Such Hypocrisy—Beijing Officials Have Absolutely No Shame Left

China

Now, as grassroots governments run out of money, local television stations are facing “cut-off rations” and wage arrears. When employees who carry out CCP propaganda orders begin to taste the hardship of unpaid wages themselves, will they still be willing to ...
