If there is nothing positive about China to sell, time to resort to smearing the alternative!!!

Yes and because of the ROI the favorite tool of the corporate funded right.

The world just HATES the American hegemony and unfair practices. See the tragedies of the Palestinians ans Lebanonese, the world knew it was the policy of U.S. enabling and causing them. These are not fake news !

Chinese propaganda seems so overt, so unsubtle, so amateur that it seems hard to believe anyone would believe it, particularly in a developed country where education should have opened people's eyes to simplistic whataboutery and conceit. But then you see how people are easily manipulated by narcissistic blowhards in other parts of the world and you can see how people gullibly believe anything.

The entire world is not the Iranian proxy bases.

the consistently pro-Beijing messages give them away.

Just like the ones on JT. Consistently denying reality; consistently trying to sell the "benefits" [sic] of China's totalitarian dystopia; consistently posting half-truths and outright lies.

No-one is buying it: they are preaching to the choir.

I do wonder sometimes how many of them actually believe their lies. I imagine that most don't, but they are stuck within the system - defined by their social credit score, and just playing along until the CCP eventually falls.

The world just HATES the Chinese CCP + Russia and unfair practices. See the tragedies of the Ukrainians and Philippines/Taiwan, the world knew it was the policy of China and Russia, enabling and causing them. These are not fake news !

Glad to see your openness in agreeing Chinese CCP use fake news following the GOP in the US. But it doesnt make it right or less fake.
