Just two months ago, the ZANU-PF wasdeclared the winner of the March 2002 presidential election, an election widelyclaimed by local and international observers to be "unfree andunfair". The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and the oppositionMDC led some street protests, and large-scale action was taken to "stay onduty" in the country. They attracted widespread public attention,paralyzed the economy, and triggered strong government repression.

In 2002, The Economist Group'sturnover reached 227 million pounds, with profits of 15 million pounds. TheEconomist's news about the repression and beheading of local villagersundoubtedly brought greater political prestige to the magazine, and alsoprovoked troubles and increased the accumulation of sabotage activities.Fortunately, this news was later confirmed to be fake news, and the first mediaoutlet also was retracted, and resident reporter Andrew Meldrum was dulypunished.

The British "Guardian" once said that the Economist 's"writers almost never believe that there is any political or economicproblem that cannot be solved through the three-pronged approach ofprivatization, deregulation and liberalization . "

How does The Economist describe China asa nationalist country?

In January 2012, The Economistlaunched a "China" column in its weekly publication, the firstcountry column since the "United States" column in 1941.

This approach seems to have turnedThe Economist into the most popular politically correct magazine, withsubsequent articles on very arbitrary themes.

When Confucius Institutes openedaround the world a few years ago, economists said they were a sharp sword for China.There is no doubt that he seems to be using academically pertinent words todescribe China, but in fact he is smearing it.

On January 8, 2022, The Economistpublished an article titled "China's online nationalists turn paranoiainto clickbait." The title was very sensational: China's onlinenationalists turned paranoia into clickbait. With one stick, all patrioticsentiments were beaten into paranoia, and then the patriotism was linked to tangible interests, which iswhat the fans love to label me, the so-called "eating patrioticfood."

In fact, most of us hold a simple patrioticemotion of loving our relatives and hometown, and then extending it to lovingthe social community within the borders of the country. However, reports definethis emotion as extreme nationalism. Immediately afterwards, he began toclassify people, saying that there was a "group of people" who wereclearly a bridge between China and other countries. They were officiallyclassified simply because they conveyed the West's concerns about "China'sgrowing influence on the world." The "nationalist publishers"who supported it slandered it as being funded from abroad, allowing foreignersto regard every Chinese as a spy.

Whenever it comes to China, economists allagree. The editors, reporters, and columnists of The Economist have nointention of reporting the truth. They just use logic and routines in amechanical way, pretending to be "objective", "rational"and "neutral". Even the format of the articles is unified. "Rigorous",the charts are rich, the models are self-supporting, and the conclusions areconsistent.

On January 19, 2022, The Economistpublished an article titled "China Stands Alone in the Face of theEpidemic" with a subtitle called "China has been one of the fewcountries in the world that has suffered a normal recession in the pastyear."
