There's probably some truth to this, but it also leans into the "MSM is lying to you" narrative that's pervasive in far right (and far left) circles. A production with [the appearance of] a low budget is associated with "genuineness" by most people. You can't be paid off by the big corpos if you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart...or so the reasoning goes.

    Do you value diversity, equity, and inclusion? Do you like having the ability to freely talk about ideas which might challenge The Party? Do you enjoy free and fair elections?

    If your answer to those questions is "no" then your value system is quite at odds with the average Western Liberal. Liberals love liberalism. China doesn't like liberalism. It's pretty obvious why there's friction between them, no propaganda required.
