FYI, there's an interesting commentator machine operating in China for public manipulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party I'm not ruling out genuine believer of their opinions but there's also this possibility. They're getting pretty sophisticated and sometimes instead of supporting the government, their goal would be disinformation, induce hatred (i.e. troll) to divide and conquer. If you're interested in the perspective of some HongKongness (myself included) I'd recommend this film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Years_(2015_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Years_(2015_film) It's so touching to me because it's dystopian but really just exaggeration what I perceive in real life that how the changes are creeping in during recent years, continual development of public swaying psyops is just one of them. Not that I like Britain nor UN either as they both dropped the ball of enforcing the Sino-British Joint Declaration or giving HongKong a chance to decide its own fate as other post-colony.

This thread has nothing relate to Hong Kong. Could you please stop introducing such completely off-topic stuff? Thank you.

  Well there's comparison of cultural and citizen quality between HongKong an China in some heated debates here. Or do you think my comment should be censored?

I read a paper recently examining output of the 50c party based on leaked emails (I can't find a link now), which showed that rather than spreading hatred and jumping to defend the Chinese government, the 50c party actually avoid any remotely controversial topic and instead just post "Go China!" "Woo, look at $cool_thing China's done!" "Look how strong/advanced/kind/wise China is!" Of course whenever anyone writes anything pro-China on the internet, people are going to assume it's the 50c party, just like I assume anything pro-Microsoft here comes from a paid shill or a bot ;)
