Is this the worst propaganda show ever?

The singing farmer Maimaiti, is stuffing his donkey's sack with cash in this performance, staged by China's national broadcaster and viewed by an estimated 400 million people, It featured merry members of the Uighur minority singing the praises of Communist Party policies, but bore little relation to the reality of life in Eas Turkestan/Xinjiang which so many uighurs bemoan as oppressive .

 Its these heavy handed policies which are blamed by many hunan rights organisations for provoking provoked the deadly riots in the western region of East Turkestan in summer 2009.
