It is literally propaganda, but could you explain to me how it is bad or negative propaganda?
The overarching motifs of the show are that the Chinese state is committed to protecting the rights of the workers. Let me give you an example:
In one arc, a factory owner hires mercenaries and dresses them up as cops in order to break a strike. In response, the anti-corruption bureau gets involved and arrests said mercenaries and demands a negotiation on behalf of the workers.
Another arc is about a Chinese businessman who has been bribing corrupt party officials in order to push for a return to bourgeois rule. When his accomplices are arrested, he is ‘forced’ to flee to Amerika, where the only job he can land is one of manual labor - a janitor - making shit wages and experiencing great disrespect for that occupation. His Westaboo petit bourgeois son convinces him to do this, claiming that Amerika is the true land of opportunity.
Arresting corrupt party officials and punishing bourgeois criminals are good things, or do you disagree?
