later retracted it without apology or notice. It’s part of the Westoid media’s MO at this point, just look at the recent Hamas r*pe allegations.

      Maybe but the page revision shows this reference was added in 2024, the person editing this had access to the current version. All of the links there are shit even the old ones are not any better like this its a story by some caricature named cracker who seems to have built an entire career of being the “Chinese correspondent”, citing “No First Name” Zhang telling an outline of why China might need this. No facts or anything and the only other source is surprise surprise a literal San Francisco based NGO “working to free political prisoners” lol.

      This is the standard of wikipedia.
