“The US government will spend $1.5 billion in the next 5 years to train the western media and journalists to write exclusive negative stories about China. This is the end of free media.”

Their control over western media and is influenced are the real weapons in the Cold War. My question is how dose China respond and out maneuver this type of US attack.

Western media is very encompassing and I haven’t seen any good response form China thus far. Eg. They accuse huawei of spying for the CCP but they it’s revealed that the NSA put backdoors into juniper systems software for spying and I don’t hear a peep. China and Other countries media such as RT should be blaring this all over their media and social media. Why haven’t they done so?

I'm sure the US has been funding negative stories for China since decades. It definitely ramped in 2016. The negative bent towards stories about China has always been with us. I'm more curious as to why they're doing it so blatantly. Perhaps, it is a way to spite China. ''It is me Uncle Sam that has been funding shit talkers about you.''

All that money that could have gone into helping the people of the USA. They can preach all the crap they like but if the poverty levels where everyone is out for blood, no lies are going to help save the nation. If there are no cheap goods or food or water or shelter for the ordinary people yet billions of dollars is focused on shit posting on China for 5 years, well why would China bother to do anything but let the inflation and shit posting do the job of disintegrating the USA for them. The wisest people are the ones that say little and right now the USA has said too much. On the surface, it would seem the media has China on the ropes but the reality of the rising poverty, inflation and infrastructure falling down everywhere in the USA shows otherwise.
the lesson one can learn here is that lies cannot build not fix a nation, what has Biden accomplished for the last half of a year that is worth something?

Sorry, too late to edit, his correct name should be: Danish scholar Jan Oberg, one of the authors and the co-founder of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research.

The western media's negative coverage of China has gradually formed an "accusation industry" which poses a threat to free media and public discussion, according to a recent article titled "Behind the Smokescreen: An Analysis of the West's Destructive China Cold War Agenda and Why it Must Stop." Danish scholar Jan Oberg, one of the authors and the co-founder of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research, shared his views in an interview.

Yes but I still have yet seen a credible China push back or fight in this domain of warfare. Western media has influence in other countries eg Europe, some ASEAN countries, India, and perhaps Africa. I understand that it’s hard for China to compete in the English language against western media but should put up more of a fight in other counties as well. Why can’t China have an RT like network, or Al Jazeera like network. Analytical in depth news, that looks free but is still state controlled ?? Always baffles me as to why they haven’t done that yet? Is it lack of ability?

It wouldn't matter; China is feared because it is China, because westerners have a superiority complex about Asians and will always disregard whatever chinese media/spox et al say unless it comes from a white source.
That's simply the nature of the anglo led world we live in, a holdover of the racist western dominated world of the past.

The End of Free Media? Where was the beginning?


Back in 2011 I recall Hillary bringing up "freedom of speech on the Internet" to scold and lecture China at every chance and oppurtunity...

Who would have thought within a decade US would censor and deplatform its own sitting President and that many of those US articles critizing China for Internet censorship have themselves been purged from Internet Archive.... When the Wikipedia founder comes out and admits his creation is now subverted by CIA, you know they jumped the shark

US fucked up by pushing the ''Xinjiang genocide narrative''. They went so high at the start. Now, every negative story is gonna feel like a drop in the bucket compared to that.

Its best if China doesn't even react to such visits. These politicians take Chinese reaction as badge of honour, play victims and garner votes back home. Simultaneously they bait China into giving provocative statements against their country itself (as happened with Czech republic) .The result being public opinion becomes extremely negative towards China.

Taiwan invites these politicians on purpose just to goad a reaction out of China & make themselves look like victims and China a bully in the eyes of the European public. All this can be avoided if China just doesn't respond. Like how many of us even knew that some French senators went to Taiwan before this Chinese reaction and the following news article.?

As long as it doesn't lead to actions changing the status quo.
