Right. It certainly happens to the West. But the governments in Western democracy have to be a bit more subtle when it comes to their propaganda and not run this stuff directly.

Arguably, more effective, due to their subtlety

I think they're sadly quite effective on us. But I think the Chinese "Communist" regime's propaganda is quite effective within China. It just doesn't work well on us.
