We all know that the Western media will tell negative stories about China. And I’m not just talking the United States, Canada, Great Britain, but pretty well every Five Eyes country or anybody that’s sort of affiliated with them, like Japan.
They go down the same road with the manipulation of the media, but it’s not just the stories that they tell you in the news. It’s the way that they portray it. It’s the language manipulation that they use.
China doesn’t fire officials. They purge them.
Corrupt Chinese officials don’t get convicted for corruption, they lose power struggles.
Chinese leaders don’t strengthen laws. They concentrate power.
China doesn’t give out loans. They trap countries in debt. Oh yeah, well I’ve heard that a lot on the Belt and Road Initiative.
Chinese leaders don’t want their country to prosper peacefully. They are obsessed with stability.
Countries and international organizations don’t praise China. They pander to the increasing global influence.
Chinese people don’t attend rallies. They descend upon them.
The Chinese media doesn’t report news. It reports propaganda. This is the biggest one.
China doesn’t revise counting methodologies. It underreports cases. China doesn’t revise counting methodologies. It underreports cases. Think about that one. Doesn’t matter which numbers they take out and put out in the public, in the news, give their international partners. It’s not true is what they’re saying. They’re underreported if it’s bad. If it’s good, well then it’s over-reported. Of course, you know what I mean?
China doesn’t treat patients. It rounds them up.
China doesn’t requisition private hospitals during the health emergency by passing laws. It seizes them. It doesn’t requisition. It seizes them.
Chinese people are not patriotic. They’re brainwashed.
I hear that from all of the Alt-Right people that… the haters, the Trumpanomics people out of the United States. And there’s a lot of Democrats that are doing exactly the same thing, brainwash this and brainwash that…Well, you know, if that’s the way you think, maybe you’re the one that’s brainwashed.
China’s government doesn’t face governance challenges.
China companies don’t innovate. They steal IP. Yeah. And that’s been a big thing in the news, the Trumpanomics news over the last number of years.
Chinese celebrities don’t love their country and post patriotic messages on social media. They pander to the CCP and nationalistic fans. I get that all the time, guys. Pander, bootlicker, commie shell, all of these things. Yes.
Hong Kong rioters don’t storm and destroy Legco. The Hong Kong police stand back and let them do it.
Hong Kong rioters, don’t beat and burn and kill civilians, commit arson, build bombs, destroy subway stations, set fires to buildings, block traffic. They retaliate against police brutality.
Citizens of unfriendly countries don’t display patriotism. They display nationalism.
You see, all of these words that they use to manipulate the news in the Western world. But they’re not just manipulating the news, they’re manipulating you and me as Western viewers of the news. And it’s one of those things that they do it very well. They’ve been doing it for years and years and years.
You know, you got the Trumpanomic boys and stuff with the Fox News. You got the Democrats with CNN.
In Canada, the CBC is a Liberal thing. The Conservatives, I don’t think have any really big news thing, channel on their side. But the Conservatives have social media locked up solid. They’re really good on social media where you look at the Liberals and they get bashed on social media.
The media in the West, you can’t trust them anymore. When I was a kid, you used to be able to trust what they would say. I know that.
Sure, in China, there’s news and they lean towards their political beliefs in China, too. But the difference in China is that if they see something good happening around the world, even in the United States or Canada or Great Britain or anywhere, they actually report. And they say this is good news.
While in the West, when China does something good, like you look at this last CV thing, the Canadian news came on there and said, Taiwan region and South Korea did a great job at fighting this CV thing that’s going around the world right now. No mention of China.
But the idea is that they won’t, they can’t. There must be an unwritten rule or maybe it’s a written rule in these news organizations that you’re not supposed to say anything positive about China.
