A joke

In an effort to alleviate growing international criticism, the CCP decided to implement a new media relations strategy. For this purpose the government recruited the top young party members who had just recently received degrees in communications and political relations from top western universities to train the older members. One of these recruits, Li, was sent to work with old time party member Wong and his aid.

"Alright", Li said, "I'm going to ask a question and I want you to respond like I was a member of the media. What do you say to the allegations that China is among the worlds leading polluters?"

"How Dare You Insinuate that China is Responsible for Global Pollution! You must be banished to Xinjiang! No one will ever hear of you again! You worthless pig!", shouted party member Wong.

"No, No, remember we're working with the new media relations guidelines, you need to be more understanding", Li interjected. "Let's try it again. What do you say to the allegations that China is among the worlds leading polluters?"

This time Wong responded, "We understand that pollution is a concern for all growing and globalized countries. The government is issuing new regulations and working with companies to curb the impact China has on the global environment."

"That's great! We'll continue the training tomorrow", Li said as he left the room.

Turning to his aid, Wong asked what he thought of the training.

His aid responded, "It's good, but we'll have to send him to Xinjiang, he knows about the pollution."
