You're absolutely correct. The Party don't want us to access that tiny percentage of Google results that are political. Yet most in the west want us to have fuck-all. It's good intention. But the result is even worse.
- hangonhn 8y agoNo. No it's not better. Half-truths are worse than outright lies. The difference between my parent's generation and my generation of Chinese is that my generation actually believes the Party whereas my parent's generation take everything the Party say with a huge dose of skepticism. It's not that the current generation is any dumber but rather the Party has gotten a lot smarter about censorship to give the illusion of truth. The most insidious lies are those built on selective "truth". There is a reason why you are asked to not just tell the truth but also the whole truth when you give your testimony in court.
