Brainwashing was to keeping the dull USA citizens from knowing about the progress of the Chinese civilization.

The actual brainwashing was directed at keeping the dull of mind USA citizens from knowing about the progress of the Chinese civilization. Just keep them fixated on the American Dream. It succeeded beyond doubt, with the idea that China was still backward, stifling, producing cheap junks, poverty stricken and living in slums compared to the American Dream.

The opening up of China did wonders to counter the perception. The experience of foreigners living, working and visiting China and the use of social media to say their piece was another plus point. Most were positive feedback but always being accused of being paid by the CPC to say the good things about China. Even if true, what about the USA Government spending US$300 million each year to manufacture fake news about China and spreading them to the MSM that they controlled? Double standard practices as always!

The visa-free extension to foreign visitors to visit and see the real China was another measure to counter the propaganda machine of the USA. Besides giving free counter measuring services against the USA propaganda machine, China also earned revenue from such foreign visitors spending in China. It was a win-win situation. There were actually calls initially by USA politicians to curb the flow of USA visitors to China. We know the USA is afraid to let the cat out of the bag over the fabricated brainwashing carried out over the decades that will be consequential. Talk about all the fake freedoms existing in the beacon of democracy.

Then there was the case of banning Tik Tok which gave rise to the massive migration of USA users of Tik Tok to Rednote that was to backfire badly on the USA Government, with USA citizens now finding out the real living conditions of Chinese in China using Rednote. Now, the genie is really out of the bottle and no way to put it in again.

Recently, China is raising another problem for the USA with Xi inviting a hundred thousand USA students to study in China. It may be an innocent call, but the USA and the West are already panicky and nervous about the move. The Western MSM is already taking pot shots at the idea, using the National Security Issue as always. Soon, there may be legislation to prevent such students from going to China to study. It is to be expected. Not necessary to keep fingers crossed that it will not happen.
