Media Narratives and Activism in U.S.-China Relations

This chapter examines the portrayal of human rights and labor conditions in China, particularly critiques of a prominent tech company and its impact on a peace activist's credibility. Speakers discuss how media narratives, especially from major outlets, can undermine independent activism and promote foreign influence accusations. Additionally, the chapter warns against the simplification of complex U.S.-China relations and the potential dangers of biased journalism reminiscent of past wartime propaganda.
