Seriously that's what China actually would want, for the US to shut up and let the Chinese do business.
Journalists simply look for international news in the language they can understand: English. If you look at media in the "global south," they simply translate whatever they read in American newspapers, translating it, along with its bias or spin, to the local language. They have no capability to do otherwise. It's not like they can read Chinese or Korean or Arabic. So American newspapers decide what is true in the world. That's the great thing about being an American, you will always be on the right side.
Well, the other alternative is more US influence and the disappearance of a profitable business. And really? Who cares about what the opposition thinks? In countries like Sri Lanka average person doesn't know much about what their gov is doing. The opposition will of course blame the gov and use any argument it can. But when they take over their destiny will lie in their economic performance too, which means they will continue doing business with China.
Indians are cheering thinking this is the end of Chinese influence in Sri Lanka. If supreme leader Modi fails to manage India's economic ties to Sri Lanka it may end up being the opposite.
Even (I assume) with translators, 5 hours is long meeting

I'm pretty sure the $145 billion fund that goes to "influencing" journalists around the world through Operation Mockingbird has something to do with that.
And I would be surprised if there weren't atleast someone on staff at any of the smaller news agencies that have working knowledge of Mandarin.
The global media is dominated by western corporate outfits that colludes with US state department. China stepping up alone would still be tough to break through that. Russia was more adept at playing the game not least by employing western tactics to use against them, but they still got cancelled when it mattered.
US has even increased funding for anti China propaganda,providing hundreds millions more to smear China belt and road projects. If China also did the same, will it help to reverse the situation, I doubt it. Ultimately only hard power as others mentioned will cause the entire western media narrative to crumble as more and more people realize they are in a matrix and being lied to by western propaganda.
Take this popular tweet. It's blatantly anti China and twisted the facts but quite many people buy it, this despite the so called debt trap slandering being repeatedly refuted by Chinese or pro China sources.
The "Green" Party changes it's name to Brown Party... or brownshirt Party.
Surprisingly no. The victims all got tested and the tests have so far returned negative for anything like HIV or STDs. And nothing is taken from them.
Here is one incident caught on camera, quite unsettling...
