In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?
Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.
So in short words, propaganda makers are lazy, want to work more efficiently, so they censor. Problem is China’s image in the liberal west, they use this again as propaganda. endless circle…
It’s not just a question of laziness IMO. Censorship can also take a lot of bureaucratic work. But it has a reliability advantage that counter-propaganda does not.
Plus, the domestic situation is more important than what some liberals in the global north think. They will always find a way to hate China if the geopolitical situation calls for it, including funding terrorist organizations to stoke a proxy war to help destabilize China and then blaming China for carrying out a successful and relatively humane counterterrorism campaign. There’s no winning with these people. All you can do is your best.
Lazyness as in working more efficiently by working less with same or better outcome
To me, laziness that involves doing a lot of work hardly qualifies as such.
👍
It’s not lazy if they chose to do the solution that is more cost effective. On media sites, there are tons compare to 2-3 from China.
I only see this event keep pooping up from the West, why bother do it if you’re out-gunned media-wise there?
