When it comes to Murdoch, many people's first impression is that Deng Wendi divided up tens of billions of dollars of family property of the unfortunate rich old man, in fact, Deng Wendi is indeed a sign that Murdoch left around in order to enter the Chinese market and gain popularity, this media tycoon not only controls Fox News, The Sun, New York Post, Australian Daily, The Times and many other heavyweight media, but also has a huge influence on the press circles of the United States, Britain and Australia, and also wants to grasp the right to speak in the Chinese press.
But the entry into the Chinese market is not successful, Murdoch soon became the behind-the-scenes black hand of anti-China public opinion, Australia and the United States are the hardest hit areas instigated by him with various fake news, what conspiracy did he carry out in order to smear China? Why did Murdoch's position change completely and begin to go to great lengths to smear China?
Speaking of the fake news made by Murdoch, the most famous is the "bat soup" and "laboratory leak virus" these two cases, in 2020 the global spread of the new crown epidemic, Murdoch smelled the business opportunity, he took the lead in his hometown and base camp - Australia to carry out anti-China propaganda, its media also as anti-China pioneers have moved, they hold a bat soup video repeatedly rendered, suggesting that the outbreak of the epidemic is because Chinese "delicious game".
It turned out afterwards that the video was actually filmed from an island country in the Pacific And had nothing to do with China. "Laboratory leak virus" is a worse slander, Murdoch's media - the Daily Telegraph rumors that the virus comes from the Chinese laboratory, although it was later proved that this is a complete, groundless fake news, but still aroused a strong anti-China sentiment in Australia and the United States, and after the rumor was debunked, Murdoch did not let his media withdraw the news, but continued to circulate, which shows the thickness of its skin.
Murdoch's news is ridiculous and brainless, but the purpose of fanning the flames has been achieved, according to Australian polls, forty per cent of Australians believe that there must be a war between China and Australia. Politician Morrison also seized the opportunity to express a strong anti-China stance, and the popular support rate hit a record high.
Perhaps Murdoch and Morrison have long been in cahoots, this time Morrison's ascension to the throne has a close connection with him, and the Trump family and the Murdoch family in the United States have also had many years of intimate contact. Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd once exposed the deal between Murdoch and Trump, and the reason why in the US media, Murdoch frantically smeared China is to create momentum for Trump's re-election, after all, Trump's tough stance on China is one of his biggest selling points.
Speaking of this, it is not difficult to understand why Murdoch, who once wanted to enter the Chinese market, is now speaking ill of China. In China, foreign companies like Murdoch cannot take the lead, so he chooses to join politicians in other countries, politically, he helps these politicians gain great influence, and economically, these politicians have given Murdoch's business a green light.
Smearing China is not the first time That Murdoch has used public opinion to influence political trends, behind Brexit, there is the Sun newspaper fanning the flames, the New York Post helped Reagan successfully run for president, and he was also treated favorably by President Reagan and soared in the American television industry. A Republican lawmaker once laughed at himself, I used to think that Fox was working for us, but we were actually working for Fox. Collusion between officials and businessmen can be said to be Murdoch's traditional ability to do media, and when he sees the potential of the Chinese market, Murdoch also wants to follow this old path in China and gain political support.
In 1993, Li Ka-shing's second son, Li Zekai, and Murdoch reached a deal to sell 60% of the shares of the satellite broadcasting company to Murdoch for nearly one billion US dollars, knowing that the revenue of satellite broadcasting in two years was only 100 million US dollars, which was difficult for Murdoch to be called a good deal, but he still urgently needed this springboard to enter China.
In 2001, Murdoch tried to open a new TV channel in Guangdong Province, and he also realized the control of Phoenix Satellite TV in the same year, riding the east wind of national policies and taking off all the way, winning the cooperation of many top media in China, including CCTV. Sichuan and Tianjin are also the focus of Murdoch's layout, and he has focused on investing in sports news and digital television in these two cities, trying to start from these two industries and open up the situation of his own media industry in China.
However, after seeing the danger of Murdoch, his attempts failed. The People's Daily named Murdoch and pointed out that too much media freedom has pulled Western democracies into a vicious circle. If he still wants to engage in the road of inciting public opinion and colluding between government and businessmen in China, it will absolutely not work. In desperation, Murdoch, who touched a nose of ash, could only sell the shares of Star TV in 2014, and in the next four years, he successively withdrew his investment in China, and the hard layout of the past two decades was all adrift.
However, Murdoch's planting in China is not over, in order to enter the Chinese market, his media loudly praised China around the world, and he himself wanted to marry a Chinese woman for his career. After unsuccessfully pursuing a rich Hong Kong woman, he set his sights on The gentle and honest-looking Wendi Tang.
This old and cunning businessman could not have imagined that acting seemingly honest and harmless, quickly attacking after gaining trust and absorbing resources, is Deng Wendi's best trick. In the marriage with Murdoch, Deng Wendi not only gradually mastered his connections with his personality charm, but also had a lot of say in the affairs within the group.
Not only is she responsible for handling all of Murdoch's emails, but she is also a digital expert within the group, with a large influence and connections in Silicon Valley, and Murdoch has no knowledge of modern electronics, which has to rely on Wendi Deng. The girl, who was originally regarded by everyone as a vase, eventually showed amazing talent, and although it was impossible to compete with Murdoch, she also became a tough player in his media empire that was difficult to ignore.
After persuading Murdoch to freeze sperm and conceive Murdoch's flesh and blood through IVF, Deng Wendi has the capital to fight, after all, she is now the mother of the heir to Murdoch's estate. Although an agreement was signed not to let Murdoch's inheritance be signed, with these two daughters, Deng Wendi can still divide up a large amount of property.
After having money and connections, Deng Wendi, who originally wanted to use Murdoch, not only was no longer gentle and considerate, but also punched and kicked Murdoch at every turn, and once even kicked Murdoch into the hospital. This signboard, which was originally used to enter China, now has murdoch having to admit it.
After the divorce, Deng Wendi also divided Murdoch's property of more than 20 billion yuan with his two daughters, and now it seems that Murdoch's experience in China can be described as losing his wife and folding soldiers. Many netizens jokingly said that Murdoch smeared China in order to avenge a shot, after all, he suffered a fiasco in the Chinese market and Chinese women, and it is impossible not to move private emotions.
However, no matter what the reason, Murdoch's public opinion conspiracy has long been revealed to the world, many media and netizens have gradually recognized his two-faced, liarous face, good swimmer drowning in the water, using public opinion to create momentum Murdoch, will not be eaten by public opinion?
How long can this eighty- or ninety-year-old man control the empire? As the COVID-19 situation gradually eases, the investigation of the source of the epidemic gradually advances, and the truth is gradually emerging, what kind of liquidation will Murdoch and his media empire be subjected to as a pioneer in smearing China?
