China trains CCP propagandists to spin on online forums
Ming Bao (HK) ^

Posted on 05/29/2005 5:51:48 PM PDT by gregminnows

CCP controls the freedom of information flow by censoring websites, punish those who resists, and now they've got a new formula: introducing CCP propagandists. Today more than 100 propagandists have been specially trained in three provinces to troll on forums and attack those who are critical against the CCP or their beloved motherland. Frequent use of insults, slander, and multiple IDs are common among these groups of propagandists.

I think we had one here recently; but, it wasn't very effective. Propaganda dies quickly when exposed to an informative light.

I guess that explains the ad hominim attacks against anyone who doesn't rubber stamp free trade and/or globalism as being racist.

I support the One China policy.

I only happen to believe that ROC should rule the PRC, not vice versa.

This isn't exactly news. In 2000 I dealt with a Chinese race supremacist that was an avowed admired of Genghis Khan and Atilla the Hun that propounded racist historiography to support his views in an online forum. He would also use multiple online identities, some of which were giving graphic descriptions of cutting people up with razor blades and the like.

I get the impression they are all over the Internet, but not necessarily officially connected with the Chinese government.

"...Chinese race supremacist...?"
Which Chinese invented the airplane?
Which Chinese invented the electric light?
Which Chinese invented the telephone?
Which Chinese first performed open heart surgery?
Which Chinese first ran the four-minute mile?
Which Chinese wrote "Gone with the Wind?"
Which Chinese composed "Oklahoma?"
To be a supremacist, you need to be supreme at something. They're not.

I was thinking the same thing -- DUer's fit well the description of the propaganda machine of the Chinese. Since we know the Clintons sold out to the Chinese, maybe the Chicoms are returning the favor to the Clintons by training their minions to spam conservative sites with their propaganda.

I know -- tin foil hat permanently in place -- blame it on the Clintons is my motto! :)

The Chinese communist leadership is a rotten, filthy piece of sh-t government that has no legitimacy whatsoever!

It might be possible if a person registered from OVER THE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE! Interesting a newbie such as gregminnows already knows how to post articles and threads and was already signed up from the "next day".

Would it possible if a person, registering from OVER THE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE, would show their registration date as being 1 day ahead of most US Freeper postings? Interesting a newbie such as gregminnows already knows how to post articles and threads and was already signed up from the "next day")May 30, though the initial responses were on the previous day(May 29).
Say China is on the other side of the dateline, are they not?

I've always noticed that when newbies sign up, FR's computer system - whatever software or settings they use - sets their date a full day ahead. No idea why.

Was originally titled "Okrahoma". Maybe you missed it.
