Yea i dont expect it will trigger any introspection in people like “oh maybe I should be more critical of what the state dept says about x.” They’ll believe the very next lie they’re told even lol. But hopefully with respect to China itself it’ll erode the anti-Chinese/anti-communist sentiment among a decent portion of young(ish) people
Even if the only result is this leaves the door cracked open for non-US Hegemonic PoV as part of this “believing the last thing you heard,” that’s still a vast improvement over being fully ensorceled by the propaganda machine.
