Have you enjoyed some Chinese propaganda lately? I did.

In January I watched the Chinese drama, Draw the Line. Some people (okay, mostly those not of the Chinese persuasion) have dismissed the drama as Chinese propaganda because it had to do with the Chinese legal system, which made me think, so because you think it’s propaganda you are not going to watch it?

To quote Uncle Roger:

Like most people in Asia and South-East Asia, I have consumed Western movies all my life.

I have imbibed the “America saves the world” message and watched American armies swoop down to save the unwashed masses of brown people in movies over and over again, either in spandex or in big planes, and I would like to reassure you that I’ve not lost my marbles nor have I turned American.
