Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

They are surpressed culturally they are not too stupid to build things.
Yeah and one thing autoritarian regimes are known for is sufficient oversight and regulatory rigour!
They are a piss poor insular dictatorship, it is reasonable to expect lacking standards and outdated methodologies as they do not have sufficient investment for cutting edge processes.

And of course someone had to mention the US...
fair but i mean you guys are relevant in half the worlds history, and not in a good way.
Chaps my ass that people constantly assume everyone is an American. You know there's other countries out there too??
chaps my ass that people assume people can only be americans if they come from the us too but i digress.
You made a false assumption about where I'm from and get annoyed that I use the common denonym for it? Lol

Wouldn't happen if you don't assume
