There are many courageous reporters who are still trying to report news stories as best they can. However, certainly in terms of opinion pieces and commentary, my understanding from what I can see, both in the South China Morning Post and from what I learn of the Chinese-language media, is yes, they are parroting Beijing's line. This is particularly so for the pro-Beijing newspapers, which have long been doing that, but even the previously more moderate newspapers are finding it hard to be critical.
