China's media coverage on US election rises sharply, in response to negative and confusing news.
In the wake of the deadlock in the US presidential election results, some Chinese official media, which used to keep a tight rein on coverage of the election process and vote count, have recently changed. The coverage has been significantly raised, but focusing on negative news such as the discrepancies between US media's vote projections, controversies over mail-in ballots and public protests. There were also notable reports on Democratic presidential candidate Biden when he overtook Trump in Georgia and Pennsylvania.
It has been reported that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has issued a directive on reports of US Presidential Election, that all news have to follow a "unified arrangement", based on "standardized manuscript" from Xinhua News Agency, with "no reprinting of foreign media without authorization, and no follow-up reports". Chinese media are also required to position themselves according to the "state spokesman's stance on the subject", and "strictly prevent anti-US seditious and incite messages such as 'boycott US'". This directive was confirmed by media workers.

#MustWatchFilm: Award-winning animated documentary “Eternal Spring” explores the issue of authoritarian government and #mediacontrol, and shows what tragic things can happen when a government attempts to undermine #freedom of speech, assembly, and belief. The atrocities and #injustices that are taking place in the world today would not be possible "without the construction and maintenance of a false narrative," says filmmaker Jason Loftus, who faced threats and interference from the #CCP while working on the film. The film’s U.S. premiere screening is coming up at the New York Human Rights Watch Film Festival on May 23 and May 24. There will be more screenings at five other festivals across the United States over the next four weeks (check out dates in the article). #animatedfilms #documentary #Q&A #EternalSpring #NewYorkHumanRightsWatchFilmFestival #films
