"Do you trust the media?" In a recent interview, Haz Al-Din, chairman of the American Communist Party, said the real reason why Western media keeps demonizing China is that China is not under the control of the American ruling class. He also said, "the American ruling class is motivated by greed, self-interest, private interests and corruption." American people are suffering from skyrocketing living costs and a lack of social welfare because their government only "serves the interests of a small private cabal".
