    And the US passed a bill in 2024 dedicating US$1.6 billion (£1.3 billion) to “countering Chinese propaganda” over the next five years.

    The US is just a smol bean protecting its fragile liberal democracy from the bad, mean, no good authoritarian state from making our impressionable youth into Manchurian candidates.

    It’s always double-speak with these people. Obviously this is for propagandizing us against China.
