That one was specifically why I added 'interpret the videos as you feel right' or whatever. Though I do suspect some foul play, it is indeed only suspicion and I think it's insightful in a broader sense; this is the narrative going on in many people mind's and people are too scared to speak out - this part is not BS. I know because my Chinese and even foreign friends are scared to use WeChat to discuss anything remotely controversial, and several of my friends have been banned, several having police come to their homes for saying something in a group chat, and beyond.

There is a silent voice not being heard, so I think, propaganda or not, it plays to an audience that needs a voice.

After all, the things she says ARE true: Lawyers are detained for doing the right thing, people are detained for criticizing the government (hell, even singing the anthem badly for 2 seconds gets you arrested, fined and career ruined), people do support the independence of regions and there is a perpetual fight for them.

Etc.

And finally, it plays to my point I've consistently raised; who, what can we believe when the only news is state-owned and controlled? People inevitably have to take it into their own hands, and we find ourselves in a situation where we have a mountain of content, 50% is a conspiracy (US made the virus etc), 50% is legit. And we have to personally take it all at face value and use our education (which Chinese lack because of censorship), to figure out the truth.
