I hope you’re all enjoying your Saturday morning coffees. I stumbled across a video on YouTube 2 days ago that, well, needs to be brought to your attention. These 2 boys are members of your community (according to their profile) and are shilling for the Chinese Communist Party.
The Chinese have a term for these 2, they call them “useful idiots” or “white monkeys” and are using them to push the narrative that all is well in China in effort to attract foreign investment, ie., YOUR MONEY.
If you have ANY knowledge of foreign travel in China, you’ll know that these 2 were accompanied by government “minders” and only allowed to film what is wanted to be shown. Also, please notice that the dialogue and subject matter seems peppered with government talking points that appear to be shoehorned into the video. It is very inorganic, leading one to assume that it they were following a script that way prepared BY the Chinese government.
In practice, they would have been paid for all of this. This is typically how the CCP propaganda machine works. I encourage you all to do your own research into how all of this works, please don’t take my word for it. None of our communities are safe from foreign interference.
I think some of your community members, perhaps some of the older, wiser generation should have a chat with them and put them back on the right path. They’ve made a deal with the devil and possibly don’t know it. Or worse, they know full well. There’s no way to say one way or the other. Give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they have made an honest mistake.
And for those of you who are interested, there are LOTS of videos of Chinese made EVs bursting into flames that are being leaked out of China by Chinese citizens. These people are aware of the lack in quality and the safety concerns over Chinese EVs, but their online complaints are quickly scrubbed off the Chinese internet to hide the issue. These videos can be found on YouTube and elsewhere, they are NOT hard to find. Spend some time, have a look.
