Absolutely not. It's a far-right conspiracy theory newspaper. It's run as the propaganda outlet of Falun Gong, a completely insane religious cult whose founder is extremely anti-China, and recently super pro-Trump. Guy says insane shit all the time like he can walk through walls and walk on water. All Epoch Times does is push out conspiracies, misinformation, and insane bullshit. Your roommate is a nut if he's reading that trash.
