While there is some truth in what you say, many overseas Chinese get their news from Chinese sources even if they have access to better options. It creates a vicious cycle of cognitive dissonance.

Well I haven’t read Chinese news sources for many years. Speak of cognitive dissonance, Fox News and sometimes CNN are among the worst few media I’ve ever seen

  Teling the truth and getting downvoted. I'm Chinese too. Wanna connect (email in my profile)?

    Too much risks in US to do so right now in this climate. I just want to pay my taxes and remain a good keyboard man with slightly different opinions. See Chineses self censored.

      whenever I see misinformation my blood boils. I thought moving out of China would help my anger management. But alas here we are. I have been wondering instead of wasting time telling HN or any community what China is like, maybe there's something I can do to help China become a better place where I wanna live in future, no matter how small I can contribute. Many westerners (government bodies excluded) are good intended, but the solution they got mostly will only get things worse.

        It’s close to impossible to stop misinformation given most westerners Have a much higher trust level of their media E.g Fox News reporting hospitals are getting paid to attribute deaths to Covid-19 regardless of the cause. I’m sure many on the right-wing actually believes it. And also this forum is of western mainstream view and Values so bias is expected. dang teaches a good lesson in how to live here so nowadays I rarely get triggered
