    Basically the same with China.

    Schools in America fly the American flag and kids have to pledge allegiance to it? Normal.

    The BBC (a state sanctioned organisation from the Crown) being a major source of information in the UK? Normal.

    Social media platforms being broadly influenced and manipulated by their American owners? Nothing wrong happening here.

    Chinese schools raise the flag and kids sing the national anthem? Indoctrination!

    Chinese media being heavily controlled by the state? Propoganda!

    Tiktok being manipulated and controlled by their chinese owners? Espionage! The fact that China bans foreign social media platforms? Censorship and control!
