There is propaganda everywhere but it is about China. They don't tend to bash other countries but keep going on about how good China is. They just ignore everyone else because China is everything.
The US media bashes China all the time but that may just be because I read English news. If you have seen the Chinese equivalent I would like to check it out since I haven't seen that side of China yet.
The Chinese people are strongly nationalistic just like people from the USA (I'm from Australia which is nice ... but not really important). Social media is big over here and people organise boycotts of companies all the time.
You said "state-controlled media puts out massive amounts of propaganda railing foreign firms" and "China is far worse". It should be easy to find one if this is true otherwise it is just "fake news" that gets repeated so often that people think it is true.
It should be easy to find one example.
Limiting searches to xinhuanet.com does yield massive amounts of propaganda, but mostly about how great foreign companies think China is. Maybe I'm just using the wrong search terms, though.
There was the issue about the airlines recently as well. I just skip over those stories but there are a lot of them.
You can see the user responded anyways when I refused to participate. Why didn't they just say that the first time?
Sorry if you thought it was a troll. It sounded like you knew an actual source that I could check out rather than just rumours.
Once your source is provided, those who don't read Chinese can get a little bit help from Google Translate as well, I found its quality to be really good.
