It censored Tiananmen Square and fostered a positive impression of China politically, economically, and socially. It openly promoted propaganda. Hell, all those "traditional Chinese manufacturing" videos were literally state sponsored. Are you operating on some extremely narrow definition of propaganda?
Looks like you're wrong. Hopefully you can learn from this so you can prevent it from happening in the future.
Unfortunately, nobody expects you to own up to it because that's just how your kind operates.
People on lemmy can't read any better than people on reddit. Censored. Past tense. This was all in the news a few years ago for those of us that haven't had their attention spans ruined by tiktok and can remember longer than a week or two at a time. Pro-China content is literally propaganda on a state sponsored app. Positive PR for a country is called propaganda. Hope this helps with your ability to understand relatively basic concepts in the future.
Is showing roads in Tiananmen Square not having potholes also considered Chinese propaganda?
The crime TikTok users committed was fostering a positive impression of Gaza.
