This is a "problem" I don't want fixed. China communicates like an intelligent introvert; the strong, silent, show-not-tell type. Most people are idiot blabbermouths who believe whatever is fed to them most at the loudest volume.Foreign Propaganda has never been a forte of the CCP. It's one area they are worse than even amateurs like India. Lol it's so bad that it's not even worth watching to be honest, especially the state sponsored ones like CGTN, CCTV .Lol Anyway, I dont think they should even waste money on that, since they are not good at it. They should just save money and focus on other areas. Leave that to private players who dont actively try to do this, but inadvertently do in a better way while going about their business. Tech companies have done a good job so far.
Russia by contrast is an expert in this domain. They actually even turn many European countries citizens and politicians in their favor despite waging a full scale war against Europe. You even find their propaganda resonate well in Africa where the population has turned very pro Russian/Putin with wag er spreading their influence there as well..etc
China declares it intends to eradicate poverty. 10 years later, China presents a chart showing a 98% drop in poverty in China. Mic drop, walk away. 80% of the foreigners out there can't read a chart, some big mouth yells, "Yo, that chart's going down! That means China's economy's in trouble!" They all clap and think China failed. That's because they're pathetic, not because China's bad at anything.
Trump declares he will erase the trade deficit and crush China's economy. 2 years later, the trade deficit is higher and China's economy has grown 5-6% each year unperturbed. Trump's cabinet of morons goes, "China's economy is struggling on the brink of collapse and our trade deficit was addressed like never before; we've never been in a stronger position. God bless President Trump." Rednecks who have no idea how to check anything believe what's fed to them and crack open the 30 case of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
I don't ever want China to become like number 2. Stay us; stay the one with many achievements but few words.
