As a Chinese-American, sadly I can confirm that in my experience, most Chinese-Americans are pretty brainwashed by Western propaganda and hate/are ashamed of China or being Chinese at some level. Personally, I love and support China and the government but I'm afraid to openly admit that. Once I just simply said "I got friends in China" and a (History) teacher whipped his head around and screamed "WHAT!?!" And gave me the most evil glare. I've had a college professor literally tell the class that Chinese people have no concept of love.

I don't know how internalized the propaganda actually is for Chinese Americans, or if they're just simply afraid of vocalizing support of an "enemy" country while knowing that every person surrounding you has an insane irrational hatred of China and all chinese people and literally want blood.

The plea deal probably: agree to be an imperial propagandist or die in a mysterious accident.

It sounds like they're not just admitting to this, but admitting to creating thousands of accounts on all US controlled social media platforms since 2001 to influence everyone.

Why are they admitting this?

Why is Reuters claiming that propagandizing Americans was not allowed when, I believe, the patriot act gave them permission to do just that? And it's very obvious lots of users on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube etc all glow so bright you could light a city?

I feel this is sort of a damage control thing. Admitting to something they perceive as less horrible (with lame justifications) in order to continue hiding the larger campaign being performed on the English speaking internet. Like a sort of "ok we're bad, we did this thing and we admit it, there is nothing else we're hiding ok?"

I recall operation songbird (?) was this exact thing?

I don't have any sources, just what I remember. So please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Also why is the military the ones doing this? Does the CIA outsource their dumber operations to the military?

And once again why are they even admitting to any of this?

I won't survive and that's fine with me, I've lived long enough. I want to take a couple formerly-rich parasites out with me though. Leave the place better off than when I arrived.

If I could, I would move to a communist country though.

Honestly surprised Hawaii is so low. Maybe it's because so many of the native Hawaiians and locals got pushed out.

I don't want to be in this country

Every day I daydream about moving to China. There are too many barriers to making that dream a reality though. I wouldn't want to make my SO feel isolated and illiterate. If only there was a socialist country that primarily spoke English.

They're priming their audiences. They've been suggesting that a Chinese economic collapse would directly cause an American depression.

That's what they've decided to go with to deflect blame once the panic of another American depression hits. The bourgeoise knows the general audience is racist enough to accept those evil Chinese commies are causing their problems no matter how many backflips the logic has to do for it to connect. They're scared to accept blame, they're scared it won't work out like 2008 where they all got off scott free so they need to sow the seeds of their alibis before it happens.

I expect them to publish a bunch of totally fabricated stories about China collapsing and pulling America down with them once America sinks into a depression. Better to scapegoat an entire country and allow citizens to take out their rage on the Chinese ethnic minority living in America than to take an ounce of blame. Hmmm sounds familiar.

I didnt watch the video but had it pop up in my recommended.

Japan and Korea I feel on some level create things with the knowledge that it will be exported and consumed by ally nations and propped up by weeaboos and koreaboos.

I don't think China really needs to export their media. They have a huge domestic market, they don't need western countries in order to succeed. I feel that most Chinese media is made for domestic audiences and therefore they don't need to create things with westerners in mind. For example square enix will make a video game set in basically medieval Europe (FFXVI) starring primarily westerners. China does not need to do that. It doesn't need international critical acclaim for media. So they can make films that focus on Chinese stories like "Better Days".

Also because the intended audience is domestic, a lot of the media created is pretty niche. For example something focused on a businesswoman that speaks Shanghai dialect at home.

Most media creators there just don't need that international market to succeed and so there is no push to export. The west is so rabid in their brainwashed anti China hate that they would reject anything from China except for small pockets of the population so there is no demand for Chinese media either.

Try pirating some smaller Chinese films, you'll see how difficult it is to get one with English subtitles.

Some media recommendations with easy to find English translations

films: Better Days

White Snake (3d animated movie)

Webnovel: Daoist Gu

Novel: Three Body Problem

Series: Link Click Three Body Problem Countless BL romances that American AO3 Tumblr types gush over

Games: most of the ones I would like have no English translations. But I've played a few like Gujian where it's fun but not my type of game.

Mobile/gacha games(I don't like mobile games) Genshin Honkai star rail

Also Chinese devs have been killing it with apps.

I hope I don't come off as stupid and naive, but I support the antiwork/workreform movements on Reddit. Yes, most of them are American redditor neoliberal reactionaries, however as a whole I think they have some small material effect on destabilizing the system. America is like a collapsing building with a few crumbly pillars holding the whole thing up and antiwork/workreform types are at least wacking at those pillars and I feel like a ton of them are voicing M and ML ideals without knowing it. I think a ton of them could eventually be brought to the left with some guidance.
