Who are these people running the channels and providing only one information for at least 2 or three years in a row. I don't think, they are credible. I see tourist videos from China and the reaction by people there seems that they are very happy with the place they are living in.
Having never been to China I wouldn't know but it is entirely possible that tourist experience a much different China than people that live there. This is true in many places in the US even without some Communist plot to deceive visitors.
I mean unless that is the tourism bureau. All governments and companies attempt to manipulate reality and the perceptions of reality. In the west we call it public relations. In business its called marketing. When other governments do it we call it propaganda.
China will destroy itself unless it turns away from central planning. Its the same thing destroying the US. Its what destroyed the USSR. Its the hubris of all governments and their bureaucrats.

You may be correct but what I've listened has come from the people living in China. They accept a slump in real estate in China but they reject all the exaggerated negative news coming from western media.

People often get stuck in a reactionary mode. Most of us do actually. But sometimes both parties are lying. I usually assume all state actors are at least being deceptive. We live in a culture of lies where people justify their lies with supposed good intentions.
Its a poison that should be rejected. We can't just drink in this poison. We must use our memories and minds to think or we will become more enslaved.
