But then if primary sources for Chinese government are unreliable why are the secondary sources from Chinese local newa agency acceptable? In that case even the secondary sources would be unreliable, where to draw the line?

Those secondary sources often aren't reliable as well. It depends on the source and its history of accuracy in reporting. There's plenty of newspapers that have been determined to not be a reliable source, including any tabloids.

Yes. It's hard for me to understand, too. Maybe China did have rather free news organizations in the past.

In Hongkong. We all know what happened to that place.
