Dude, chill. When I researched this yesterday morning, I could only find obscure blogs and small foreign press. With news this big, that was suspicious. One doesn’t have to be racist to think so.
But apparently NPR was just a day behind, which is maybe understandable as a lot of information coming out of that area can be hard to verify, and NPR does try very hard to get it right. And it’s not because they’re western. They’re very good at their job. Whatever this Chinese source is simply has zero reputation for me, and in that case it’s only wise to treat it with skepticism.
