While the PSA is appreciated, both the submission title AND the article title itself also say “Opinion,” right at the beginning. It’s clearly and appropriately marked as such.
That said…it might be worth having this discussion on Opinions/OpEds in general. As one one of the mods here, I’m personally OK with Opinion pieces as long as they’re clearly marked, as it is here. But I’m curious what others have to say about this.
Are people interested in getting rid of them altogether? Keeping them as long as they’re easily marked and easily noticed? Keeping them even if not marked? Don’t care?
Leave it be. There’s nothing wrong with non-sensational opinion articles. In this case, the article brings together fact and inference about the Chinese government to make a statement.
I suspect most of the “PSA” individuals didn’t read the article itself, which is a part of a larger coverage on authoritarian regimes around the world.
