It's amazing that the NGO-media-policy industrial complex can make a non-issue into a genocide involving one million err I'm sorry three millions Uighurs going through reeducation camp aka internment aka concentration camp plus forced labor plus sexual slaves. They have been quite successful judging from how brainwashed the western population and politicians on this. What kind of diplomacy would China have to deploy against such an odd? I would say they're doing not too bad giving the odds.
There's no excuse for the atrocious track record of Chinese diplomacy and its media against these lies. One can simply compare 3-5 minute videos by the likes of Max Blumenthal and Ajit Singh of The Greyzone. They have next to no funding, no team, etc. Why are they so effective? They get to the point and they expose the hypocrisy, fake ngo Trojan Horses, fake news/propaganda, destroy the perceived credibility of Western "news", crimes and standard operating procedure of the Western imperialists.
Now, compare that to Chinese media like CGTN. It is long winded pointless rambling for close to 30 minutes. When I finish watching their shows, I feel like I wasted time. I learn next to nothing and most importantly, I don't even get the sense that the West is using terrorism or spreading lies against China. Chinese media/communication are awful.
I'll give specific examples of how utterly useless Chinese media is
Example 1
The Greyzone refers to Adrian Zenz as a right Christian homophobic fanatic.
Chinese media refers to Adrian Zenz as a researcher.
The Chinese have a chance to instantly annihilate his credibility but they act like his PR agent instead.
Example 2
The Greyzone refers to Western propaganda as propaganda, lies or, disinformation.
Chinese media refers to Western propaganda as misunderstandings or incorrect information.
Once again, Chinese media act like the PR agency for Western terrorists by using euphemisms to downplay Western criminality.
Example 3
The Greyzone refers to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as the CIA's arm to overthrow democracies.
The Chinese media refers to National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as an ngo.
I hope I don't need to repeat myself here.
Keep in mind, some people will write excuses about how it's about funding, global reach, etc. It's nonsense. CGTN has millions of followers/subscribers. That's enough. They have a giant budget. They should have an army of researchers and programmers who can organize its content.
I have only scratched the surface. If China wants to survive and defeat Western imperialists then these excuses need to stop. Secondly, they should learn how to perform the most basic media functions instead of acting like a pr agency for their enemies.
