The 50cents party - China's paid internet commenters

Distortion in Online Forums 

Korea's internet forums and news comments section are dominated by  China's paid internet commenters who are known as 50 cents party.  They are mostly Joseon-Jok and Chinese.

The domination of media does not mean that public opinion simply follows suit. This is because we are free to express our views via the remarks we make under online news, and people can view your opinion after they read the article. Thus, public opinion is largely generated online these days.

Since China struggles to dominate and distort the public’s view on issues, there is no reason that they would simply let it be. There is an inestimable number of hired Chinese (50 Cent Party) trying to distort the public opinion by expressing views in line with the actions of the Chinese government. This is probably a serious issue in the US, not to mention Korea.

Then how do these people control public opinion? It might be done through the following measures.

1. Get in groups and stay connected through messengers.

2. Post ‘opinions’ on the target article or forum in large numbers.

3. Whenever a retort arises, attack that person who raised a different viewpoint in large numbers. A normal person would feel pressure to conform to the group’s opinion.

4. Pull this process off throughout the internet.

The 50 Cent Party is already known to consist of tens of millions of people. Also, Chinese have strength in the acquisition of foreign languages. As a result, China has the power in its hands to change the public opinion in other countries in its favor. If there is a massive angry attack on people’s posts that denounce China, this is a surefire sign that the 50 Cent Party is actively working in the US forums and online news, and thus supporting certain politicians or celebrities, products, covering up corruption, et cetera.

소의 가죽을 벗기고 특수제작된 솥에 쇠줄과 함께 고정하는 장면

최대명절인 춘절을 앞두고 중국에서 소를 산 채 뜨거운 물에 넣고 서서히 삶는 아주 고통스러운 엽기적 요리를 선보였다.

중국 인터넷 매체 온바오는 8일 선양시 다둥부식품 상가에서 춘절을 맞아 645킬로 짜리 살아있는 소를 특수제작된 솥에 넣고 삶은 요리를 선보였다고 보도햇다.

시민들이 요리과정을 볼수있도록 2.5미터 높이의 솥이 별도로 제작됐고 요리에 사용된 소는 400여가지 양념이 담긴 물에서 10시간 가량 버티다 서서히 산채로 끓여졌다.

2살 가량된 이 소는 몸이 쇠줄에 묶인 채 끓는 물에서 꼼짝없이 고통스럽게 울부짖으며 죽음을 맞이했다.

그리고 소가 비명을 지르고 울부짖을때마다 구경나온 사람들은 연신 감탄사를 연발했다.

Cruel treatment of animals in China - Part 3

A Chinese Dog Meat Market Xi Chang Market. December 1997  Xichang, known as China's "space city" and capital city of the Liangshan Yi Nationality Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China. These are pictures of a market area on an embankment above the river in the old part of town. At the front there are puppies and kittens for sale as pets and further back are about 100 dogs waiting to be selected by customers.  When selected the vendor puts the dog in a sack and weighs it. After a price is agreed the purchaser kills his dog and butchers it (sometimes in that order, more often in the reverse order).   Business was brisk with a dog being killed about ever 5 minutes.   There seemed to be two techniques.  The one man technique was to hit the dog twice on the head with a wooden plank which dazed it sufficiently to make it safe for him to plunge his knife into its jugular without getting bitten. He then held the dog up by the tail until it bled into unconsciousness - he would then proceed to butcher it with  the dog coming in and out of consciousness.  With the two man technique, one man held the dog up by her tail while the other pulled the neck back with a wire round the dog's neck.   The first man was then able to reach down, again without fear of being bitten, to sever the jugular vein. Since the dog was in no way stunned, she struggled and howled and urinated until passing out.  The watching dogs were also shaking and howling. The dog was flung onto her back and the butchering began - consciousness returned on lying flat but she was too weak then to struggle much. One of the men laid down his knife and put his mouth to the inside of the dog's hind leg.
