propaganda card

[Catalina Silvestre]

The propaganda poster that I received dealt with the idea of anti United States ideas.  The soldiers that are on the card seem to be on the defensive line protecting the people and the country itself from the ideologies of those trying to come in and makes changes to their economical, political, and social system. Many of eh posters that come out during that time share the same idea "Remember this well, world. Those who mess with our great mission will become our target."   I also found a site online that said that the card deals with the idea that, “On hard pressure, we'll fight with hard hits, On sanctions, with merciless punishment.”  I ultimately believe that this card is a representation of what will and should be done in order to protect and serve the political structure and beliefs of those willing and ready to take a stand to protect what they believe to be right.

I agree with the assertion that China has tried to protect their political structure and in order to do that it has invested in heavy propaganda at various times on their history.  Also, it is a good reminder that they have allowed enough changes to keep their system working as it is, but at the same time they also use represion when it is needed and to remind their citizens that they are still a communist country.  As I observe more of this playing cards, I wonder how much influence this type of propaganda changed the minds of a whole generation of Chinese workers and their children in a positive or negative way.  Nevertheless, there is no doubt that China is a great country.
