You cannot possibly call out China's state media lack of neutrality (as if it wasn't expected anyway) as if your own state media (or non-state for that matter) had been any more neutral.

Would argue they've been just as bad if not worse.

Hell, all the largest media companies (yes, Meta, Twitter and co are de-facto media companies, the way they're built and the reach they now have mean they have more influence than your standard news media organisation) have gone out of their way to make sure that the rules against "calling for someone's death" don't apply if you're talking about a Russian. Could it be more obvious than that?

You're completely missing my point. China is talking out both sides of its mouth. When it does press releases for an international audience, it presents itself as this holier-than-the-West neutral party that respects territorial integrity of all countries. When it comes to its own citizens, they make it clear that China has sided with Russia and doesn't give a hen's tooth about Ukraine.

Yeah but that's not unique, America talks a lot about the Uighur population in China but then goes right ahead and actually kills millions of muslims. I think a country talking out of both sides of their mouth to avoid war and difficulty is much more worthy than a country talking out of both sides of their mouth to create a dominion over the world.

Have you not been paying to attention to "the West"? The West-can-you-imagine-if-we-ever-intervened-in-another-country's-elections-or-if-we-invaded-a-country-just-because-we-don't-do-that? That West?

Yes, China is holier than the West. Even if you only go by "illegal invasions by capita",
