Like the DNC, China Wants to Censor Internet Misinformation

A high-level member of the political advisory board of the Chinese Communist Party has been telegraphing the next move by Chairman Xi’s party to assure that any dissent that might grow is nipped in the bud before it ever blooms. To that end, the high-ranking member of the prestigious political advisory board, Jia Qungguo, has been complaining about the proliferation of ‘misinformation’ on the Chinese Communist Party controlled internet.
Jia said, “….there are often people online who, for some purpose, package a foreigner’s vicious remarks against China as the view of everyone in that country towards China in order to incite the Chinese people’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards said country and its people,”
You see, friends, if we can’t all reflect the world policies of the state, how can we be trusted, how can we be safe as a people? In the name of protecting citizens from dangerous thoughts that could lead others to make bad decisions, the DNC pushes for hate speech laws and more social media censorship, following, it would seem, this model that has been used for centuries in China, the Chinese Communist Party method of controlling and eliminating potential competition, dissent.
An adviser to the Chinese government has called for new laws to ban “fabricating and disseminating fake information online”, blaming the rampant disinformation on the internet for polarising Chinese public opinion.
Jia Qingguo, a member of China’s highest political advisory body, said he also believed the proliferation of misinformation online had fuelled tensions between China and foreign countries.
“For example, there are often people online who, for some purpose, package a foreigner’s vicious remarks against China as the view of everyone in that country towards China in order to incite the Chinese people’s dissatisfaction and hostility towards said country and its people,” Jia said in an interview on Saturday with online news portal The Cover, which is affiliated with the state-owned Sichuan Daily.
The former dean of the prestigious Peking University’s School of International Studies added that the spread of fake news could harm national interests, and lead to public confusion and social division. He called on Beijing to introduce specific measures to “severely punish” those who create false information to “cause serious harm to society”.
