The only ones they're trying to fool are Chinese expats and the scare few Chinese citizens who still have access to the outside internet. Somehow they've managed to sucker in a few western auth-com aspies too.If China was the paradise they make it out to be, then I wouldn't be writing this post in English. Their propaganda tactics are no different from Nazi Germany. According to wumao, if you don't support the Chinese Government, you hate Chinese heritage. The same goes for the Nazi government: say anything bad about them, and they'll try to imply you hate German heritage. It's preposterous. The CCP has no right to take credit for Chinese civilization, especially when they're the ones who destroyed so much of it. No amount of western imperialism could have done as much damage as they did to their own people. They're masters of historical revisionism.
A while ago, my CCP supporter told my dad on facebook that "Why do you have to betray your chinese heritage and pretend to be a white man?
So he replied "Why do you pretend to be a free man?"
I can't imagine how moronic you'd have to be to take footage of one single festival in one single well off area as proof that there is no persecution of minorities nor government suppression in an entire country. It's selective ignorance at its finest. I really don't believe who they're trying to fool here.
