I am not suggesting China to take offensive in PR war, let alone to fight an ideological war with the US beyond the borders.

But, within China, there are still battles to win the minds and hearts. As I said in one of my previous posts, even with the approval rate of 90% or 95%, there are still tens of millions unhappy mainland Chinese. And you mentioned HK, TW and XJ.



I found it quite interesting that you and some others keep saying that China cannot win the PR war with the US and/or the west. Why is that? CPC won the PR war with KMT. Even if CPC has stopped exporting its communism ideology, it still has PR battles to fight within China and it must not lose. What happened in 1986 and 1989 are clear examples of compaigns on minds and hearts followed by physical sabotages and riots by the west.

Also, you and some others seem to suggest that, if China is to fight back in the PR war, China would necessarily go down the path of the western media and to start doing evils. Why is that?

The hard lesson over the last 18 months has been that you can't win the PR war as long as you don't control platforms.

Your YouTube channel with 5 million followers can be shadow banned or deleted in an instant and so can all your social media pages. Don't even talk about Wikipedia where you pages are edited from Langley

You have got a news app with millions of downloads? It just takes an article on Bloomberg to manufacture consent and it is removed from the App and Play stores.

China's control of platforms at home is why it is very difficult for western Intel agencies to run and win propaganda there.

The same is true for western control of platforms in the rest of the world.

That's why the Huawei and Tiktok battles are very important. Their success means the success of Chinese platforms worldwide and building a PR machine on top of them is a breeze

You are of course right. Who has the platform has the floor. However, within China who has the platforms? Then why the authority is still incompetent and inert in PR?

And you probably did not read all my posts on the issue. I did not for once suggest that China need to fight the PR war beyond its border precisely because China does not control those platforms.

Truly tragic. My condolences to Li Keqiang's family. May he rest in peace.

A good man who helped build China this past decade.

Li worked incredibly hard to protect jobs by easing the financial pressures on small businesses and increasing their access to credit. His work touched so many livelihoods and it really saddens me that he died so soon after retiring.

This got to change, this attitude of self sacrifice and working hard for the people. We are in the 21st century, we should modernized and follow the West to do some 360 politics. ;)

You could tell that he was unwell and maybe was afflicted with something serious based on the fact that he was losing weight, and seemingly to have aged overnight. Most of the people thought he was simply stressed out from his role as an expert during China's battle with Covid-19.

May he rest in peace, and thank you sir for your massive contributions to the Chinese people and country you served with dignity, poised, and sacrifice.
