They fought the hard fight for public opinion control. And, through and through, they \u201cadhered to the center\u201d and \u201cachieved new results in serving the overall situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026] As I\u2019ve argued elsewhere, the internet and social media are now the heart of information control in China, and it is possible that both the Central Propaganda Department and GAPPRFT are now being marginalized in favor of the Cyberspace Administration and its chief, Lu Wei (\u9c81\u709c).
