China 2.0: User Generated Propaganda (Hip hop-style)

By thomascrampton ⋅ April 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Olympic Torch controversy has inspired a web 2.0 take on national pride: User Generated hip hop propaganda in support of the Beijing Olympics. (There is also a subcategory of video arguments about Tibet, this one by an American anonymized by a Groucho Marx face painted over his face.)

They have been big on Chinese platforms, like Sina for some time, and are now moving onto YouTube.

Here is a Hip Hop-style propaganda and below it Powerpoint-style Propaganda.

Hat tip to Danwei.
