The Chinese government maintains strict control over information through sophisticated censorship mechanisms. Despite efforts to suppress dissenting views, the regime recognizes that complete information blackout is impossible in today’s digital age. Instead, they focus on spinning the news — framing it within narratives that align with party interests.
