Analysis / Bias

Asia-Pacific Research primarily republishes articles from the Centre for Research on Globalization. They also publish original content infrequently, such as this Hong Kong’s Paradoxical “Independence” Movement. Asia-Pacific Research sources information.

Editorially, they focus on Asian Democracy with articles such as Becoming a Democracy—The Example of Nepal. While Asia-Pacific Research does not typically report conspiracies directly, their republication of Global Research articles does. While most Asia-Pacific Research articles discuss legitimate humanitarian concerns, its view of science, economics, and geopolitics can delve into conspiracy theories.
