Wikipedia sources are fairly old

A few of the sources are literally from 2023. But do go on, it certainly seems like you're here in good faith, right?

Yeah, I'm not saying there isn't anything newer "A few" vs what's up to date

Wikipedia isn't great place for sources because everyone can post and edit. We taught in school never to source Wikipedia for that reason.

Wikipedia banned seven users after reported 'infiltration' by a Chinese group https://www.engadget.com/wikipedia-banned-seven-users-after-reported-infiltration-by-a-chinese-group-104143971.html?

China and Taiwan clash over Wikipedia edits https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49921173

I'm here in good faith 🙏

Wikipedia isn't great place for sources because everyone can post and edit.

Then you can check the sources listed in the article. You're not just supposed to take Wikipedia's word for it, but you are allowed to click on the links in the references section. So either you're not aware of this, or you're not making this argument in good faith. In either event, because looking at the several sources in the wiki article I provided seems like it's still not good enough for you, I get the feeling this conversation is going nowhere.

Yeah, we should stop because you are not getting what I'm saying and probably can't see why you being downvoted.

Cheers
