I thought the "movies about ghosts are illegal" thing was only sporadically enforced. As in, they don't actually give a poo poo about ghosts or paranormal business, but will happily use that law as an excuse to ban whatever they want to ban for whatever reason they want to ban it. Coz about 2/3 of all Chinese movies I remember from my time there were sword and sorcery epics involving the great hero travelling on a quest to defeat the evil monster/demon that was usually a pretty girl with long white hair. Surely those sorts of films contravened the "no ghosts" ordinance.

It's the same lawlessness you find in places like post-soviet Russia. The law doesn't exist to be uniformly enforced, it exists so that people in a position of power can go after rivals or people they dislike and have legal cover for it. The fact that you can't really do business without breaking some law or other is a feature, not a bug.

Yeah, it's trivially true (and a very old) observation that's the one law for the rich and one for the poor, but it's needlessly reductive to think that blanket applies across all types of law in all situations everywhere.

I can see the value in an embassy having a Twitter but then using that Twitter to post inflammatory poo poo is both completely  and totally aligned with my expectations from Chinese diplomacy.

Zakrello posted:revise: Why the gently caress does an Embassy of a nation (where Twitter is banned) need a twitter? I guess if it's not banned in the country you're in, it makes sense. Cuz, your citizens living in that country will use twitter. Like US political parties and embassies in China have a wechat and weibo presence because what else are we gonna use? But that makes sense for "hey if you lost your passport reminder this is where you go!" type messages and not weird memes I'd think.

Every motherfucker wants to be dril. If you're good at what you're doing, twitter can be a great propaganda tool - see Russia, Wendys. When you're bad at it, you will look like a complete idiot - see China, Dick Dorkins.

Much like the "BTW, China is the wolf" thing a few weeks ago, I would chalk this one up to likely being a lazy effort by some incompetent failson-turned-social media manager who grabbed the first hit off Google Images, rather than deliberate bigotry.

There's a really interesting sub-genre of Chinese financial advice books that's wildly anti-semitic though. They're along the lines of "THE SECRET TO THE JEW'S WEALTH" or "LIFE LESSONS FROM THE TALMUD"  It's not so insidious because the average Chinese person hasn't been poisoned with anti-semitic media one would encounter in the West. Maybe some of it has rubbed off from their Russian comrades. But much like their anti-black bigotry it's just very ignorant, and comes off as child-like at best. For example asking any black person they meet if they play basketball before asking for their name.
