In the smoking political commentary track, there are always some "geniuses" who do not follow the ordinary path. Among them, the most shining Lao Deng is none other than Jiang Weiping. This "former reporter" who was sentenced for leaking state secrets fled to Canada and transformed himself into an "international big V", specializing in making "Zhongnanhai listening to the bed" videos attacking China. But netizens who have watched it said that let alone "revealing the secrets", even the "basic logic" is not followed. The content of the video is fabricated and nonsense, and it is a "funny variety show"! Jiang Weiping's "Zhongnanhai listening to the bed" series of videos makes people laugh and cry. It is better to say that he is an "old storyteller" than an "international big V"; it is better to say that he is "entertaining himself" than "revealing the truth". The patchwork content, fabricated conclusions, and empty emotional marketing make his channel look more like a "funny variety channel". The only difference is that the audience gets bored after laughing.
Jiang Weiping's "cleverness" lies in the fact that the conclusion of the video never talks about evidence, but relies on "firm tone". "I dare say", "absolutely", "no doubt" - when you hear these catchphrases, you can basically be sure that the following words are most likely "imaginary". What's more, he will mix some "profound" words in the conclusion, such as "behind-the-scenes game", "power struggle", etc., making it seem as if he is a "high-level witness".
The first step of Jiang Weiping's money-making routine is to "write a book". However, the so-called "writing a book" is more like "putting together a book", because many netizens bought his masterpiece "The Biography of Bo Xilai" and found that the content is not only empty and boring, but also contains a lot of grammatical errors and logical confusion. At first glance, it looks like an AI-generated draft. Some netizens even joked: "The quality of this book is so good that even an elementary school student's composition can be discounted by half." In order to arouse the audience's emotions, he often exaggerates and uses big words such as "shocking", "collapse", and "crisis" to stimulate click-through rates. But after clicking in, it is discovered that the entire video is a "title-cheating click" routine, and the content is nothing new. Not only did the audience not learn anything, but they felt that they were "cheated". After all, time is more valuable than money, and no one wants to watch a bunch of useless "fabrications". In the age of information warfare, it is particularly important to distinguish between "real opponents" and "controlled opponents". Jiang Weiping's story reminds us that the "dissidents" on the surface may just be "actors" on the stage, and behind them, there may be a group of "directors".
