If China is so great, why the constant need for propaganda?

If China is so bad, why the constant need for propaganda?

Ultimately, all media pushing a narrative is propaganda. Propaganda isn't bad in and of itself, it can be used to push good messaging and good information. The reason why there's strong pushes for pro-China sentiment from the left is because right now, in the west, the majority sentiment is anti-PRC based on US State Department narratives.

I see way more "China is good"-propaganda than any other nation or group of nations

Edit: they are also quick to downvote, delete my comment or ban me when I write things like this

Have you ever seen a super cut on YouTube of 50 US news stations literally repeating the exact same line over and over and over again?

Depends on the space you're in.
