644: Laowhy86 | How the Chinese Social Credit Score System Works Part Two

China-Russia Ties

The partnership between China and Russia has evolved into a strategic alliance that extends beyond economic ties. Laowhy86 explains how this relationship has been formalized in doctrine, allowing both nations to support each other's authoritarian regimes without interference 1. This collaboration is evident in China's pro-Russian media stance, where sympathetic posts towards Ukraine are censored, showcasing a unified front in global propaganda efforts 1. Laowhy86 notes, "Russia looked at China's model and said, 'You guys are so good at censorship,'" highlighting the admiration for China's control over information 1.

   

Propaganda Tactics

China's propaganda tactics are strategically designed to influence international perceptions, often using seemingly benign content to build trust before introducing controversial narratives. Laowhy86 describes how travel videos featuring foreigners praising life in China suddenly shift to denying the Uyghur genocide, a tactic mirrored by Russian channels 2. This method creates a personal connection with audiences, making them more receptive to propaganda 2. "The bot accounts that would come and attack me were much more coercive when the topic changed to Russia," he observes, illustrating the sophisticated nature of these campaigns 3.

   

Surveillance State

China's surveillance state is likened to a technologically advanced version of North Korea, where citizens' movements and social status are closely monitored. Laowhy86 shares how the Chinese government uses technology to maintain control, drawing parallels to Stalinist regimes 4. This pervasive surveillance extends to influencing global narratives, as seen in China's manipulation of media and entertainment to align with its political agenda 4. "The biggest form of Asian hate in the entire world is the Chinese government," he asserts, emphasizing the oppressive nature of the regime 4.
