Is it true? Is it propaganda? If it's true then Why are they doing this?

    what you said sounds kind of condescending tbh i don’t get the thread of logic behind the context itself and I’m not sure why you jumped to consent manufacturing because a policy seems pretty bad.

      Not trying to be condescending, sorry if it came across that way. I realize we both know our media/journalism is filtered through the US state. The majority of the articles on this topic when it first showed up a week or so ago were extremely narrow in their reporting and alarmist, which is what raised a red flag for me.

      I’m discussing manufacturing consent in terms of the general aims of the American state when it comes to the information pushed towards us. We’ve all seen examples of that in American journalism, especially over the last 5 years around China.
