      If China is so bad, why the constant need for propaganda?

      Ultimately, all media pushing a narrative is propaganda. Propaganda isn’t bad in and of itself, it can be used to push good messaging and good information. The reason why there’s strong pushes for pro-China sentiment from the left is because right now, in the west, the majority sentiment is anti-PRC based on US State Department narratives.

        I see way more “China is good”-propaganda than any other nation or group of nations

        Edit: they are also quick to downvote, delete my comment or ban me when I write things like this

          Have you ever seen a super cut on YouTube of 50 US news stations literally repeating the exact same line over and over and over again?

    Do people in China really think this?

    Turn on Fox News, or Left comedy shows. Or major influencers.

    The Americans biggest threat is… Americans. Specifically the other side. I haven’t heard mega conservative or mega liberal family, or anyone, even utter the word “China” in a while. Honestly the only place I see it now is finance news, and they are just jawboning to move stocks anyway.

    Trump and senators do say it sometimes I guess, but TBH it’s mostly on deaf or bored ears.

    Can’t speak for the UK, but I imagine they are starting to look across the pond with worry.
