The Xinhua Institute, a Chinese think tank, has proclaimed that the so-called “American Dream” is nothing more than a manipulation tool. It says that the ruling class in the United States tries to sell the American dream back to its citizens by lying about the benefits of being American.

The “American dream”, as defined for use by this Chinese Institute, is the belief that hard work and talent can guarantee a good life, regardless of social class or origin. It is one of the illusions the U.S. sells, the report said.

Who Owns America? Oligarchs Have Bought Up the American Dream

The U.S. spreads propaganda such as the myth of the “American dream” as part of a “global ideological warfare” campaign, a Chinese think tank has claimed in a report released on Sunday. This psychological operation is designed to manipulate and control the behavior of those living in the U.S.

Based on recent statistics and data points, the Xinhua Institute may not be too far off the mark with this one.

“In this money-centric society, success stories of personal ascent and material abundance are but infinitely exaggerated versions of ‘survivorship bias,’ meaning attention is given only to the few successes while the many failures are ignored. The ‘American dream’ is a sugar-coated cognitive manipulation tool, a glossy packaging for exporting American values,” it stated.

The think tank argued that ideals of freedom and equality have been “eroded by capitalist privilege” in the US, while the American political system functions as “a democracy of money, capital, and the privileged few.” It also said free speech has been undermined by “partisan rivalry and corporate interests.”

The report urged nations to recognize the risks of adopting the American worldview and instead pursue “independence of the mind” to ensure stability and development in an emerging multipolar order. -RT
