Allowing only western sources is not "truly trying to maintaining a neutral pov" as all sources have a bias
Does Wikipedia really only allow Western sources? I don’t know if that’s true
wikipedia considers government propaganda sources like the BBC and Voice of America (dont laugh) to be reliable, as long as they're western government propaganda sources.
But I don’t think it’s true Wiki only allows Western sources
Wikipedia heavily favors western news sources as "less biased" than non-western equivalents. Look at the text of the post you're commenting in.
