This, pretty much.
They used propaganda and incentives, including bussing in peasants from the countryside to go see it, and probably just fudged a lot of numbers by literally just buying tickets with CCP money. I mean, who gives a fuck, right? Every business is owned by the CCP, so if they scam a bunch of ticket sales by buying them, they can literally buy their own tickets and break even because they're paying themselves.
It's retarded command economy authoritarian shit. It's all a scam because the Chinese are fucking retarded and think they can trick the world into thinking they matter if they can fake some numbers.
All this done to support a retarded nationalist dream, not realizing that they're the only ones who even care in the first place. It's kind of like the Olympics; Americans in general don't even fucking care anymore. We don't even watch it, really! We just take it for granted that we win every time, don't bother watching it, don't really care.
But every faggot third world country takes it deadly seriously because they think, somehow, if they can scam their way to the top somehow they'll be able to finally prove that they matter. They're competing with people who don't give a shit and they STILL lose.
Unironically, the people spamming all these threads are actually Chinese shills and they ought to be banned on that basis.
