Bear with me, on this boba liberal’s video.

She talks a bit about restriction, censorship, and standardization of exported media by the ebil CCP /s, but rather focuses it on its consequent dullness, on-the-nose approach and cheapening of its media products…

How would you respond to this, point by point? (Sorry if I may sound like I argue in bad-faith)

Additional thanks if you don’t rely too much on whataboutism (yes, we can apply the artificial-politics-imposed media label, associated with CPC, on U.S media, like G.I Joe and Rambo, some of them even funded by the Department of Defense)

    Not the same person replying, I have a few:

    • Beyond (the songs 冷兩夜, and 光輝歲月, I’ve heard them referred to as the chinese beatles)
    • Cui Jian (Say Say Say, 不是我不明白, and 新长征路上的据滚)

    For something more recent and pop-y

    • 要不要买菜 (好男人都死哪儿去了 and 常乐)
    • Listening to Yinque’s Poems (芒种, 见山是山, and 红昭愿)

    Hope you like some of them!

      Thanks! I’ll check those out. Not normally a big fan of pop stuff, but it’s usually still nice to listen to. (there’s a reason it is popular after all.)
