In all seriousness after getting addicted to reading Liu Cixin (who the PRC seems to fully support) Ive found myself occasionally wondering how much of what I think about China and it's oppressive surveillance state could possibly be ambient US propaganda or anti propaganda.
But then again the only friend I have that speaks Chinese and has visited China for work multiple times backs most of it up.
More of a thought experiment but getting hooked by clickable title here stirred it up again in my head.

Most of the online discussion centered around China is just US domestic political projection using an imaginary China as a mirror, or as a counterfactual which doesn't exist, and then there's the obvious propaganda too.
