This is joke right?

Cyberpunk devs took 6 million from EU to develop AI in games and this turned out to be the worst open world game of all time...

All hype zero substance and not even scripted AI

Jep game was a shit show and probably still is, I did enjoy playing and finishing it because of the atmosphere.

The wandering earth movie was kind of good, not worse or better then your western Sci fi movie.

I mean there's not much China can do. I'm not sure if going sensationalist is to the long term advantage.

You could create the Ministry of Zhao Lijian to do PR blitzes.

But really actions speak louder than words. Eventually people will realize China ain't so bad. It's just that it's going to take another ten years for it to happen.

China wasn't born with a forked tongue. I don't think it should be forking its clean tongue.

Plus China is disadvantaged by having to lug its pair of hundred pound balls of titanium everywhere it goes

Well. Tom Fowdy perhaps deserved some heat for criticising CGTN and Chinese media, abit too harshly. But his criticism does have a point.

The Chinese media doesn't need to become like India's. But they can follow the Russian example. The Russian media is not 100% free as RT likes to boast about. But they have a way of portraying themselves as 'free'.

The no. 1 problem for the Chinese media is presentation. Their content has far more truths than the Western MSM. But their presentation is quite amaturerish. Making it look quite often like cringeworthy propaganda.

As I've said in a post some time ago. Chinese media lectures the message to their viewers. But the Western media leads their viewers to the message. Hence the Western media looks far more organic, even when they are telling you straight up lies. This is a problem of the production. Not the Chinese propaganda.

CGTN might need to bring in an Editor from a more established media like SCMP. Screen that person and ensure that he/she tows the party line. Then allow the Editor to do his/her work with the production team to come out with more professional level propaganda.

Some might criticise this as hypocritical. But which national news media in the world is ever truly free? They all have a state to serve first.

Look at Al Jazeera and that's what CGTN needs to emulate .

Tom Fowdy can criticize Chinese policy all he wants as an independant but not while working for CGTN.

As an insider, it gives his criticism more credence and more fodder for China Haters to smear China.

He should keep his reservations to himself, just like a defending lawyer do not emphasize or let known to the prosecution what is wrong with his client.

Another example would be a sales person do not criticize his product while employed to promote the product.
He can continue to write on China, just not on CGTN payroll.

Because of an inherent weakness of the Chinese political system. It has no room for political or policy dissent or for ventilation even when grievances are genuine.

So when you have such characters they can only ventilate from outside of China and not within unlike in democracies.

Add Western propaganda and their voices get amplified you'd think they are the majority.

It's a cost that China must bear.

But then, why is that guy or any other Chinese weirdos seem to always go to the U.S. and not to other "Democratic" countries in the world since there's a bazillion of them. Perhaps, these types of Ayn Rand radicals are more interested in self-agrandizement, self-promotion and to gain some type of fame and fortune at the cost of their families, communities, and country.

This.

If I went on media and bad mouthed my employer, I'd be fired pretty quickly too.

Got criticisms? Voice them privately if you want continued employment.
