Miscellaneous News

The entire Chinese Internet is systematically broken & polluted. The more I browse videos on Douyin (Chinese Tiktok), the more negative feelings I have. So many fake/exaggerated/unconfirmed news posted by influencer just for click bait, meanwhile comment section is full of hate/ironic speech. A propaganda war is going on under almost all videos, not only between countries (mainly China vs US & the West), but also between major tech giants, genders, and between goverment policies/officials & the public. Sometimes you can't judge a comment is sent from a paid bot or a genuine voice. Meanwhile, the more Tiktok censors, the more inexplicit uncensored content are comming out.

Atmosphere in Chinese social media platforms is no better than that of X or Youtube now.

I'm finding English content on X is more pro-China than Chinese content on Chinese platforms these days. WTF?

Given past examples of extremely suspicious tech fires/probable sabotage, this may indeed be a credible threat.

EDIT: idk how to embed the tweet in my post sorry mods/other users.

Last year a group of 70 students from Duke University visited China on a study trip. They were pestered by state-run media pressuring them to say nice things about China, according to an online account by one disgruntled student. A camera crew, she recalled, “taught me to recite a poem in Mandarin that included the line ‘I love China’.” As any teenager could tell you, China would be much cooler if it did not try so hard.

[If this is true], I think the media, culture, tourism department has a lot to improve.
I think many people in the tourism, media department are very old-schoolers. Fresh minds needed in the age of information and soft power. Just look at official news sites like Xinhua etc., The design of that website is from 2005, I am pretty sure deepseek can build a web design better and more modern than whatever the hell they are using right now.

The inefficiency and institutional rot do show up in one form or another in other parts of the system that needs reform. But it's not being prioritised for obvious reasons. Tourism should be included in China's information/informatize warfare or war of deception a.k.a. soft power to fully nullify the entire Western media and disinformation that's aided by the Jai Hinds unhinged that's unleashed against China

Go to videos about these, then check out the comments, including (especially) bullet comments & normal comment section.

Topic keywords: (For example)
Countries/Regions: Taiwan, Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea
Tech giants: Huawei, Xiaomi, Apple, Nvidia, TSMC, SpaceX [These part has the most nonsense I have ever seen]
Genders: Marriage/Divorce rate, Hotspot sensitive incidents like boys suicide themselves for girls, Girls ask for incredible high living expenses from boys or ask for break up
Govement: GDP/Income growth, Labor law enforcement (workers in a quite range of small factories are forced to suffer from extreme working/living conditions/time, to reduce cost & deal with foreign sactions, however their bosses live very well), Possible official corrupt cases that are in investigation.

To avoid easy censorship, many negative comments are shown in bullet ones, also in an extreme inexplicit/ironic expression, that newcomers are interpreting them as positive ones until read them multiple times.

Also, even in total positive events' comment section, always come out words like "遥遥领先" or "赢麻了", which are totally stigmatized. As soon as these words come out, the comment section becomes a total mess, so intense just like X posts about recent Indo-Pak War.
