      Christ, this has to be a deliberate effort to present China negatively. Makes you wonder how the process looks when the decision making is going on. As well, whether the opposite happens for stories which they might want to show favourably, with additional saturation or whatnot.

        There’s a famous book that goes into the details of this process, you may have even heard of it, Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

          Ironic that western governments seem to use that book as an instruction manual, and yet all the CHUDs who screech about it insist that every single one of the US’s enemies are exactly like the book.
