2. As a Chinese, it’s hard for me to tell my feelings after reading the passage. It is true that Chinese government has a strong power over the news channel in China. And it’s also true that many popular foreign website and apps, like facebook, twitter, etc. are blocked in China. And Instagram, which was our only way to get in touch with people around the world, is blocked due to the protest in Hong Kong. But they are not all of the truth. Chines people, especially young adults, are increasingly interested in things happening around the world. And many friends around me have opened an account in facebook, twitter for a long time. And many people knew the protest in Hong Kong the moment it occurred. See? Though those foreign websites are blocked in China, people still have their own way to get in touch with the world.

Fuck me. I believe we have a genuine case of severe schizophrenia here.

Seriously, J., why are you working for CCTV? Just what possible excuse can there be for working for such an organisation? It’s not like you didn’t know they were a propaganda operation when you interviewed for them, is it?

Professional advancement? But then anyone who speaks English and is half-sane can get a job working at CCTV, GT, or China Daily, so what could you possibly gain professionally from doing so? Do you think the fact that you worked for the mouthpiece of a dictatorship is going to look good on your CV?
