These news story alerts displayed in the notifications shade are actually triggered by the Google app. As you may be well aware, Google app comes pre-installed on all Android devices across the globe with China being an exception. The Discover Feed (formerly Google Feed) integrated into the Google app is responsible for these push notifications.
