The Chinese government propaganda department is really pathetic. All their organs like Global Times, CGTN, Xinhua etc. do news like we are in 1921 - stiff and uninspiring. That's why the western media don't even bother about them and sometimes even extract their articles as material for jokes.

Surprisingly it took the foreign expats who stayed there long term to start their own movement through social media to finally get an alternative China message across. Within a few years, these influencers have amassed significant international followers and freak the westerners out to the point they are now publishing multiple hit pieces to paint them as China government funded shills. 

The Chinese bureaucracy really needs to keep up with times. At least try to learn from similar government funded apparatus such as RT and BBC the proper way of doing it in a dramatic and engaging manner.

The Chinese believe in honesty and sincerity and that the truth will triumph eventually. They are not so cunning and despicable as Angmoh media and Angmoh politicians.
