Any western MSM article claiming to be championing Chinese domestic issues are just crying crocodile tears to try to create and magnify grievances within Chinese society. It’s basically the same old imperialist tactic of getting t he locals to fight amongst themselves for no good reason so they are too distracted and divided to resist when the west rolls in and takes whatever it wants.
The FT could not care less about poor Chinese farmers, since it is a paper run by and for the western rich elite.
It is basically cherry picking the most negative comments from Chinese social media (many of which were probably first posted by CIA troll farms and/or CIA operatives posing as Chinese, as we have documented examples aplenty of) to present as the voice of the ‘Chinese people’, with the obligatory comments about doubts about the Chinese ‘political power’ system always making its mandated appearance.
It’s also a bit rich for the west to start nit picking about Chinese aspirational social improvement projects during this year, when they could not even keep their own citizens alive.
The very fact that China has a poverty alleviation programme that has achieved unprecedented success is in stark contrast to the FT’s primary home and targeted audiences in the UK and US, which have seen unprecedented rises in poverty and inequality.
It’s just business as usual propaganda war by the western MSM. No need to get unduly concerned as I have high confidence that the experts in China working on these programmes have far more insight and understanding of the challenges they face, and have spent far more time formulating responses than the hacks at the FT who spent a few days cherry picking statistic and loaded comments would even comprehend.
