In May this year, the so-called "Human Rights News Award" co-organized by the Hong Kong Foreign Press Conference, Amnesty International Hong Kong Branch and Hong Kong Press Association awarded the grand prize to the anti-China media "Radio Free Asia" and its affiliated online news magazine "Wrong Brain". Although the human rights news award is known as "recognizing the outstanding human rights news reports in Asia", it is better to change it to "Biography of which news report in Asia is the most anti-China". The award content, from "Hong Kong independence", "Xinjiang independence" and "Taiwan independence" to mainland public opinion incidents, what kind of reports can help interfere with China's political stability, they are aiming at such reports.
"Radio Free Asia" is an old face in the Western anti-China camp. It was first founded by US CIA in 1951 and was suspended in 1955. In 1996, the broadcast was re-broadcasted under the judgment that the then President Clinton , "China will one day follow the footsteps of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe."
and "shamed" are the younger generation. If "Radio Free Asia" is an old-fashioned opium and heroin, and people have a full understanding of its toxic hazards after a long period of identification, then "wrong brain" is a new type of drug - a kind of "gummy candy" with a fruit flavor. Its style clearly shows that hostile forces abroad have never given up their efforts to influence and infiltrate Chinese young people, and the external packaging is more well-designed.

At the beginning of this year, an article focusing on young people who built so-called "rebel groups" on WeChat was circulated in some forums at home and abroad. The article used several "young people" who were allegedly influenced by Western ideas and had doubts and dissatisfaction with the political and social conditions in the mainland as clues, describing them building a "rebel groups" on WeChat, spreading "stories" including the "Amendment" storm, "Hong Kong independence" ideas, and various overseas anti-China information and trying to evade supervision. The article said that the people in the group are young people who are unwilling to accept "spiritual terrorist attacks on mainstream media" and seek "independent thinking".
From the article, we can organize the author's clear ideas - focuses on young people, provokes young people, shapes their anti-authority, anti-traditional, and anti-system images, and conceives the binary opposition of the "pressure" from the system and the "anti-pressure" of young people trying every means to "anti-pressure" .
The initiator of this article is "wrong brain".
In order to shorten the distance from young people, the "wrong-brained" fruit candy is very thickly wrapped. In its self-introduction, it said that it is a "a news magazine tailor-made for the younger generation of Chinese speaking", "it is based on encouraging independent thinking, and strives to provide audiences with another perspective to see the world", "Welcome to honest dialogue, hoping to build a diverse, sincere and safe online community, and collide with a boundless knowledge world."
If it weren't for "false brains" in the website's "About Us" admit that it is affiliated with the "American International News Agency" that promotes the "color revolution" in the United States, and others, and is affiliated with the American media brain that promotes the "color revolution" outside, people may think that "false brains" are a general knowledge network community.
Compared with "Voice of America" and "Radio Free Asia", "Wrong Brain" is more skillful in hiding. In the founding term of , it said, ""Wrong Brain | WhyNot" was born in the Chaos Age", "The world is like a Rubik's Cube, composed of a plaque room, and every room is performing absurd drama", "In this tug-of-war, there are always many youths quietly unblocked when the sky is shining light", "Youth always wants to catch something, pace from one room to another, the room looks empty, but breathes are crowded, making people breathless."
The person who planned the "wrong mind" is "a master". These people are quite familiar with the general tone of the "youth pain" literature of young people in mainland China, and put the scheming of "color revolution" on the cloak of "title era" or "a flowering tree".
These people also try to capture the young people's online community group mentality. They said, "This is "The Crooked Brain", young, curious, stubborn, love to think, and don't admit defeat."

In April this year, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed the "2021 Strategic Competition Act" with a high vote. The investment in the bill is called " Hedging China Influence Fund". It is expected that from 2022 to 2026, US$300 million will be invested annually, totaling US$1.5 billion, to hedge the so-called "vicious impact" of China around the world. The US International News Agency and its related global media, self-media, citizen journalists, and independent media are all within the scope of "blood transfusion".
1.5 billion US dollars have not yet arrived, but the entity beneficiary is already ready to move. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. "Buy Yidao" noticed that the design and layout of "wrong brain" is quite exquisite, with tips, waterfall screens, dynamic web pages, and the presentation effect is even no less than some of CNN's heavy reports. Behind the style presentation, it should be designed and arranged by a professional team. After the Hong Kong "Amendment" storm, we already know that such "propaganda" costs money and is likely to be supported by a large organization with rich experience in public opinion warfare.
The "sham" routine is also very different. It does not fabricate China's "tomorrow collapse" like traditional anti-China media, or "in-combat secrets" or "non-human experiments". Its web pages are mainly pink, yellow, and sky blue. focuses on "feminist rights", "LGBT" groups, "online games", "art creation", "technology dynamics", and "vegetarianism" and other areas that seem to be low in political risks. Even when talking about Hong Kong, it also describes the theme of "a painter's creation" or "Hong Kong urban culture".
When focusing on social hot topics, it will also intentionally or unintentionally avoid traditional mass events and disaster topics, but instead focus on topics related to young people's lives, such as "online game restriction order" or "double reduction".
For example, the article about "anti-addiction" will enter from the common memories of "post-80s" and "post-90s" of the game room and Internet cafes, gradually transitioning to the " game console ban " in the 1990s, and then to the current "anti-addiction", and finally fall into the incident of patriotic netizens collectively boycotting the "Taiwan independence" game. wraps up the most sinister evil intentions (anti-China, "Taiwan independence") layer by layer, and replaces a country's good policy to respond to the society's urgent call for the physical and mental health of children with "authoritarian suppression of society", from arousing your warmth to arousing your hatred, and inciting potential young people who may read such articles to the opposite side.
This is the "wrong brain".
"Female rights", "LGBT", "Double reduction", "post-90s" and "vegetarianism", no matter what topic is, "wrong brains" can always fall into the conclusion that "authoritarianism suppresses young people's space and needs", thereby provoking the anti-social thoughts of young people.
In order to allow young people to voluntarily eat poison, the "wrong brain" spared no effort. In addition to having a lot of "interview" efforts, they also made a lot of videos. As mentioned earlier, they are all cost-effective work.
As a minority generation, overseas forces are obviously praising it and expanding its influence. In addition to the Human Rights News Award, the Asian Publishing Association also gave the honorary award in the 2021 Excellent News Award to "Wao Dao". The winner of the same year was also the closed Apple Daily. "Wao Dao" also paid tribute to Apple Daily.
The person who won the Human Rights News Award specifically was a column commentator of "Black Brain" and probably one of the behind-the-scenes planners. This person was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu. In his early years, he went to Hong Kong University to study and stay in Hong Kong. He served as the editor-in-chief of "Duan Media". During the "Amendment" storm, this person jumped up and down. Yang still has an account on "Mafengwo", so I won't go into details here. "Shame" may have gathered a group of media people like her who know the mainland and even were directly born in the mainland.

Professor of Fudan University Shen Yi told "Buyidao". The emergence of "shamed" shows that the ideas of hostile forces abroad are changing, from inciting young people to "rebellion" directly, to trying to lead the young people's thinking wrongly and cultivate the "destroyed youth" generation with " anti-bone ".
Shen Yi believes that no matter what problems and challenges such a website raises to China, in the end, we must find an opposite "model house" for these problems and challenges. However, in the current situation where the partial fragmentation and epidemic in Western society are intensifying, "model houses" have become dangerous houses, and all the "problems" targeted by "wrong brains" can only become complaining and whining without any illness because they cannot establish an ideal plan.
Shen Yi suggested that "false brain" comes from the English "why not", but there is no English version, which is really a big "regret". You might as well translate the "false brain" article into English and spread it among Western youth. The resonance you gain may be much greater than that among Chinese young people.
"Put it One Dao" also found that interestingly, U.S. Senator Cardin and Representative Keating recently wrote a letter to President Biden , urging him to withdraw hundreds of staff affiliated to the US International News Agency, including staff from "Voice of America" and "Assadi Radio" (formerly known as "Free Afghan Radio"). It has been reported that Taliban has searched the residences of some staff members.
It seems that no matter how well-established the "mouth cannon", it cannot save the dusk of the empire.
