    As PLA soldiers in Hong Kong sweep the streets in a publicity stunt, their commanding officer calls for "positive energy" and is swamped with questions he can't answer, exposing deep differences between HK and mainland societies. chinamediaproject.org/2019/11/16/the…

    "Intra-party democracy" (党内民主) has long been included in the CCP's political reports as a goal for greater collective and deliberative decision-making within the Party. For the first time in 45 years — gone.

    Hang on, Global Times. The proper translation is not so bloodless: "Anyone who tries to do so will find their head broken and blood flowing against a great wall of steel built with the flesh and blood of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people!"

    Just incredible the way they've been working on the MFA website through the night, it seems. Scroll through the "Major News" all the way back to March, February . . . . It's like Qin Gang was never there.

    How does a group go from anti-war activism to uncritically amplifying Beijing's talking points? @dbandurski explores the complex but consistent connections linking Code Pink and the Singham network to CCP entities working directly on external propaganda.

    Xi emphasizes "self-governance." But as we mentioned in a thread recently, the key phrase "intra-Party democracy," with a long history in the CCP, was dropped this year for the first time in more than four decades.

    On the front page of today's People's Daily, Xi Jinping calls for a "Fengqiao experience for the new era." This refers to a Mao-era approach to social governance that directed people to root out “reactionaries” at the grassroots. Read our full definition: chinamediaproject.org/the_ccp_dictio…

    "In the shadows, resentment among CCP elites is rising." A must-read from someone who knows China's system from the inside like few others.

    The hottest topics on Weibo right now. Chinese care only about the 20th National Congress apparently. But no one is asking why Hu Jintao was escorted out of the hall. . . The Party decides what is trending too.

    The conflict in Ukraine is "Russia's war" in much of the world. In many Chinese media it is a "special military operation." In this closer look at Chinese media coverage, CMP documents this official framing, but also finds some encouraging exceptions. bit.ly/35Px3mo

    “One institution with two names” describes China's frequent practice of giving one ministry or bureau two distinct names: one for Chinese and one for foreigners, who might see the organization differently if they knew about its affiliations with the CCP.
