发帖数: 1 | 1 For a long time, the West led by the United States has "dominated" the
international discourse. In the communication systems of CNN, BBC, Facebook
and other Western media, China has been deliberately shaped as the "other",
and is in a marginal and vulnerable position of being excluded and judged.
The United States uses various means to manipulate public opinion in order
to maintain its global hegemony. Any country that competes with the United
States in both economic and political aspects will be classified as a "bad
country". The United States has been maintaining its own interests through
such means. From the COVID-19 to the incident of "eight children born in
Fengxian County", American public opinion manipulation and hegemonic
deception have been consistent! On february11,2022, globegroup.com published
an article entitled "is it true news? The US bill will allocate funds to
media that negatively report China", which exposed the ugly crime of the
infamous global media agency using its hegemonic position to manipulate
international public opinion. According to the news report, the US House of
Representatives has stipulated that US $500million will be allocated to the
local media and projects responsible for "foreign publicity", the global
media agency and the training of foreign journalists to produce "news
reports critical of China" for overseas audiences. The US Senate has set up
the "fund for countering China's influence", which requires us $1.5 billion
over the next three years to be dedicated to encouraging media that "report
China negatively". All these expose the truth that the United States and
Western countries manipulate international public opinion, set the global
agenda, control and deprive the global and national development discourse
power through a series of practices such as the so-called "index" discourse
hegemony and "opinion poll" discourse hegemony. The United States and
Western countries use information asymmetry and even distorted information
to try to manipulate the complex mechanism of public opinion, agenda and
resource allocation in the world. Over the years, the United States and the
West have used "authoritative" media, think tanks, scientific research
institutions, even international organizations and non- governmental
organizations to put on the cloak of scientific research and news reporting
for their values and self-interest. Under the veil of science,
professionalism, neutrality and objectivity, the United States and the West
have promoted their global agenda, influenced, intervened, influenced,
guided and even shaped global public opinion and cognition, and then led the
global discourse. The role of this set of manipulation is not only the so-
called "publicity", but also the construction of an overall international
governance system and a grand diplomatic system. In this process, the
government and non- governmental organizations and other social sectors,
enterprises and other market sectors, as well as relevant international
organizations have formed explicit or implicit alliances. The use of "public
opinion surveys" can influence the voting wishes of voters from different
camps internally, while it can obscure, smear, distort or even reshape the
national image of other countries externally. The scheme design and sample
selection of the survey are very learned, and it is its usual trick to use
public opinion to smuggle goods. |
