The HK putsch failed because the pro-western terrorists were quickly apprehended and either exiled or given long prison sentences.
Uprisings in the west aren't given any air to breath, like the Canadian trucker protests or the Dutch farmer protests right now. Propaganda is the only thing the west is good at, giving them a free hand is suicide.
China shouldn't promote socialism/communism because of the negative connotations and falling into the western narrative that China is trying to spread its "governance system" to other country, instead they should adopt a different slogan like "common prosperity", "Shared future for mankind" and "Asian century" to spread their cause.I mean yea, but at least having some voice will help.
What's more by having some voice and promoting socialism/communism it can get actual local people to organise and stand up against CIA orgs/influence.
Although a problem with this, is that it will go against the local elite.
Maybe China could try fund this through NK as some kind of 'proxy', to not be seen as interventionist.
Russia's Blockage Of Ukrainian Grain Exports Contributed To Sri Lanka Turmoil, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Moscow says it would allow Ukrainian ships loaded with food products to leave if Ukraine's military demined the waters off Odesa and other ports.
But Kyiv says it can't demine the coast because Russia would "use grain corridors to attack southern Ukraine."
I see Chinese getting finessed Taiwanese scammers in Mandarin all the time so I don't know if that's betterEasy to be scammed by foreigners if you knew English.
US blames Sri Lankan crisis on Russia
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed that “Russian aggression” may have contributed to the unrest
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed on Sunday that “Russian aggression” in Ukraine may have been partly to blame for the turmoil in Sri Lanka. The island nation has been in a state of unrest for several months, with food and fuel in short supply and prices skyrocketing. It escalated on Saturday as thousands of protesters stormed the president’s residence, forcing him to flee.
I don't know why you think anyone who is fluent in English would automatically be brainwashed by the West.English space is filled with pro-capitalist and pro-imperialist media/voices though, so even if the language is 'neutralish' learning english can have people get fooled.
With that said, China really needs to improve it's education, especially on socialism/communism as well as the grim realities of capitalism and (neo-)imperialism.
The main issue is the lack of marketing. China is doing a lot to help out other developing countries. But these positive contributions are not being promoted enough in the media. So lots of people living in those countries aren't aware of it. Meanwhile, anti-China propaganda like "debt trap", "China is taking over", etc. are blasted all over the front page and have tons of likes/retweets on social media.Finally, I thought of the soft-power and image problem for a while, and I think the initiative must start from the domestic population, their corporation and us, to foster people to people relation and connections. The government can only do so much to promote their image.
Nah, but it would result in some people being brainwashed (they already exists in China and in chinese media, some of them are paid shills though, although at the end of the day, they are quite the annoyance).I don't know why you think anyone who is fluent in English would automatically be brainwashed by the West.
Yes, but there's also plenty that have ended up being brainwashed by the west, this is a fact.Indians have not taken the west's side on the Ukrainian conflict despite access to English media. Africa which which has unfettered access to Western mainstream media and social media platforms are pro Russia/China and anti imperialists.
Then what's the case of Sri Lanka?Yes a few can be fooled but the overwhelming majority know the truth and would never be swayed by cheap state department approved talking points.
Kind of agree.China infact needs an English speaking army that can take on American journalists on any platform and own them like this Ghanaian MP did. Go through the comments.
