The Grayzone is not reliable reporting. It is no different from the Daily Mail or Breitbart, it simply leans in a different direction.

Reader beware.

Check OPs posting history. Pro-China content, Pro-Russia content, ignores every article critical of Russia/China. If this isn't a troll account, then OP is the very definition of a useful idiot.

I suppose it would be foolish to assume no propagandists are active in this space.

Absolutely. Harvard estimates that China's 50 Cent troll army makes 488 million comments per year. And that was their estimate from 2016. Always be skeptical of what you're read, and if you're suspicious, check the poster's comment history.

I actually got a temp ban for calling out a massive Russian troll account on Reddit because, "You have to attack the idea, not the user."
