it worries me how little emphasis is put on pr and international relations. if they dont clean up their act, they will lose momentum and international standing real fking quick. the anti-chinese sentiment is spreading rapidly, especially in critical zones like east and southern africa
This is a major criticism I see from Chinese folks on r/sino. The west is waging a massive propaganda war and the Chinese Government isn’t really hitting back. Beijing thinks truth will prevail, but it rarely does in the face of coordinated disinformation.
Chinese propaganda for foreign consumption is all hamfisted too. Not nearly as sophisticated as what VOA or the big European state-run broadcasters put out.
There’s exceptionally little China can do about it though. Aside from dismissing the West’s claims as nonsense and lies, anything they publish will simply be counter-dismissed as Chinese gommulist propaganda, topped off with a double helping of sinophobic red scareism.
