Review: The Truth About China: Propaganda, patriotism and the search for answers
The Truth About China: Propaganda, patriotism and the search for answers by Bill BirtlesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Good easy to read book. Nothing that I don't already know about what and how China controls the media so controls the population. With technological advance, using its economic power to silence foreign countries, China's power seems limitless. The brutality in its management of dissenting voices effectively silences any opposition - within and outside the country. It is worrying that people within the country are so completely shielded from opposing views, that they are developing true beliefs that other countries/ people / the west, are just picking on China, cementing the antiwest sentiment.
It is difficult to see how the situation can be changed. Quite frankly I do not see Australia to have any hope of standing up to the economic power China wields. The dark control of China seems inevitable to grow. I hope to find a book that provides some hope soon...
