Chinese Citizens Seeing Past the Chinese Regime’s Propaganda

The Epoch Times
The Epoch Times
Many countries have implemented several measures to assist their citizens and their economies during the CCP virus pandemic. The United States has the largest scale economic relief plan of $2.2 trillion. Although many Chinese people are fooled by the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda and believe that Americans are suffering more due to the pandemic, there are many people waking up from the lies.  On April 14, Chinese state-run media outlet Beijing News, tweeted the following headline, ‘Unemployment Sweeping Across the U.S.A.’ The rest of the tweet stated that the unemployment rate has increased drastically in Los Angeles due to the CCP virus pandemic. Drone footage captured many citizens driving to specific places appointed by the government for food relief and vehicles lined up on the highway for many miles. The food relief program was very simple and included some grains, cereals, frozen chicken and one bag of oranges. The tweet was flooded with a lot of criticism such as “The CCP does not even give you the skin of the oranges, the U.S. gives Americans one big bag of oranges!” “The Americans are too honest! We are smarter. The unemployment here in China is zero because we don’t even record it!” “You have no right to criticize Americans because their government is giving benefits to unemployed people and their monetary benefits are more than our monthly wages!” Mr. Li commented online: “The Chinese government bad-mouths the U.S. We, the Chinese people, don’t receive any money but we are also blackmailed. We are even forced to ‘donate’ money when we self-isolate in large hotels for 14 days. $500 yuan per day and that is how the Chinese Communist Party steals money from its people. What an evil regime.” Mr. Hu commented online: “The pandemic involves some political aspects so there are many fake news reports and propaganda.” Mr. Li expressed online: “People line up to get free vegetables in New York. But my friend in Wuhan has to pay 4 to 6 times more for vegetables. Also, the amount of vegetables he can purchase is limited and controlled. The same goes for hospitals. It’s free to get treated in the U.S. but here in China, the CCP charges fees that are a hundred and even a thousand times higher. For example, having I.V. (Intravenous injection) for a day costs more than 1,000 yuan and if you are in the ICU, it is going to cost you more than 10,000 yuan per day.” Mr. Zhang commented online: "Chinese people abroad know what is going on because they are able to receive all sorts of information. In China, it is the opposite. You only know whatever the CCP wants you to know, hence, many Chinese people are being deceived by the CCP.” According to news reports, since the outbreak of the virus in the U.S. in March, the CCP has come up with new ways to try and maintain its political power, such as having Americans influencers who have a wide range of Chinese fans film videos of epidemic centers in the U.S. with both English and Chinese subtitles. These American influencers even hosted live streams for the mouthpiece CCTV and deliberately showed empty shelves in New York City supermarkets. They fooled a lot of people in China by creating a false image of Americans in the abyss of suffering.
