There is a very obvious anti-China sentiment on Reddit, where you barely see any post with good news about China, where any news coming out of China is seen as CCP propaganda, and pro-China comments are downvoted and accused of being shills for the CCP. I'm disappointed to see the same trend on HN, even if it's not as bad.
- sebmellen 6y agoIn your thinking, how is Jack Ma's reappearance "good news"? Doesn't that imply that he was potentially in danger, or taken "out of commission," and it's reassuring that he's not dead or in jail? This sort of conversation would never take place if a high-profile US executive like Bezos, Musk, or Gates disappeared for months after criticizing the government, and reappeared without making any mention of it. People would be freaking out and we would already have 500+ investigative journalists on the case, articles all over the place, widespread speculation... In China, it seems all of those are disallowed. If anything, this seems to be pro-China hypocrisy, not the other way around.
- kristofferR 6y agoYou reap what you sow. When you employ propaganda on a massive scale nobody who knows about it is ever going to take your words seriously again, even if you are actually speaking the truth in that instance. The existance of the 50 Cent Army makes every positive comment about China dubiuos.
