It's astounding how incompetent the US has become at propaganda, compared to the peak of the Cold War with the USSR. The US is an obese fighter that hasn't stepped in the ring for a serious match in 30-40 years. If the US had any idea what it was doing, or what it is really dealing with in China, it'd be applying enormous propaganda effort to that very wedge.
- CamperBob2 5y agoFrankly, widespread social instability in China isn't in the US's interest any more than it is in Xi's. We are very dependent on them, and will be for some time. The fallout from a massive propaganda campaign would be very bad for us if it were to fail to depose the CCP, and not much better for us if it were to succeed.

- jessaustin 5y agoI agree with sibling that TPTB in USA might not actually want what they pretend to want in China. Even if they did, however, in any PR effort it helps to be preaching from a position of perceived authenticity and integrity. USA isn't really in that position anymore, even if we imagine we somehow did occupy it at some point in the past.
