Here are some of the top takeaways. 🧵
TLDR: Chinese state media ran an analysis on accounts that have been interacting with @TGTM_Official between March & April.

"Some countries have been waging a public opinion war against China in recent years through a series of coordinated campaigns, with translation playing a key role" - Prof Tang Jingtai discusses what needs to be done to regain control over China-related international discourse

Prof. Tang of Fudan University's School of Journalism argues that "mistranslations, omissions, additions, and amplifications are frequently observed in Western popular opinion on some key issues and events relating to China."
Tang believes it is mostly driven by two factors: first, an understandable lack of knowledge of Chinese culture, history, political and economic systems, and so on, which leads to mistranslations, conflations, and out-of-context interpretations.

Global Times named me as “a core participant” in the Great Translation Movement in this so-called “investigation”, but they never for once contacted me for an interview. This is how China’s state media conducts “investigative journalism”.
Let’s start from the beginning. There are no bylines to this “in-depth” Investigation. No one wants to put their name on an article published by one of the biggest propaganda outlet in the world? How humble and selfless!
GT calls the translation a “smear campaign”. “Smear” means damaging one’s reputation by *false accusation*. My tweet thread is based entirely on actual contents from an actual WeChat group. Unless GT can point to error in the translation, where is the “smear”?
