The Chinese government already does. The state controlled media puts out massive amounts of propaganda railing foreign firms. The same could be said for the US

The Chinese government already does. The state controlled media puts out massive amounts of propaganda railing foreign firms.
The same could be said for the US in the case of Hauwei but China is far worse on this front.
- yogthos 7y agoJust like oligarchy controlled media puts out massive amount of propaganda here.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoIt does. But here you're free to speak your mind and sources with all sorts of opinions are available. In China, the state supported line is the only opinion you'll find. Information not favorable to the party is widely suppressed
- yogthos 7y agoThere is no practical difference. Here you can scream into the void until you're blue in the face, but it's not going to make a lick of difference. When your government is bought and paid for by the oligarchy, it's just a management committee for the rich. At least in China people know where they stand, while people here are deluded that they have some kind of freedom.
- adinobro 7y agoDo you have any actual examples? Chinese TV & newspapers spend most of their time speaking about how good China and Chinese companies are rather than caring about US companies. Lots of Chinese people are not aware of the "trade war". I'm not asking for many just 1 recent example.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoI'm not going to take your obvious bait. There's thousands, use google
- kibibu 7y agoIt didn't look like obvious bait to me, just asking for a single recent example.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoThere's clearly many examples out there to support any opinion. The only reason to ask for a single article instead of giving concrete opinions is to derail the topic by trying to point out flaws in whatever you find. It's a really common trolling tactic. You can see the user responded anyways when I refused to participate. Why didn't they just say that the first time?
- adinobro 7y agoI'm not actually trolling. I'm interested in reading an article like this. I've seen people talk about them and looked for them but not seen one. The ones I've seen are just boring. Sorry if you thought it was a troll. It sounded like you knew an actual source that I could check out rather than just rumours.
- JCharante 7y agoA new account refusing to back up its claims? Maybe it's because you know you'll get banned for your baseless anti-China propaganda.
- adinobro 7y agoI live in China as an expat. I haven't seen any bashing of US companies from the media in the limited amount of Chinese media that I consume. There is propaganda everywhere but it is about China. They don't tend to bash other countries but keep going on about how good China is. They just ignore everyone else because China is everything. The US media bashes China all the time but that may just be because I read English news. If you have seen the Chinese equivalent I would like to check it out since I haven't seen that side of China yet. The Chinese people are strongly nationalistic just like people from the USA (I'm from Australia which is nice ... but not really important). Social media is big over here and people organise boycotts of companies all the time. You said "state-controlled media puts out massive amounts of propaganda railing foreign firms" and "China is far worse". It should be easy to find one if this is true otherwise it is just "fake news" that gets repeated so often that people think it is true. It should be easy to find one example.
