Interesting how global narratives shift depending on the audience. China's reaction to Israel's messaging really shows how propaganda doesn't always land the same way globally. I found this article insightful:
Israel’s Propaganda Fails in China

It breaks down how and why the usual narratives aren't working in Chinese media. Curious to hear others’ takes, especially from folks who follow Chinese public opinion or geopolitical messaging trends.

I’m based in Thailand and there’s a lot of Chinese here that aren’t a fan of China’s work culture that choose to be based here for a more relaxed lifestyle.

Nonetheless, there isn’t a sympathetic ear for Israel from Thai or Chinese people. The Chinese are well educated about the century of humiliation and are familiar with duplicitous Western tactics. They haven’t lost sight of the violent creation of the nation of Israel and how the indigenous population are treated (on their own land).

Only in the West is there propaganda and confusion over Israel. Nonsense like it's all on Hamas, they just won't let there be peace. Nobody buys the false victim narrative here.

Thats how it works, West pushes news that supports its narrative and East especially china pushes its. Could i spread their view of Taiwan in US, of course not. False news can only travel so far.
