in the usa.............
the presidential campaign is propaganda
when politicians talk, it is propaganda
when themes of patriotism and flag flying in the usa, it is propaganda
when the military runs a commerical to get you to sign up, it is propaganda methods they use
when public relations folks speak in front of an audience about their company greatness, it is propaganda
when car commericals for ford, chrysler, gm with couples living the american dream, it is propaganda
when phrases such as these are used by our media class "american exceptionalism", refer to the constitution when running for office (ie. Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, tea party nut-jobs), freedom and liberty, freedom of speech, it is propaganda
I wish the white bubble ethnocentric usa media use the word "propaganda" when discussing american society as it does about the East in which it is ignorant about.
another word referring to the chinese way of doing business as applied by White People Media is "corruption"
" The chinese is corrupt, ie intellectual property violations" and getting government contracts, is often accused by White People Media and western business folks. Is there any such analogy of this in the USA? Yes, it is just called a different word. It is called "lobbying". Yes, it is legal to lobby in the USA. After all, it is just representation of the people, to "listen to the people" wink wink.
The lobbyist write the lobby laws, enacted by congress (the recievers of money from these lobbyiest) and now you can not call giving money to the congressman "corruption" after all it is legal. Folks, this is corruption. It is even worst than corruption because it is legalized. The arrogance of these people is not surprising, they are just being themselves, really high on themselves, because they can be in this moraless society called the land of the free. by the way that phrase "land of the free" is also propaganda.
point being.............when the western powers including USA and their older brother United Kingdom, mainly Britain criticize the Chinese as corrupt and propagandistic, we chinese should smile at them, and laugh at them when they turn their backs.
