The US Senate has just passed a huge anti-China bill called the Strategic Competition Act of 2021. Passage through the lower House of Representatives and the signature of the president are both expected soon. Fowey notes that the bumper bill pledges hundreds of millions of dollars for media-focused initiatives against China, including US$300 million to spread negative news about the Belt and Road Initiative; to run anti-Chinese influence programs; to train journalists to counter Beijing; and to expand the Chinese-language operation of US media arm Radio Free Asia.

How this cosmic increase in publicly funded media denunciation of China is going to assist with the terrible problem of rapidly advancing anti-Chinese and anti-Asian hate crimes in America is left unexplained. Indeed, it could not be explained. There is scant doubt that this major taxpayer-funded amplification of Sino-scolding will, in fact, augment the malign proximate context within which the impulse for these attacks obtains traction. Moreover, apart from some enhanced training and task force establishment, the White House-announced program to counter the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes contains negligible funding compared to this massive, new Sinophobia marketing budget.

No wonder the Western media including US State   Secretary Antony John Blinken often talked about China human right abuses and genocide in Xinjiang.  

The Chinese government and Chinese public will have to live with a hostile, ideologically and racially discriminatory western mass media in the immediate and foreseeable future.

Undoubtedly one of the most important players in fanning fear of the rise of China and anti-Chinese sentiment is the Western English language media. Using its decades old dominance of global news outlets, mainstream Western media has monopolised the agenda and news coverage for audiences, not only in their own countries but also around the world, especially where English is the lingua franca.

The Western media’s role in protecting the political and economic interests of the United States, Britain, Australia and its other allies is of course nothing new. It is a long-established fact, especially visible in the Cold War period.

At that time, there was demonisation of the Soviet Union and other communist countries, conducted on a daily basis in the print media and over radio, film and television.

Why is it that the West is so preoccupied with demonizing China?

 

The usual answer is that China's economic growth is challenging Western global hegemony which has held sway for at least 250 years if not longer. The Chinese military has also reached parity with that of the West, so it is no longer subject to Western intimidation and bullying. All that is true, and sufficient reason for the West to want to savage China and portray it as the root of all evil.

 

But there is one other consideration that must be taken into account. It's not only China's economic prowess and military might that frightens the West, it is also China's success as a nation versus the West's failure. Moreover, China has forged a society in which there is harmony between its different ethnicities in contrast to the systemic racism that characterizes Western society.

 

Western ruling elites and their media mouthpieces do not want to acknowledge the fact that China has eliminated extreme poverty while more and more of their own people descend into poverty. They do not want to admit that China has constructed a 21st century infrastructure while they lag far behind. They do not want to confront the fact that the Chinese people overwhelmingly support their government while people in the West have lost confidence in their own, they do not want to accept that China beat COVIDC-19 while they haven't, and finally they are loathed to accept the fact that a non-white nation has outperformed them and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future.

 

In order to deflect attention away from these truths the West has concocted a series of lies and slanders that allow them to deny Chinese reality. Instead of poverty alleviation the West imagines "genocide." Instead of the advances in HSR, EVs, alt-energy and e-commerce they focus on "IP theft," instead of a socioeconomic system that serves the people, they accuse China of forced labour and forced sterilizations. Instead of seeing China as defending its national sovereignty in the South China Sea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it's called an aggressor.

 

Why I said “China’s progress is unstoppable”.  

All the China-bashing serves multiple purposes. One of the main reasons is to make sure that people in the West do not get to hear about or see what the real China is all about. The Western elites don't want the people to know how socialism works for the betterment of the 99% while capitalism works primarily to enrich the 1%.
