Downvote everything from that fuckin rag. Don't post NYPost here. If there's a story, find a news source that doesn't itself have an outrageous history of propagandizing.

Breaking news! Chinese company runs ads paid for by Chinese government! Did anyone think otherwise? All governments pay for ads. Who in their right mind would think a Chinese company would refuse their government as an ad customer?

Ads are one thing but state propaganda is something different. In a US political context this would be like the State of Florida running "Ads" on Facebook discussing how slavery was actually beneficial to the slaves. Get it now?
