Kaizhung: Desire for Destruction
Kaizhung: Desire for Destruction is a controversial Flarlandian documentary made in December 2020/January 2021 for the Voice of Flarland (itself banned in the People's Republic of Kaizhung since September 2020). The documentary, produced to mark the first anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, oficially known in Flarland as the "Kaizhungese virus pandemic", is critical of the Kaijing regime and of the supposed hidden data related to the pandemic. Other issues tacked in the series include oppression of political rights, its plans of world domination (especially the Belt and Road Initiative), the Ging Ho Paper scandal and oppression of minorities. It is also critical of the Falun Gong-backed Epoch Times media group, who is heavily critical of the Flarlandian government.
Episodes[edit | edit source]
1: Road to Communism[edit | edit source]
How Kaizhung became a communist state, including how it adopted a market-capitalist scheme.
2: Global Control[edit | edit source]
The country's market-capitalist scheme advanced the country to new heights and surpassed what used to be one of Sondria's largest economies, Orience. But how can Kaizhung take over the world?
3: A Pandemic That Put the World to Waste[edit | edit source]
Concentrates about the pandemic which in Flarland is still labelled "Kaizhungese flu" by the media, as well as Flarland's role in the Protests Against Kaizhung.
4: Technocracy[edit | edit source]
The country's tech and IT sectors have been witnessing a sharp rise. But another issue emerging on the horizon, 5G, is leading to massive demonstrations against the People's Republic.
5: Fight for Freedom[edit | edit source]
Many Flarlandians say that the Kaizhungese flu is likely to trigger Kaizhung and communism to dominate the world - that the lockdown and protective measures were perceived as "too Communist" by the masses.
6: Will the PRK Collapse?[edit | edit source]
The last and most controversial episode is also slightly rushed. Most of the episode consists in audio interviews with ten people closely linked to dissidents of the Kaizhungese regime. It ends with a call for action to end the regime, something that has been seen with high levels of criticism.
Controversies[edit | edit source]
Role in the diplomatical incident with Kaizhung[edit | edit source]
Potential role in shootings against Sondrians in the United States and possible misunderstandings[edit | edit source]
As the number of hate crimes to Sondrians in the United States of Sierra grew in regards to the pandemic, it is believed that the documentary series played a pivotal role in a number of shootings, even without the perception many Sierrans have of the Kaizhungese. People of Daehanian descent were also killed.
Hang Peng 97[edit | edit source]
The infamous Oriencian video game Hang Peng 97 witnessed a sharp rise as a consequence of the documentary and many people believe that the game is serving as a training ground for Flarlandians to do what the game calls "the massacre of the Reds".
