The Washington Post touted China’s Communist Party as a way for citizens to better their lives Tuesday – but made no mention of the country’s oppression of Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.
The Post – which for years has profited from running Chinese government-funded propaganda inserts masquerading as news reports – published an article explaining how “Young Chinese” see the Communist Party “as a ticket to a better future.”
The article praised the regime, even noting that “Chinese who were complaining in February about the party’s coronavirus coverup reflect more positively on their experience now that they can see, through the American example, how much worse it could have been.”
The article continued on to claim that President Donald Trump and the administration may just be worried “about China eclipsing the United States.”
