At the New York Times, Chris Buckley likens the narrator\u2019s deep voice to James Earl Jones\u2019s:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The voice-over might sound a little too much like Darth Vader for some, and some of the lines \u2014 \u201cweal and woe\u201d \u2014 might sound musty. But the intent is clear: to reassure an international audience that the Communist Party is a benign vehicle for realizing the Chinese people\u2019s aspirations.<\/p>\n […] China\u2019s state news media has celebrated the video as a brilliant display of the party\u2019s ability to communicate and to win people over with its message. Critics on Twitter have given it a thumbs down, however, with some suggesting that a one-party authoritarian state fraught with corruption is not the best vehicle for realizing people\u2019s dreams.
