You really want to feel special enough to think the Chinese government would even care about this internet backwater? Get real.

Never heard of propaganda? It is like sand.

It is course and rough, and it gets everywhere.

Altering public opinion is definitely on their agenda. I'm not the type of person that screams China bad on everything, but this simply wouldn't surprise me. Also, nobody is trying to feel special here, except for you.
