Europeans STUNNED by America's Breathtaking Beauty!
Hmm..have to warn those Europeans that getting this close to a grizzly and her cub is a super bad idea. It could all be over in a matter of seconds.
I think we should hire the Europeans to help us find Bigfoot

I was completing expecting this reaction.
But unlike China...the US doesn't offer foreign influencers free trips and editing services just to put the name of our country in yellow capitals, our country flag pic, go to the same sites and read from the same script, and then give a "We've been lied to about..." propaganda spiel.
Like do you really think people aren't seeing a rather obvious propaganda pattern just in the thumbnail pics?
They even read the same scripts and use the same camera angles..check it out:
^^ Who is kidding whom here about which country is running elaborate propaganda campaigns? ^^
BTW in regards to the above video the US has a very popular monorail going through a building since 1971 in DisneyWorld...which pretty much everybody knows about.
There are certain other similar staged foreign influencer propaganda videos about other areas of a certain country that they want to show the world as being "fine"..using the same scripts..the same walking through a marketplace seeing certain "happy dancing people".
People from other countries thinking the US is great because of 'Eastern' propaganda is wrong. People from other countries thinking China is great is just 'getting free travel'.
The evidence I provide comes from documents from your country's officials, while the evidence you provide comes from other people's travel videos.
You or America's double standards have already brought too much misfortune to the world. Many people have lost loved ones and their lives because of your double standards.
Every country has good points and areas that need change. You can post content promoting the US, but you shouldn't accuse others without reason. Slandering other countries doesn't make the US better.

Contrarian view here.
There are plenty of posts from a handful of people constantly slandering the US. Including a couple of the Chinese members.

More effective than pandas: Beijing taps global youth influencers to promote ‘cooler China’
Experts say that influencer content might help China humanise its global image - but overly positive portrayals risk online backlash.
More effective than pandas: Beijing taps global youth influencers to promote ‘cooler China’
Experts say that influencer content might help China humanise its global image - but overly positive portrayals risk online backlash.
Street food, spontaneous dances with aunties, and marvelling at the convenience of high-speed trains and sleek electric vehicles.
These are some of the scenes of China being captured by foreign influencers on social media.
As part of efforts to rebrand itself on the world stage, Beijing is inviting young global influencers on an all-expenses-paid 10-day trip to China this July. There, they will collaborate with local content creators, immerse themselves in Chinese culture, and showcase the “real China” to their followers.
Recruiting influencers from around the world - able to engage audiences in more authentic ways - may do more for China’s soft power campaign than diplomats, or even cuddly pandas, say analysts.
“Their perceived independence and relatability may help present a more grassroots and humanised portrayal of China - one that resonates more with global audiences than messages delivered by state media, diplomats, or elite commentators,” said Dr Li Mei, a media and communications lecturer specialising in China at the University of Sydney.
Influencers are often seen as “genuine individuals rather than agents of political messaging”, she said, adding that “this higher level of trust makes influencers a more credible source of information and cultural exchange”.
“This influencer strategy … (is) to a large degree more effective than what we call panda diplomacy,” said Cheng Mingming, a professor in digital marketing at Curtin University in Perth, Australia.
“They might be invited by the Chinese government ... but content is generated by them, not the government so it's different,” he added.
Cheng also noted that the Chinese government wants outsiders to know that “China is developing rapidly, is actually a safe place to travel and is also enjoying really great economic growth”.
At a regular press conference on Jun 12, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian shared a message: “A true China with its multiple facets and dimensions is being discovered by more and more people around the world.”
“We will open wider, broaden our vision of innovation, and deepen cooperation to share more opportunities and benefits with the rest of the world, and let people all over the world see and experience an ever-cooler China,” he added.
SUCCESS OF ISHOWSPEED
One recent example of influencer power in action is US content creator IShowSpeed, who travelled to China for a 10-day visit in April.With a combined social media following of more than 120 million followers across various platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, IShowSpeed's visit was hailed as a major win for promoting Chinese soft power, sparking widespread curiosity among fans about developments in the country.
His videos and livestreams of travels across major cities like Chongqing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing - where he marvelled at Chinese high-speed trains and technology, used Chinese digital payment apps and test drove cutting-edge electric vehicles - have amassed millions of views on average and also turned him into a social media sensation within China.
Why looky looky looky...iShowSpeed was brought over on a free trip and what do you know the scripts and camera angles are the exact same as the video I posted showing all the other influencers.
In the above video SerpentZA said the script order is:
1) IShowSpeed "Ground floor"...no it's "22 floors"!!! Then the camera looks over the edge.
then:
2) IShowSpeed Show taking the escalator down to the subway platform
then:
3) IShowSpeed Train through building
of course there is also mentioning "CyberPunk" city.
SerpentZA showing multiple global influencers given free trips to China to read the same script.
These type of similar scripts are repeated for other places in China..including influencers reporting from Xinjiang that everything is "fine".
..and you are calling the video posted in this thread some kind of US propaganda campaign...meanwhile many videos about China are an even more elaborate charade.
