        one thing he at least acknowledged was that people on the mainland know that communist party is suppressing them, but are unable to do anything about it. unlike #HongKong. and that difference this scholar fails to see

        I'm mainlander, most mainlander dont think so, on the contrary, they believe that the current government represents their interests. Especially in recent years, this idea is absolutely mainstream, because of great economic development and social progress

        Censorship is only part of the process of brainwashing. But yes, I do see many Chinese as cynical and questioning. But they are still victims of brainwashing.

        Even if one tries to be open-minded and somehow gets around censorship, one still will tend to go with what one was taught in school and in the state media.

        Exactly my experience. It is bias and prejudice - from both sides - that creates mainland indifference to the HK protests.Treating the situation as 'if only the poor brainwashed mainland slaves knew the truth like we do' is condescending as hell.

        This article was written by someone brainwashed that’s why they claim the Mainland Chinese was not brainwashed for opposing the protests in HK

        That is absolutely a misconception about Hong Kong protesters. Oh but still they say it is us who are xenophobic. The author failed to realise that before the protests many younger generations were very open to mainland culture. They even went to Shenzhen for weekend trips.

        And SCMP, ironically, is blocked from China as well. Look at the websites he cited. And some of the news outlets China blocked: NY times, WSJ, TIME, BBC, the Economist. So while not a complete censorship, it does fail to offer people another perspective of the view.

        Brainwashed by the lifelong nationalist brainwashing program that starts when they’re infants. Censorship is but one facet of that system.
