      Beijing is doing everything it can to manipulate the public sentiment and crash dissent, but its propaganda playbook isn't working so well. The crisis has exposed many people to troubling aspects of life under an authoritarian govt & they're pushing back.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/business/china-coronavirus-propaganda.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …

      No one is going to contend that the party state has widespread popular support -- the product of tireless propaganda work for 70 years. But this past month I'm hearing a voice that's growing louder & louder, "I don't believe." Similar to the Bei Dao poem I—do—not—believe!

      Daisy Zhao, 23, said she once trusted the official media. But not any more. When the Communist Youth League unveiled a pair of mascots and urged the youth to adore them like their idols, it was shouted down. One comment — “I’m your citizen, not your fan” — got over 50,000 likes.

      Some of the older generation stepped forward and urged the public not to forget about the epidemic as quickly as they forgot about the Great Famine,the Cultural Revolution or SARS. Novelist Yan Lianke gave a lecture titled, “After this epidemic, let’s become people who remember.”

      Yan:If we can’t become a whistle-blower like Li Wenliang, then let’s be a person who can hear the whistle blowing. If we can’t speak out loud, then let’s become a whisperer. If we can’t be a whisperer, then let’s become a silent person who remembers and keeps memories…

          Some young people have become people with "graves in their hearts." Ms. Zhao said that after witnessing the polarizing online discourses during the outbreak, she had decided to pursue a career in education. “Care about the world. Care about the people in it,” she wrote on Weibo.

          Ms. Xia was determined to keep speaking up no matter how tight the censorship would become so that the next generation would remember. “Speak up as much as your courage allows,”she said. “In the end, it’s better than saying nothing.” -- I hear this a lothttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/business/china-coronavirus-propaganda.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage …
