[China's Propaganda: Part 5 of 9]

PRC: "Propaganda Guidelines Regarding the Current Situation"

Written in simplified Chinese, the titular document is allegedly issued by the PRC to cope with information flow. The document was circulated on the internet since earlier this week. An English translation is provided as follows:

(1) It is strictly forbidden to report any Hong Kong citizens' democratic demands positively. The government's power to influence action and decision should be comprehensively deployed to control the public opinion. All incidents should be classified into the following “3 conflicts”, namely:
1. Patriotism Vs Seperatism
2. Peaceful Vs Violent
3. Lawfulness Vs Unrest

(2) Do report a moderate number of demands concerning livelihood, but only up to a certain degree without too much highlight. It is allowed to convert political events into incidents related to the enconomy, but all events shall foremost be defined as criminal acts.
