Looks like China is trolling Australia with doctored pictures of Australian soldiers killing children circulating on Chinese social media

Scomo will have something to say shortly
Pretty old thread.
But I have to say, it's not "doctored pictures". This is the work of an active painter.
A painting!
This once again demonstrates how skewed China's information is after it reaches Australia. Can't believe this is happening with a large number of Chinese speakers in Australia.
And I, sadly, find that many of the arguments made by my opponents in the past are actually so solid.
That painter, he was quite popular with the pro-establishment for his artistic effect and ideology at that time.
But he and his supporters became a popular meme that was ridiculed when everyone found out that he would only use "artistic satire" to focus on Anglo-countrises tragedies but not China's. Only the most radical pro-establishment factions would dare to still follow him.
Although different factions will choose different narrative angles or standards, there is a strong preference in the field of international political debate in China to apply the same standard to all countries.
People who aren't or don't pretend to be will not gain a voice (at least not for long) in political debate because it's an extremely easy loophole to catch.
