秦火火的言论无论如何离谱，也仅仅是属于个人传递的言论信息，并不比李白的文字夸张。人民日报，央视，新华社，环球，政权宣传系统的存在使命既(即)为蓄意伪造事实，扭曲真相，给人民洗脑。(However outrageous Qin Huohuo’s remarks are, they are just the expression and information transmitted by an individual. They are no more exaggerated than [poet] Li Bai’s words. The raison d’etre of the regime’s propaganda machine—People’s Daily, CCTV, Xinhua, Global Times—is the deliberate falsification of facts, distortion of truth, and brainwashing of the people.)
