You replace china with a directorate with a (possibly different) propaganda goal. Don't know if that will be any better, safer or less evil.
Exactly my point. Hypothetically, even if the level of propoganda stays the same, at least it will be promoting western interests that may be harmful to us or may not. With Chinese propoganda you can be fairly certain their interests are in strengthening their own position and weakening ours. Anyway the western propoganda machine to the extent it exists is far more fragmented and weaker then the Chinese.
In short i trust the West more then china and even if the gulf might be shrinking, it will stay that way for the foreseeable future.
