Holy shit, many of us have been saying China should do this for years. Thank God. They should pump out reverse-Johnny Harris videos too explaining all the aggressive actions the US is taking and has taken near China and around the world.

I also would love to see a Chinese produced but fully translated to English (and other languages) like history of the communist party in China. Fuck it, history of the world, just produced by Chinese citizens with an eye towards worldwide public consumption. Sort of like the BBC produces. Pump the propaganda directly into my veins and straight to my brain. Counter the liberal narratives

They do, but it gets deplatformed pretty quickly. There’s one called 起底工作室 China Unlocked, produced by China Daily that puts out short vids about China issues, usually media spats or hot topics.

They were recently ‘deboonked’ as fake news for using software to smooth out and de-accent (well, ‘correctly’ accent) their speech.

Yep, so one of the two hosts’ un-edited English is Chinese-accented. Perfectly fine and understandable. But their producers applied an accent filter over the top to smooth out pauses and give it a slight British accent, presumably to make it more intelligible for overseas audience. The other host has a slightly American accent post-editing but I don’t know if she spoke differently before.

The articles attacking the studio were completely proportionate and said stuff like they’re creating ‘AI propaganda’.

You can find their stuff re-uploaded by others if you search ‘起底工作室 China Unlocked’ on YouTube. China Daily still has its own account there too.

They have a cool documentary on the long march that is subtitled and free on youtube. I’d love more stuff like that freely available.

80% of polled Americans believe the labor camps have been defunded and consistently cite the defunding as the cause for nearly any social or economic problem
