I don’t agree with their Uyghur genocide, but here we are.
Yeah it’s a pretty wild claim.
China agreed when they funneled weapons and funds to Iran then Gaza leading up to the music festival attack. China agreed when they vetoed the ceasefire agreement with release of hostages, the only ceasefire the USA would sign off on. China agreed when Iran and Syria were waging war on their own peoples.
China didn’t seem to mind funding and arming extremist militants in Pakistan to attack Pakistan and India. China’s got its fingers in so many pies I’m actually astonished that they’re not on good terms with the Taliban in Afghanistan, I guess they didn’t see a need to support that one particular bloody revolution.
And hey, I don’t like Israel either, Netanyahu should have died and Rabin should have lived in the good timeline, but we can’t support red fascists even if we don’t like the blue ones.
We need to stop repeating CIA propaganda on Lemmy

Everything bad that my government does is only alleged by america

I don’t think the CIA would waste time countering Chinese propaganda like this, stats show propaganda is most effective when targeting people who already lean your way with confirmation bias and least effective when confronting skeptics or critics.
Everything that the news tells us is at least partially propaganda.
I consider propaganda to be lies paid for by the state to further its own interests. Maybe the Chinese news is mostly propaganda by that definition, but not Europe and the west, and certainly not random internet commentators who say “Fuck China.”
That’s a very narrow definition of propaganda. Corporations can serve propaganda to further their own interests.
In the context of a discussion about the CIA and Chinese, I don’t think corporations are really relevant. There aren’t really corporations large enough to compete on a global stage, though they can operate together with an oppressive government.
I think to say that Google and Amazon don’t have more geopolitical sway than some countries is naive.
I don’t agree with them harassing countries in the South China Sea.
