On: Ask HN: How to combat propaganda?

As a Chinese, I feel exactly the same way as your friend does.

The Chinese government thinks they can lie however they want to its people and to the outside world, because there are language and internet barriers.

For example, they claimed to be neutral regarding the ongoing war, but they are spreading pro-war misinformation via state owned media, and teaching pro-war ideologies at school.

People now are trying to translate their lies through the big translation movement To expose their evil doings . https://twitter.com/tgtm_official

And it worked, they winded down the pro-war education plan, at least publicly.

As a European i have no problems with the individual Russian or Chinese citizen, it's entirely the government that's the problem.

The Chinese government wants to be able to take over Taiwan some day, so they can't send a signal that Russia is doing the wrong thing in Ukraine.

It's some progress that the people are trying to stop the pro-war plans.

But i guess stopping the extreme COVID lockdown strategy is out of reach.
