The Use of Fake News in Chinese Communist China
The podcast episode discusses how Mao Zedong used fake news and propaganda, specifically in the 1950s and 60s, to manipulate public perception. Mao staged photo ops, such as supposedly swimming in the Yangtze River, to maintain a positive image and regain power after facing criticism for the disastrous Great Leap Forward. The state newspapers played a crucial role in spreading this fake news, deceiving the impressionable youth. This example of using fake news highlights the danger of misinformation and its impact on society.
