Taiwan media tells their people that the mainlanders are so poor and people everyday struggle for their next meal,they can not afford a tea egg and if you eat instant noodles in China, in no time you will get a bunch of people surrounding you and ask you what is that, how come it smells so delicious.
US media tells Americans that in China if you talk negative about the government you will be put into prison or will simply disappear..
In China we are exposed to the government propaganda and we are full aware of this fact, we know all governments lie and whatever official government media says, we take them with a fair amount of salt, equally we are aware the informations on the social media are not always true either.
In the west, their people are exposed to the worst and most intense propaganda in the world under the disguise of Free Media, but the people just blindly put their full trust on their "Free Media", westerners greatest weakness is lacking of critical think when receiving information from their western media, no matter how absurd a thing that their press tells them, they'll just buy it.
That's why when they actually come to China, almost 100% of them will be in shock and scream for being fooled for so long. while when the Chinese visit US, we don't feel any kind of a shock, cause US is by and large exactly what our media tells us,not much difference.
