P!
I am presently in China.
Google, Pandora, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and lots of other sites are blocked.
Oddly enough, FreeRepublic, Bing, iHeart Radio (Limbugh/Carr/Hannity live stream) and CIBTV (Live and recorded Catholic Mass from the States) are not blocked.
The Chinese already have people on the internet pushing socialism. It is called the “50 cent Army”, as they are paid 50 cents RMB (about 8 cents American) for each post they make that is double-plus good for socialism. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party
I know what you mean: infamous Wumao’s. Their reach is not confined to China. They are virtually everywhere on Internet. If a major daily like WSJ publishes an article critical to China, a swarm of pro-Chinese shills descend on the comment section to deny and spin the report. They are also active in S. Korea, where Chinese of Korean descent have a large presence. These ethnic Koreans are pushing pro-regime talking points and Han-chauvisim.
I think I ran into these 50 cent people in the comment section of a YouTube video on the Tiananmen Square massacre (and Wikipedia and Britannica don’t even use that name, but the words “protests” and “incident” instead. Has to be the Chinese government influence. We really didn’t win the Cold War with Red China’s government still in power.
You can bet money that the U.S. government already does this, although with people already employed by government, not student volunteers.
Like this hasn’t been going on in this country for years. Heck,I think some college professors even give credits to their classes for going into forums and news comment sections and promoting a certain agenda.
And PAC's directly or indirectly connected to the regime.
A list of Socialist outfits.
One thing I have learned about Socialists is that they have all learned that the intent of outside Socialists not in control, is to take control from the inside Socialists now in control, as well as everyone else.
Socialists are cannibals at heart.

If that is true, then shouldn't we here on this site provide a better example to them?
I’ve wondered the same; when you have alphabets with thousands of characters, I guess you really have to fall back on a Western model. Why not? We switched to Arabic numbers because the Roman numerals were impractical for many higher functions.
What’s the best Chinese food you had in the last month?
Hillary and Soros HAVE done the same in the US.. it doesn’t take 10 million... fewer than a few hundred - can totally disrupt the conversations between free citizens.
I wish eternal death on democrat shills..

Yeah, FreeRepublic has been kind of an embarrassment lately, hasn’t it?
Grass fed! My favorite Chinese-Australian story is the Chinese flight money guy who bought an Australia vineyard sight unseen for 38 million
