It is a remnant from the Northern Song Dynasty, as a form of etiquette and being polite, to not to disturb them while eating.

"凡往见人,入门必问主人食否 […] 度无所妨,乃命展剌。有妨则少俟。"

“Whoever you visit, you should ask them if they have eaten or not […] if they are about to eat, don’t enter the house until after they finish the meal. Otherwise, you would be intruding.”

From the book "Lü Convention" 《吕氏乡约》

For greeting, you could also say (in person): 吃饭了吗? / 吃了吗?

if you know them a bit better

For the introduction, you could use:

怎么样,我是「BartsBigBugBag」!

It is more colloquial

Lazyness as in working more efficiently by working less with same or better outcome

So in short words, propaganda makers are lazy, want to work more efficiently, so they censor. Problem is China's image in the liberal west, they use this again as propaganda. endless circle...

That was a joke / sarcasm

yes I was trolling, sorry. I just want to know one more thing, does this censorship to protect china from outside propaganda also affect prolewiki (since you are working on that project), or is this really just inside china? Because other people, like libs for example, could unironically have some kind of possible opinion that I have portrayed here, so I want to learn counter arguments in action

Yes I know all of that, I know that mangopress also has a telegram account and that personal experiences can be easily faked.

I was just bored and needed something to waste time on, why not hypothetical bs about "evil ccp big brother skynet country" narrative

 

In this article on baidu, there is a gap between 1988 and 1999, why is there nothing about some kind of protest that everyone keeps telling me about?


Edit: Thank you for responding, you have taught me a great deal about the usage and necessity of propaganda, counter-propaganda and censorship in a Marxist-Leninist state like China. Although some relied upon lies and insults as a means of trying to win an argunent, I got actual contentful theoretical education out of this, thanks.

 

I haven't heard of them until like 2-3 years ago and I see them posted in World News quite often. What kind of a news source is this? Are they biased in some way? Where are they based? Is there anything notable to know about them?

I don't know anything about him...

 

I have some questions about the "funny memes" about President Xi as Winnie the Pooh or Chairman Mao as a cat (I'm sure there are many more, for example I heard some people call President Xi an "accelerator in chief", a very narrow minded and rude term in my opinion).

I basically only know the western narrative about those memes, I want to learn about how they are regarded in China, if they are actually illegal and/or "censored" and why, what their origins are, what they mean (I know from my scarce knowledge of Hanyu that Mao also means cat for example), and who made them.

I am trying to "de-propagandize" my mind, since I grew up only being taught the opposing side's narrative. I don't want to be disrespectful, and if I am please tell me, it is not my goal to be rude.
