seriously deviated, OK.
Huh? Of course China is going to like itself.

Likely the CCP owns CNN honestly. So yes, that's my point.
Details:
I'm not sure exactly what Blinken said, but the changing of the word here implies he may have said "that it's an irresponsible act, and that the Chinese decision to take action..."
I mean, fair enough... maybe. They don't want to generalize. But saying The Chinese clearly would be discussing the government's actions, whereas PRC seems to imply blame to the party.
Then, a few sentences later, they generalize about China in a positive way.
It's subtle tricks like this that shape your opinion, you have to watch out for them!
