haha just a drill bros

nothing to see here

you legit think its a psyop/drill?

hmmmm

people's daily is a shill

So is scmp

Every news outlet, shill or not, is just reporting all that anyone knows right now. That the People's Armed Police have moved tons of personnel and equipment into Shenzhen and that state media have claimed it's for a major drill. If it were some imminent doom mobilization they would not have made it so visible - Beijing is well aware of how many eyes are on Hong Kong. My guess is they're on orders to conduct some threatening drills to ramp up anxiety in the SAR while the government and police force lay low, plant a few agitators, rough up some kids and jounalists and wait. Either until they sufficiently act out and provide pretext for "anti-terrorist" action, or until the movement fizzles out and the media cycle moves on.

I'd say that SCMP is less shill and more under heavy beijing influence

SCMP just relays the status quo. You won't read anything groundbreaking there, and if you do it will be quickly withdrawn or fixed. But, due in part to their ties with Chinese authorities and their larger mandarin-speaking staff, they end up having some insightful articles with more thorough translations of official mouthpieces. You can glean a lot of information reading it, since they still have at least a cursory reputation to uphold and can't go full Xinhua
