Who says China doesn't have ''Democracy and Freedom'' ?

[Telstra]

This is also a misunderstanding of US law.

The US does not have "free speech". The US has a Constitution that prevents the Federal government from making laws regarding the exercise of free speech by its citizens. Private entities which are not part of the US government can constraint or restrict speech as they see fit.

The Chinese Communist Party is not a citizen of the United States and has no right to unrestricted speech in the US.

PBS is not part of the US government and therefore it has the right to reject anything that does not meet its standards.

National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 has a section of a bill formerly known as " Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016". The US Government can legally counter any propaganda produced by a foreign government.

The US has No right to complain about China's internal affairs law then.
However, the US constantly complaining about China's internal affairs are tiresome.

I can see why the US, UK, Canada, Australia are jealous because we cannot compete.
That's why we play the ''human rights and freedoms'' cards.

So America is copying China and create:
The Great Firewall of America.

Oh No .... This is true horror. Who knew this?

 

[ClubLevelVegan]

The irony that US Government thinks it can counter propaganda without looking in the mirror.

Oh No .... This is true horror. Who knew this?

Yep, the US hardly gets any filthier with the literal "use" they make of their "troops". "Support our troops" means "support our imperial need for sucker troopers": one-off job, then throw them down the disposal waste sewer of broken toys.

Exactly: fight your specular reflection and say, "we are the opposite of them".

The video was produced by Telesur.

Telesur is a Latin American terrestrial and satellite television network headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela and sponsored primarily by the government of Venezuela, with additional funding from the governments of Cuba and Nicaragua...

Critics have argued that Telesur works as a propaganda network for the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, and provides coverage that focus only on information that may benefit or harm a government, according to its political alignment. La Patilla stated that Telesur "insistently pointed out through reports that in Venezuela there is no humanitarian emergency, scarcity or general crisis" and "dismissed the exodus of millions of Venezuelans in search of a better life".

According to the Argentinian website Infobae, during a large demonstration in Argentina in December 2017 against policies proposed by center-right Argentine President Mauricio Macri (who previously denounced human rights abuses in Venezuela), Telesur "omitted the attack on uniforms and the large number of injured policemen (...) and also omitted that protagonist of one of the incidents was pre-candidate to deputy for a left party, Santiago Sebastian Romero". While "there were demonstrations in Venezuela against the economic policies of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in the same year, that ended with 100 deaths, thousands of arbitrary detentions and injured people. In those cases, Telesur praised the Venezuelan National Guard and the Bolivarian National Police, accused the demonstrators of being related to the United States, and considered Maduro's government as a promoter of peace".

In October 2018, Telesur anchor Daniela Vielman resigned from the network, releasing a statement saying that staff employed by Telesur are "treated as if they were working in a political party" and that Venezuelan employees were paid in low-value Venezuelan bolívars compared to their foreign counterparts who were being paid in US dollars.

Can Cretan liars ever say some truth?

Can Cretan liars ever say some truth?

A paradox of self-reference?

The thing about propaganda is that it's never lies. It's a smattering of truth viewed through lenses so distorted as to make it almost unrecognizable. It only takes a useful idiot willing to put on the lenses.

No, propaganda is never about what is said, not even about who is saying it: it's all about against whom it is being said whatever.

''Democracy and Freedom'' ?
They have their ''own style'' of democracy and Freedom without failed electoral system.
Don't understand what they are talking about but i'm sure its about the US trying to oppose in every way possible and they have ''freedom'' to discuss it on TV to the public.

I also know this crocodile tears from the main media.
This is way way better than Guantanamo center.

you have nothing to say but make fun of crocodiles ?

Crocodile tears again.
Since you care so much about them, have you send $1 to them yet ?? Zero dollar sent.
Shame on you.

Also these people you mentioned are very happy right now living in China.
Unlike the homeless in the UK and US living miserable lives.

To be fair, Chinese people are non ideological, they don't care about which system of government as they as they live a good life.
Also, the US or Aus has the whole continent with less people, they saw the opportunity to move to the places with less people.

I bet with all the asian hate thing, they might be thinking of moving away if possible.

Uighurs persecution is FALSE. Falun Gong is a cult.
And this cult own the Epoch Times. Backed by CIA.

sure thing Mr and who wrote or backed this?
The CIA !!!

Also i have looked at the References unloadonme.
ALL anti china organizations US or UK or western backed propaganda.

Of course i agree with you, i stand by harmless religions.
But Falun Gong is not harmless !!!

wow wow wow, this is propaganda of course, but who wouldn't want this?
They are living much much better than the native of Australia, US or Canada !!! think about it:

That shows how brainwashed you are Kara and know NOTHING about China. Nothing at all.
For your information, the US PBS has produced a documentary about China's poverty alleviation programs but didn't broadcast it to the American public because of political pressure or CIA pressure.

I cannot speak Mandarin, so it is not going to work

I used to respect the BBC, but not anymore.
BBC is the mouth piece of the UK government and bend over backwards to the US government.

So the US is famous for ''freedom of speech, freedom of thoughts .... etc''
What are they afraid of for such a tame documentary ??

The US has No right to complain about China's internal affairs law then.
