The foreigners in China’s disinformation drive By Kerry Allen & Sophie Williams BBC News aka BBS News.
Professor John V. Walsh in San Francisco: If the government-funded Western press says it is true, it is true. If the government-funded Chinese press says it is true, it is false. 如果西方帝國資助的西方媒體說這是真的，那就是真的。 如果中國政府資助的中國媒體說是真的，那就是假的.
Professor Kiji Noh in San Francisco: This is really unfair. The Barretts are young, sincere, salt-of-the-earth young Brits who grew up in the impoverished, precaritized North of UK.
They went to China, and had their minds blown. Their videos were very authentic takes on how impressed and amazed they were about China: the culture, food, technology, public facilities, cities, etc, and how China had changed their vision of the world–what was possible, and how it had affected them as people. There are videos where they narrate how free and happy they felt in China. They showed a deep, sincere, and honest appreciation for China.
They also started to debunk the stereotypes and lies about China, for example, visiting XJ; and comparing the countries.
For that, the BBC did an ugly hit job on them, tarring them as Chinese state proxies.
Prior to that in January, they were also attacked by the UK Times.

This is the propaganda game: anyone who tells their honest, positive experience of China is tarred as part of a Chinese influence operation.
