Is "China Television" a specific channel or did the author mean to write Chinese Television? I'm too poor to read the article

Edit: The article is talking about the Zero Tolerance docuseries made by CGTN. idk what's up with the headline, is it improper to use adjectives in titles?

    Unrelated to this, I've always found it amusing when the western media use the communist emblem in order to make the communist party seem super powerful. When they show them, they always use the communist symbol and it's weirdly artistic. That makes me feel powerful too, since the communists fight for people like me!

    edit : The more people realize their position as workers in their country and the world, the more they will see this propaganda technique for what it is. It will only empower the working class in the end, in my opinion.

    It is likely the western media will eventually turn its back on this tactic and portray them as incompetent and disorganized. It's obvious what the propaganda technique is if you Google “China cpc” and look at the images.

    I remember good ol' times in Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito when workers lived like kings, no more and no less good than their fellow comrades in the Party. And the same can be seen throughout the countries that adopted communism at some point in their history. Common folk always had the lifestyle and privileges same as distinguished Party members. Even if you weren't member of the Party or were voicing your displeasure with Party's politics, you would live a long and prosperous life.

    You people both insist that communism is "when everyone's paycheck is the same" and also "communism is when a rich elite rules over everyone else."

    Which is it? You can never make up your minds. It's almost like you're just regurgitating ideas someone else stuffed into your head without thought.

    Who needs critical thought when you have racism and xenophobia. You can get westerners to believe anything about foreigners and domestic minorities.

    Watch In The Name of the People.

    It's a Chinese cop show, but instead of poor black people like in Amerika, they hunt down corrupt party officials and bourgeois scum circumventing Chinese law. It's amazing and available for free with English subs on YouTube.

    You know what I hate about the term "corrupt"? Part of the meaning is "not working the way it's intended" and I find that funny because only in a communist country does the term " corrupt politician" actually coincide with the way in which the west uses it.

    To explain, the west likes to say " corrupt politician" as a way to describe someone taking bribes from corporations and ather big money and oligarchs. Except this is a capitalist system. The government is supposed to work that way, but the oligarchy doesn't want you to know that. So they use all these false narratives to make you THINK that you are living in a society that is supposed to work for the working man, but as we know, it doesn't.

    The funny thing is, in this instance, they are actually using the term the right way. An actual corrupt politician in China is one that's in bed with the the big business and the capitalist class and I think that the wests narrative is starting to show.

    This article almost looks as if they are hinting that demonizing the corrupt politicians and businesses is bad because by a capitalists system, the "corrupt" are actually the ones doing what they were always supposed to be doing. Fucking over the proletariate to benefit the capitalist.

    Does this make sense? lol
