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

the phenomenon of Western influencers profiting from spreading Chinese misinformation and disinformation is not new.

There are documented videos of Xinxiang being a bustling prosperous region with luxurious mosques. There are no videos of concentration camps. Instead of calling it misinformation to counter the narrative US empire prefers you to believe, it is not unreasonable for China to try and correct that narrative.

Its not as if western whinning/misinformation comes with any progress metrics for it to stop using it as an excuse to demonize China.
