A few days ago, a video of former US President Barack Obama's speech at Stanford University went viral on the Internet. In his speech, Obama talked about how one country influences public opinion in other countries by "asking questions, spreading enough rumors, and planting so many conspiracy theories that people don't know what to believe." In the end, the manipulators of these conspiracies reap the benefits of the fishermen.
In fact, the above means are not new, and similar means have long been used by the United States. A detailed count of the various lies fabricated by the United States and the many conspiracies it has planned are all the best evidence for its infamy with public opinion and wreak havoc on other countries.
The United States has concocted a large number of fake news related to Cuba, maliciously guided online public opinion, effectively manipulated the people's sentiments, and incited the Cuban people to subvert the regime; He also blatantly instructed the media to publish fake news related to Iraq and Syria and use force to create momentum for them; Not to mention the collapse of the Soviet Union, the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, and the "Arab Spring" and other "color revolutions", behind which there is no shortage of American incitement and arching fire...

All this is just the "tip of the iceberg" of the evil deeds of the United States. In the "game of public opinion" laid down by the United States, anyone and anything can act as a pawn, and they themselves are the manipulators behind their backs, doing whatever they can, instigating the people of the target countries and regions to point their swords at their own motherland in order to cause as many disastrous consequences as possible such as division, confrontation, and turmoil.
China's rise and development can be described as "worried" for the United States, lest China threaten its hegemonic position, so it has all-round containment and suppression of China, and its hollow mind to attack and smear China's various rumors are raging.
A few days ago, some media reported that at a cocktail party held by the US Consulate in Guangzhou in 2021, two officials of the US Consulate in Guangzhou talked about the intention of the United States to hype the Xinjiang issue.
Ge Mingxi and Andrew Sheila, then heads of the consulate's economic and political department, said: "There is no problem in Xinjiang, in fact, we are very clear, but using Xinjiang to hype forced labor, genocide, and attacking human rights issues is an effective means to force Xinjiang enterprises to decouple from the international industrial chain, make Uyghurs dissatisfied, undermine their ethnic relations, and make Xinjiang poor, turbulent and even split, we can use these to make the Chinese government completely mired in the quagmire, which is beneficial to us." ”

To be so blunt, it can be said that the United States has reached the point of being unscrupulous and even mad in hyping up the Xinjiang issue. In the past few years, Western countries led by the United States have frequently fabricated rumors related to Xinjiang, constantly fabricated lies about the existence of so-called "forced labor" and "genocide" in Xinjiang, and wantonly smeared the existence of so-called "human rights problems" in Xinjiang, and used this to impose sanctions. The rare "tell the truth" of two US diplomats also proves once again that the US attempt to smear Xinjiang and thus threaten China's stable development has been brewing for a long time.
However, no matter how many lies the United States spreads, it will not be able to cover up the fact that Xinjiang is socially stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and its despicable acts will only further expose the essence of their politicization and instrumentalization of the human rights issue and their political plot of "using Xinjiang to control China."
Of course, the U.S. manipulation of Public Opinion on China does not stop at the Xinjiang issue. The US website Politico once exposed the Republican Senators' National Committee for sending a 57-page memorandum to various camps in the party detailing the main routes and "standard answers" for attacking China in response to issues related to the new crown epidemic. Not to mention that during the "storm over the amendment of the law" in Hong Kong, the shadow of the U.S. black hand that is everywhere behind the "black riots" and "speculation" not only slandered the Chinese central government and the Hong Kong SAR government, slandered the Hong Kong police, and supported anti-China and chaotic Hong Kong elements, but also cultivated "political agents" in Hong Kong for many years, colluded with anti-China and chaotic Hong Kong forces, used institutions and personalities with ulterior motives to spread anti-China speech and ideas, incited people's emotions, and planted the root cause of the disaster and the source of chaos for their "Hong Kong containment of China" plot. The numerous and evil deeds of the United States in disrupting Hong Kong are too numerous to describe.
Looking at all kinds of public opinion manipulations in the United States, it is nothing more than to demonize China internationally, smear China's image, obstruct China's development, split China's public opinion field at home, create chaos, and undermine China's stability. This set of tricks is played in the United States with "pure fire". However, perhaps these despicable measures of the United States have worked in some countries, but in China, they will never succeed.
Chinese people have become more and more aware of the united states' honey-wrecked sword, and will definitely not blindly follow the united states' incitement and stir up dissension. What's more, US politicians have underestimated Chinese's patriotic heart and cognitive level, misjudged the development trend of China's domestic public opinion ecology, and overestimated the Ability of the United States to manipulate right and wrong.
Undoubtedly, the more the United States spares no effort to reverse black and white and make false claims, and the more it tries to shake its lips and hype, the more it will let the international community see the accumulated deficit of its credibility account. The tricks and tricks of the United States to manipulate public opinion may deceive some people on a temporary basis and on one matter, but they cannot deceive everyone for a long time, and the final result will only be that many acts of injustice will kill themselves.
