You made the claim that the PRC is run from a top-down manner. If you can't substantiate claims you make, then don't make them.
Secondly, if the press is not publicly owned, then it becomes privately owned, and as such is subject to effortless bourgeois domination. You are trying to have your cake and eat it too in order to play the endless contrarion.
Again you construe publicly owned and government-owned
I do not misconstrue anything, here. Public property is accomplished from within the ownership of government, a news organization being a worker coop doesn't mean it is immune to bourgeois influence.
true, and a government being elected also doesn't make it immune to bourgeois influence, and especially not to influence from the politicians themselves
Correct, which is why you need to understand that the class in power in the PRC is the proletariat and the party structure gains its legitimacy and power from the bottom-up.
