When NYT/WSJ/BBC etc weren't blocked in China, they had incredible high trust #'s. Now the government says they are bad (after blocking them), the public all falls in line with that opinion.
I worry about what the Chinese government will do when they know they can make or remake public opinion so easily and effectively.
- DiogenesKynikos 5y agoNYT/SWJ/BBC used to have much more rounded coverage of China. Look at their China coverage before and after four years of Trump. The difference is stark. The entire political environment regarding China shifted drastically during the Trump administration, and that's reflected in both opinion polling and media coverage.
- fortuna86 5y agoAgain, if you were actually watching NYT/WSJ*/BBC, you'd know they were tougher on Trump in most cases than China 2016-20. But I see you have a narrative that i'm not going to penetrate, so lets leave it here. Have a nice day.
