== Cyrus Janssen on main page right news. He appears to be paid by the Chinese communist government ==
 
Cyrus Janssen appears to be paid Chinese propaganda: "So let’s clarify this. This is a CGTN/CCTV video, that CCTV is paying Cyrus Janssen to post on his YouTube channel, as his own video with his copyright, which then will be (magically) shared to CGTN’s channel and other Chinese platforms (“see how some enlightened foreigners understand and love us?”)."[https://factcheckchina.quora.com/caught-red-handed-file-away-this-evidence]
 
The Chinese communist government does appear to paying YouTubers for propaganda purposes (And communist governments don't have a good track record for telling the truth).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBsXuTvFfNA][https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57780023]
 
With that being said, I am not a big believer in sanctions as they often don't work ([https://www.piie.com/commentary/testimonies/evidence-costs-and-benefits-economic-sanctions like 35% success rate under certain conditions]) and they and also have unintended consequences (Often don't work as intended).[https://washingtondc.jhu.edu/news/do-sanctions-actually-work-experts-evaluate-the-efficacy-of-this-widely-used-foreign-policy-tool/][https://www.hoover.org/research/why-economic-sanctions-dont-work][https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/12/13/technology/china-propaganda-youtube-influencers.html#:~:text=State%2Drun%20news%20outlets%20and,offered%20to%20pay%20the%20creators.]
 
My past experience with Cyrus Jansenn is that he attempts to promote the idea that things are going great in China which is simply not true (High youth unemployment; real estate crisis, Chinese stock market has lost 7 trillion dollars in 3 years).
