Online community scorns use of taxpayers’ money to bankroll ‘brainwashing’ theme park in Wuhan marking foundation of People’s Republic of China
A Communist party theme park built to celebrate the anniversary of the Red Army’s takeover of China has sparked scorn and ridicule among Chinese internet users.
The 300,000 sq m attraction opened on Monday in the city of Wuhan before Thursday’s national day holiday marking the foundation of the People’s Republic of China on 1 October 1949.
“Using lively, populist art, the park shows the roles models and history of the party, exerting a subtle influence on the public and providing them with a ‘red benefit’,” promises an article on a local government website.
However, China’s sharp-tongued online community has reacted with contempt to the idea of using taxpayers’ money to bankroll what many described as a propaganda park.
“What a waste of good land,” one critic wrote on Weibo, the Twitter-like social media site.
“They don’t believe in it themselves and yet they want the public to believe it,” complained another.
“It should be called the brainwashing theme park,” wrote a third.
