Hu Xijin
The Global Times is the only publication cited in this article. w:WP:RSP applies here ("The Global Times is a tabloid owned by the Chinese Communist Party. It was deprecated near-unanimously in a 2020 RfC which found that it publishes false or fabricated information, including pro-Chinese government propaganda and conspiracy theories"), see: WQ:PG ("policies and guidelines from the Wikipedia project usually apply equally well to Wikiquote").

 * Delete, unless other quotes with valid sources are found. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:42, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. RSP must always be viewed in context. It is difficult to see that it would have misrepresented the statement of an editor. I also note with disappointment the creator was not contacted.  Following this through there is a real risk of only anti-establishment Chinese journalists being quotable. -- DeirgeDeltac 12:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. As GMG said, RSPS isn't a policy or guideline, should not be used for blanket mass deletions. while a Chinese state media source should be used with some caution and/or attribution, there is also a real risk of only anti-establishment Chinese journalists being quotable, per DeirgeDel. My concern for the delete vote is rather is that all the quotes were probably translated from the article creator and I believe that having articles where all quotes are self-translations is a concern because of lack of verifiability and accuracy. --ᘙ (talk) 15:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, for lack of notability, and reasons given above. Markjoseph125 (talk) 14:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
