Don't underestimate the nationalism of young Chinese.

And I very much doubt the CP is going to go after administrators who on-the-whole moderate with a pro-Beijing slant because they took 5 minutes too many to delete a comment.

Making assumptions that all young people hate the CP and would betray their country to the west at first opportunity sounds like one of those classic mistakes the West makes when it projects it's own sensibilities onto the world.

Most outsiders probably do not realize the impact of 24/7 propaganda in every media channel there is. That's what OP is overlooking, and that's ultimately what this action is ultimately about...

Just like we underestimate our propaganda. When you are inside the soap bubble, it's very hard to realize how much our brain have been washed.

Seriously, most outsiders can't even see the propaganda in their own media. How do you expect them to see it in other countries?

Chinese propaganda at the moment is really amateurish. Just wait until they learn from the best [1].
