Breaking news! Chinese company runs ads paid for by Chinese government! Did anyone think otherwise? All governments pay for ads. Who in their right mind would think a Chinese company would refuse their government as an ad customer?

Ads are one thing but state propaganda is something different. In a US political context this would be like the State of Florida running "Ads" on Facebook discussing how slavery was actually beneficial to the slaves. Get it now?
