In all seriousness after getting addicted to reading Liu Cixin (who the PRC seems to fully support) Ive found myself occasionally wondering how much of what I think about China and it's oppressive surveillance state could possibly be ambient US propaganda or anti propaganda.

But then again the only friend I have that speaks Chinese and has visited China for work multiple times backs most of it up.

More of a thought experiment but getting hooked by clickable title here stirred it up again in my head.
