In recent years, many media have been promoting China’s economic strength and comparing Taiwan‘s economic downturn and stagnant wages, thus many people have lost confidence in Taiwan. Emmy Hu, a financial netizen, said she had worked in the Chinese media for 10 years, and after observing from her own experience, she found that the theory of China’s strength is actually a product of the Chinese Communist Party‘s media brainwashing, aiming to make people pessimistic about Taiwan as a result.
Emmy Hu, a veteran media personality, used to work as a reporter for Taiwan’s Business Week, and in 2009 worked for Beijing‘s Caijing Magazine, Hangzhou’s Alibaba Group’s World Online Business, and Shanghai’s Fashion E-Commerce. Recently, she shared her personal experience of working in China through a conversation on an online platform, and offered her views on how Taiwan has been brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda on China’s strength.
She said that the popularity of smartphones and social networks in the past 10 years has led to radical changes in the media environment, with users’ reading behavior and channels of receiving messages changing.
She said that after entering the era of social media, the communication theory of the mass media in the past has been strengthened instead, and has more influence on social media, and can even control the crowd by controlling the media content, and when the people are not aware and alert, this new form of brainwashing may indeed cause serious harm to society.
According to Hu, the media’s “bipolar communication theory” believes that messages go through two stages from the mass media to the audience, first from mass communication to opinion leaders, and then to the general public. And interpersonal communication is more likely to change the attitude of the reader than mass communication.
This theory has now been fully applied to the business battlefield. She took Alibaba’s online shopping festival “Double Eleven” as an example. The purpose is to extend the lifecycle of the issue by looking at the campaign from the perspective of different sellers.
She said that the CCP is also very familiar with this propaganda operation, in addition to the official propaganda through the party media People’s Daily, Xinhua, China Review, China Daily, but also spent a lot of money to use “Chivalry Island” and other online platforms to interpret social events from the perspective of individuals, so as to achieve the effect of bringing the wind and brainwashing.
She took “Learning Power App” as an example, the contents of which are all brainwashing propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party, but stipulates that Chinese public officials, schools, state-owned enterprises, etc. need to use the contents of the app to improve their learning points in order to advance their Education and keep their jobs.
The Chinese Communist Party’s brainwashing propaganda exaggerates the tragedy of Taiwanese people
The Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda approach to Taiwan is very similar, said Hu Cai?, after the cross-strait ECFA (Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement) was signed in 2009, the Chinese Communist Party began to produce a large number of media propaganda topics for Taiwan, from the 2012 “map of mainlanders buying Taiwan|,” 2014 “trade in services” and 2015 “trade in services”. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been making a lot of media propaganda for Taiwan since the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (CECFA) was signed in 2012, the Mainland China Trade Agreement (CTA) in 2014, the Mainland China Study Tour (LCS) in 2015, and the Purple Light (ZGC) in 2015.
She said that in 2017, this theory of China’s strength reached its peak, including “others are in the big data, we are still in the Lu meat rice”, “Lu Li-an: Taiwan girl’s dream of China”, “Huang Zhixian speaks about Alipay: mainland The change is amazing, Taiwan has fallen behind”, “westward wandering teachers” and so on.
She said that the Chinese Communist Party produces a large number of such cross-strait comparison topics, in fact, are very ridiculous can not be compared, and constantly exaggerate, greatly exaggerate the sufferings of the Taiwanese, to make them look very miserable, to create a “Taiwan is like a beggar, to ask for money from the mainland to survive” the false image, but does not match the actual situation, and the number of Taiwanese teachers in the mainland is only about The number of Taiwanese teachers in China is only about a thousand, and the number of Taiwanese people working in China is only 700,000.
The constant bad-mouthing of Taiwan is designed to discredit the people
And this kind of Chinese Communist Party brainwashing propaganda against Taiwan is unexpectedly very useful. She used a survey conducted by the Election Research Center of National Chengchi University to show that Taiwanese people’s identification with China was indeed influenced by the theory of strength and prosperity, and it was only after the 2018 U.S.-China trade war that the reversal occurred, and people realized that the theory of China’s strength and prosperity was actually an unreasonable illusion and was entirely a product of brainwashing.
She said that the reason for the rapid growth of China’s economy is because U.S. manufacturers buy a lot from China, of which the key role is actually played by Taiwanese businesses, so when the United States decided to stop purchasing Chinese goods, the Chinese economy is bound to suffer a setback, because China’s economic strength is given by the United States, but at that Time there was a large number of media constantly propagating “trade war China or become the biggest winner “, simply can not understand the structure of U.S.-China economic and trade.
She said, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs statistics, as early as 2013, the number of Taiwanese people working in China began to fall back from the top, because China’s economic growth rate began to decline sharply, the bottom of foreign exchange reserves also began to decline, Taiwan should have found this situation long ago, but in 2017, China’s strong theory instead reached the top, and many people therefore feel pessimistic and lose confidence in Taiwan, showing Taiwan’s cognitive response is completely brainwashed.
