Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Next time you read an article in the Economist about how "Xi hates this one trick", pay attention to the attribution of the sources. It's all carefully written to frame unsubstantiated statements as facts, and to be able to deny it later.
- latentcall 2y agoYeah I find it hard to believe any Western propaganda about China anymore. Like the OpenAI thing with China using AI to spy on citizens or whatever? OpenAI is now a tool of the feds and they can just make it up? With the recent elections politicians just make things up and their constituents believe it immediately and forever. Trump saying the plane crash was a DEI hire caused event? What about WMD’s in Iraq? What about conservatives believing kids use litter boxes in schools now? We can take it so far. I’m not saying China is the world’s greatest country or anything but I don’t think they’re as bad as the media wants us to believe.
