The segment came from the show 主播說連播 with moving music in the background he state
"Pandemic, Flooding, we experienced alot of problem in 2020, but no matter how big the problem, if we divide the problem by 1.4 billion, no matter how big the problem, it will become nothing, no matter how small our power, multiplying it by 1.4 billion can overcome any problem, there will still be challenge, if everyone holding hand, we can over come it."
「疫情、汛情,2020我們經歷了不少意外。但是,再大的困難除以14億,也會變得微不足道,再小的力量乘以14億,也足以戰勝一切困難!挑戰還會有,只要大家手拉手在一起,就能挺過去!傳遞!一起加油!」

Normally, it would be spread online alot by CCTV through online community, but this time, didn't because the response to it has been very negative, and afraid of netizen flooding the video and posting negative comment.

Only 中國東方文化研究會文教藝術專業委員會 (China Easterun Culture study art group) posted it on their Weibo(China version of Twitter) which immediately became a target for netizen, and htey had to remove it

Common response are as follow, "Why is the the problem divided by 1.4 billion and share, what about the good thing?" "Spliting property, car and hospital room? What about dividing those?" "So only sharing problem, and not good thing" and such type of comment.

Can we get some additional context here? Is he just saying "hey, we can do it together" and people took that negatively for some reason?
From what I understand they're stating that they all share the burden of problems. But when it comes to prosperity, access to health care, material wealth only a select few get it.

They are down playing currently situation with the pandemic and flood etc and trying to spread positivity but back fired. For a lot of the people that are barely surviving there is just no light at the end of the tunnel...many people can barely save themselves left alone helping out the others. This is totally unnecessary for cctv.

Eh I'll take any instance of pushback against this sort of milquetoast reassurances from the CCTV and subsequently the CCP gladly.

The sooner the Chinese citizens start making their own government uncomfortable the better, especially since nothing ever happens waiting around for other world governments / corporations to do anything about it.

Seems like a reasonable pushback and thing to be irritated by. When "let's all come together" is only used in negative times to pacify it should warrant a raising of eyebrows.

From what I gathered, it's one of those "we all gotta band together to solve this problem" but once the problem is solved, all but a few people won't benefit from the solution.

Yeah, I'm not certain why this has to be spelled out for people here. China is going through the most severe natural disaster in decades and a tone deaf segment was met with backlash.
 
I'm interested to see if this kind of sentiment continues to crop up. I find the CCP pretty terrifying honestly and it would be interesting to see how/if any large swath of the populace begins pushing back against them (although obviously it's a life threatening action).

This is more ire toward the usual tone deathness of CCTV, as oppose to the CCP. It is nothing new and I wouldn't overanalyze it.

Fair, and disappointing.

Yep, if they go riot it is usually against local government and it can get pretty violent with throwing fire bottle and other thing.

Last year in Guangdong protest against a crematorian(Place where burn dead body)
At a farming village in Guandong, got all the neighboring villager to protest and riot against it, since it was origionally said to be a park, then suddenly turn to crematorian, and that is not good for farming due to polution

This is really interesting thanks. So, unsurprisingly, the nation is so massive that any mobilisation of the populace is basically unlikely to be greater than local government level. National-level reaction and protest is super unlikely. So crazy.

(Also it's "crematorium" :) )

That's interesting. China is so cut off it's hard to get critical opinions from people that live there. Of course the language barrier doesn't help.

Ignore that poster and keep it coming please. We get tons of dumb Florida threads anyways, this affects a much larger populace and makes era just a little less western/US centric.
Socialise the losses, privatise the profits.
That's how it always works out isn't it. Trickle down losses, trickle up profits.

Almost like greedy, capitalist countries are all the same, lol.

I genuinely can't tell if you're unaware that, throughout this thread, your series of posts have viewed China as some exotic, strange hivemind country controlled by a singular CCP... because honestly, even if that's not how you view the country, that's how you sound.

China really isn't that cut off. Language barrier is a different issue, but that's not any different than getting critical opinions from Germans or French, if you speak English.

I won't lie: practically the ONLY media we get in the west about China, without unusual amounts of research, IS that. We only hear about the CCP, about Urghyur genocide, about food hygiene leading to COVID... we have literally nothing about what average life is like in China.

like, it's 1.4 billion people. So that's insane. Preposterous small-mindedness. But it's how the human mind works.

Please fucking educate me!
