The YouTube channel 'China Insights' provides a great breakdown as well:

That's an interesting channel, though I've personally found it problematic. Nearly all its videos are very strongly negative on China. That makes me wonder do they have an agenda and are they twisting the truth in some cases? Would be great to get any insight on this.

Do they have an agenda? Absolutely.

Are they twisting the truth? It is difficult to say without corroborated information that poses an alternate read of the facts.

Is it cherry picking information? Almost certainly.

If you trust the translation in the voice overs or subtitles and the sources of the videos themselves, there is still a lot of material there.

Spotlight on China is another that has news about China's economics / industry / politics for outside of China consumption that doesn't appear to be state media.
