Why China is growing it’s media influence in Indonesia

Jakarta, INDONESIA (DT) – China has expanded its media influence globally to support its growing clout in the world.

Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy, is also a target of Beijing media propaganda due to the former’s strategic location for China’s Belt and Road Initiatives.

Around the world, the Chinese government is dispersing its version of information through content-sharing deals under media partnership, censorship and training of foreign journalists.

China adopts the above strategies to amplify narratives in line with the Chinese Communist Party’s interests, especially in countries where Beijing has high stakes.

Indonesia is no exception and here, China is using at least three media strategies.

Inviting journalists to China and cooperating with Indonesian media


Additionally, in the past few years, China has actively invited foreign journalists to the country to supply them with its own version of information.

In 2019, the Indonesian Journalists Association attended the Belt Road Initiative Journalists Forum conference organized by CCP-affiliated All China Journalist Association (ACJA).

Supported by the China Communications University and China International Radio, the cooperation covers journalist exchange, journalist training, joint reporting and academic activities.

Upon returning, one journalist from Lombok wrote a piece on local newspaper, praising China and its press freedom.

In the same year, following increased protests on China’s repression of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, Indonesian journalists, along with leaders of the country’s Muslim organisations were invited to China on a choreographed tour to Xinjiang, in which they were taken to only limited parts of the Uyghur camps.

Besides inviting journalists to China, Chinese media entities have also established ties with their Indonesian counterparts to support its content-sharing strategies. This strategy enables Chinese state media contents to circulate widely, reaching Indonesian audiences through local media.

Liz Truss resigns as Britain’s Prime Minister after a 45 days tenure

 

Prime Minister Liz Truss has just resigned after being in office for just 45 days — the shortest tenure of any UK PM. The previous record holder, George Canning, died in office after serving 119 days back in 1827. So, yeah. Not great.

Some facts, She is lucky or unlucky : 

  • Two days after Truss becomes PM, Queen Elizabeth II dies.
  • Less than one month into the job, Truss introduces radical fiscal policies, which promptly crash the pound, causing it to fall to a historic low.
  • Truss damages Britain’s economic standing on a global level and brings the country to the brink of a recession, and prompting the Bank of England and the IMF to intervene.
  • On Oct. 20, Truss resigns after 45 days in office, breaking a new record for the shortest tenure of a PM. The UK will soon be onto its third prime minister of 2022.

Trump calls GOP Senate hopeful Joe O’Dea ‘stupid’ over 2024 White House remarks

Former President Donald Trump blasted Colorado GOP Senate hopeful Joe O’Dea as “stupid” after the candidate suggested the ex-commander-in-chief shouldn’t run for the White House again.

O’Dea also said on CNN Sunday he would “actively campaign against” Trump if he threw his hat in the ring for 2024, which the 45th president didn’t take kindly to Monday with Election Day less than a month away.

Republicans are looking to knock off Colorado Democrat Michael Bennet who has served in the US Senate since 2009.

“There’s this RINO [Republican in Name Only] character in the Great State of Colorado, Joe O’Dea that is running against the incumbent Democrat for the United States Senate, who is having a good old time saying that he wants to ‘distance’ himself from President Trump, and other slightly nasty things,” Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social.

“He should look at the Economy, Inflation, Energy Independence, defeating ISIS, the Strongest EVER Border, Great Trade Deals, & much more, before he speaks. MAGA doesn’t Vote for stupid people with big mouths,” said Trump.

O’Dea didn’t back down Monday, stating he’s his “own man.”

“I’m a construction guy, not a politician,” O’Dea said in his statement, according to CNN.

“President Trump is entitled to his opinion but I’m my own man and I’ll call it like I see it.

“Another Biden, Trump election will tear this country apart. DeSantis, Scott, Pompeo or Haley would be better choices,” he said in reference to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Carolina US Sen. Tim Scott, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former US Ambassador Nikki Haley.

“These elections should be focused on Joe Biden’s failures – supercharged inflation, a broken border, rampant crime, a war on American energy – not a rehash of 2020. America needs to move forward.”

O’Dea panned Trump on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday for not doing enough to calm the violence on Jan. 6, 2021 and stressed the country has to move forward with a handful of “really great Republicans” who could retake the White House in two years.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • BJP’s Subramanian Swamy tweeted about Xi Jinping’s house arrest rumours

  • Some on social media accounts claimed Li Qiaoming has been made China’s President
  • There has been no official confirmation of the news yet

Diplomat Times (Beijing) – There is speculation that Chinese President Xi Jinping is presently under house arrest in Beijing, with many on social media platforms claiming that a new President has been appointed. The allegations come mere days after Xi attended the SCO summit in Samarkand alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other world leaders. The manner in which Xi Jinping has shaped his foreign policy has left many in his own party in the lurch. He wanted to run his country and the world with the policy of suppression. The Hong Kong riots sought to exercise muscle power against the freedom of ordinary people. He became unloved by the people of his country while trying to increase his prestige. Muslim people of that country Above the inhumane torture, the action taken with Taiwan in the present time is suicidal. But we have not seen any results in the current Russia Ukraine war. We can guess that the war in Ukraine is moving towards dire consequences. The young soldiers that Xi Jinping has incited for war have no combat experience. the past. The way China was killed by India in the Galvan conflict, P.L.A.There was dissatisfaction in this. Xi Jinping did not give minimum respect to the soldiers.

Inexperienced Chinese soldier lost his life due to extreme cold on the Indian border. Xi Jinping has been unable to measure India’s strength. Xi Jinping has no trade policy. Imperialist policy was replaced by commercial policy. EO wanted to take over the poor countries like Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka by showing the greed of loans. Xi Jinping was under the suspicion of all countries in the world due to the corona situation. Xi Jinping did not think about how to get out of the country’s economic situation. But he has repeatedly encouraged North Korea against America…. So Xi Jinping himself is responsible for this situation today.
