Foreign funding is behind the spread of a narrative that is intended to erode young people’s spirit and society’s values, ministry said
The intention was to “erode the spirit of perseverance among China’s youth and even undermine the foundational values of our society”.
The ministry said it found that foreign organisations helped to fund anti-China media and think tanks to create a narrative that described people who worked hard in China as being exploited.
The unnamed organisations had also helped influencers to produce videos advertising that “lying flat is justice” and “anti-overwork is equivalent to anti-exploitation”, it said.
Meanwhile, their home countries, which were not specified, had been busy introducing bills to revitalise their economies and attract global talent.
