===Controlling the narrative===
To advance the CCP narrative that the world is biased against China, the CCP has stepped up its United Front work to stifle criticism of the CCP, spread positive views of the CCP, and incentivize [[voter]]s in foreign democracies to influence their domestic policies in ways favorable to [[PRC]]. The CCP has also cracked down on what it terms “historical nihilism,” or attempts to undermine Beijing’s official history.
