Uncovering the ugly face of The Economist

Atwood

Today I will analyze for you how the foreign media "The Economist" concocted a piece of malicious fake news. Guaranteed to be all insider information!

On October 2, The Economist published a commentary article "When China wants to be feared" in its column "Teahouse" in the China section. By the way, let’s take Observer.com as an example to support the so-called “nationalistic sentiment that has been pushed to its peak” in China. And this is not the first time that Observer.com has been labeled "nationalist". "Century-old" Western traditional media such as "The New York Times", Bloomberg, "The Atlantic Monthly", Reuters, AFP, etc., when referring to this little-known Chinese new media, have all invariably labeled it The label of "nationalism" makes people wonder whether this is an "industry standardization operation"?

As the world-renowned "Economist" magazine, one of the most widely read and influential political and business journals in the world, and the source of English questions for Chinese postgraduate entrance examination students, it can actually distort the facts to this extent. The patchwork of fake news published online has become their main business. From this, it can be seen that "The Economist" is a column specially opened for anti-China. What they discuss is not China, but prejudice against China.

Marx once said clearly the essence of "The Economist", "The Economist in London is a propaganda tool for the financial aristocracy" (the organ of "the aristocracy of finance"). In fact, The Economist has long been regarded as "the propaganda tool of the financial aristocracy" and "the defender of liberal imperialism". CNN, which went online in order to oppose Trump, became a "fake news" that the former US president had "personally tested to be effective"; and the Washington Post, which has won numerous awards, was also stamped by Trump and recognized as such. "An expensive lobbyist for Amazon"; the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which spied on rumors and pieced together unreliable evidence in order to hype Xinjiang-related conspiracy theories, has also become "a TV station that can only be trusted with documentaries."

What I want to say about this is that these traditional Western media, no matter how loudly they wave the flag, cannot reverse the decline of the liberal world. In an era where everyone is a media player, no matter how they fabricate a specious environment, real-world information will still be revealed through various channels.
