Silent Contest (Chinese: 较量无声) is a Chinese communist military propaganda film produced by the People's Liberation Army's National Defense University Information Management Center, purporting to expose and explain the secret battle, or conspiracy, the United States is waging against the People's Republic of China.[1][2][3] The documentary runs for 92 minutes. Some analysts have called it a "masterpiece" of political propaganda, while others called it "eerie," "paranoid," "bizarre," or "alarming."
The Chinese Communist Party-owned tabloid Global Times claimed the film represented the views of nationalistic Chinese military academics; however, Western academics dispute this, arguing that the film accurately represented the Chinese government's party line.[4] The film is interspersed with narration that drives the explanation of the U.S. plot. It first circulated among military enthusiasts and Internet users in China in October 2013.[3]
