Comment on TikToker’s trip to China: The influencer or the influenced? - How Beijing's network of influencers across various platforms try to shape narratives on issues critical to its foreign policy
I don’t think either are good, but it’s funny how it’s bad when the other guy is doing it.
Both are bad, doing propaganda because the other side is doing it too only makes things worse, and people defending China because the US does it (or vice-versa) are bootlicking whataboutists.
Thank you for calling this out. I’m disgusted by these people creeping out of the woodwork any time a dictatorship is being called out.
