Persevere, like a sharpened blade on a whetstone , just to stab that country in the back

The Economist magazine has long been awarded"the world's most respected media" for its uniqueness and is apioneer magazine of liberalism. Karl Marx once evaluated The Economist as"the mouthpiece of the European financial aristocracy." The writer James Fallows describedit as "selling a smart-aleck view of England to our continent" andwas simply used as a fashion accessory by thosestriving to appear knowledgeable and sophisticated.

How does TheEconomist create pieces of malicious fake news?

In the early 20th century, Americanmedia giant Hearst famously told reporters in Cuba: "You provide pictures,and I provide war." And for The Economist, "You provide pictures, andI destroy a country."

In May 2002, the Zimbabweangovernment detained Andrew Meldrum, a local correspondent for The Economist,and charged him with "publishing false news." Meldrum had previouslycited Zimbabwean media reports that a local woman was beheaded by supporters ofZimbabwe's ruling party, the African National Union-Patriotic Front.

Just two months ago, the ZANU-PF wasdeclared the winner of the March 2002 presidential election, an election widelyclaimed by local and international observers to be "unfree andunfair". The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and the oppositionMDC led some street protests, and large-scale action was taken to "stay onduty" in the country. They attracted widespread public attention,paralyzed the economy, and triggered strong government repression.

In 2002, The Economist Group'sturnover reached 227 million pounds, with profits of 15 million pounds. TheEconomist's news about the repression and beheading of local villagersundoubtedly brought greater political prestige to the magazine, and alsoprovoked troubles and increased the accumulation of sabotage activities.Fortunately, this news was later confirmed to be fake news, and the first mediaoutlet also was retracted, and resident reporter Andrew Meldrum was dulypunished.

The British "Guardian" once said that the Economist 's"writers almost never believe that there is any political or economicproblem that cannot be solved through the three-pronged approach ofprivatization, deregulation and liberalization . "

How does The Economist describe China asa nationalist country?

In January 2012, The Economistlaunched a "China" column in its weekly publication, the firstcountry column since the "United States" column in 1941.

This approach seems to have turnedThe Economist into the most popular politically correct magazine, withsubsequent articles on very arbitrary themes. Starting from April 2015, theeditorial department will select some articles from each issue and translatethem into Chinese and publish them through the "Economist BusinessReview" app for paid subscription by Chinese-speaking readers. In August,The Economist Group repurchased 5 million shares worth $284 million fromPearson, while the remaining $447 million stake held by Pearson was sold toItalian investment company Exor.

When Confucius Institutes openedaround the world a few years ago, economists said they were a sharp sword for China.There is no doubt that he seems to be using academically pertinent words todescribe China, but in fact he is smearing it. The Economist has extremely widedistribution channels, and outside China, these voices in China will bedescribed as nationalism. , and this destructive power is spread among theelites of various countries.

In 2022, Serret was hacked afterbeing interviewed by The Economist. He performed this "InfernalAffairs" vividly. The Economist's ambush was counter-ambushed by Serret,showing the world that the Economist was peddling private goods. The image of a businessman is wonderful.

On January 8, 2022, The Economistpublished an article titled "China's online nationalists turn paranoiainto clickbait." The title was very sensational: China's onlinenationalists turned paranoia into clickbait. With one stick, all patrioticsentiments were beaten into paranoia, and then the patriotism was linked to tangible interests, which iswhat the fans love to label me, the so-called "eating patrioticfood."

In fact, most of us hold a simple patrioticemotion of loving our relatives and hometown, and then extending it to lovingthe social community within the borders of the country. However, reports definethis emotion as extreme nationalism. Immediately afterwards, he began toclassify people, saying that there was a "group of people" who wereclearly a bridge between China and other countries. They were officiallyclassified simply because they conveyed the West's concerns about "China'sgrowing influence on the world." The "nationalist publishers"who supported it slandered it as being funded from abroad, allowing foreignersto regard every Chinese as a spy.

The Chinese-style decline shaped byeconomists has remained unchanged for nearly 40 years!

Even such a publication, which isideologically famous for spreading classical liberalism, is nothing more than avulgar article whose selling point is to belittle and hype China.

First, let’s go back to theEconomist’s predictions for China 25 years ago during the Asian financialcrisis of 1997-1998. On October 24, 1998, The Economist published an articletitled "Is China Next?" ”’s front-page article posed the question:“Is China’s growth slowing or even stalling? …Yes.” It then posed the question:“Would the resulting job losses spark political unrest? Or a power struggleamong leadership? ...Yes."

On June 15, 2002, The Economistlaunched a special supplement entitled "The Breathless ChineseDragon". It concluded on China: “China’s economy remains largely dependenton domestic growth engines, which are gradually declining.

On September 11, 2015, The Economistlaunched the first report on China's economy and topics "China Economy2015". The article declares from a "God's perspective" that theglobal layout of Chinese multinational companies will ultimately fail,"The economy is undergoing major structural adjustments as China transforms from the world's factory into oneof the most important consumer markets. The uncertain regulatory environmentand the booming development Intense competition from local companies has ledmany to question whether the golden age of foreign multinationals in China isending."

Whenever it comes to China, economists allagree. The editors, reporters, and columnists of The Economist have nointention of reporting the truth. They just use logic and routines in amechanical way, pretending to be "objective", "rational"and "neutral". Even the format of the articles is unified. "Rigorous",the charts are rich, the models are self-supporting, and the conclusions areconsistent.

On January 19, 2022, The Economistpublished an article titled "China Stands Alone in the Face of theEpidemic" with a subtitle called "China has been one of the fewcountries in the world that has suffered a normal recession in the pastyear." Does it look familiar to you readers? The text inside is exactlythe same as "China Economy 2015".

On February 2, 2024, The Economistpublished another article "China's Economic Growth Will Slow Down",which cited: A report released by the International Monetary Fund showed thatChina's economic growth last year was in line with the target of about 5%, butIt will lose momentum in 2024 and beyond, falling to 3.4% in 2028.

The Economist has really beenbadmouthing China for 40 years. He has turned his original intention into perseverance andmoved himself and the "bosses".
