警惕舆论暗战：谁在狙击向上生长的中国企业？

Core Viewpoint - BYD has recently faced two public relations crises that appear to be orchestrated, highlighting the manipulation of public opinion against the company [1][2]. Group 1: Recent Events - On July 10, BYD announced a partnership with the youth training organization "China Football Young Players," planning to invest in youth player development over the next five years, which was misrepresented as "huge sponsorship for the national team" [1]. - Following this, a campaign to "boycott national team sponsors" gained traction on social media, with hundreds of accounts using similar language to confuse "support for youth training" with "sponsoring the senior national team," inciting negative public sentiment towards BYD [1]. - On July 24, a video of a BYD vehicle allegedly "losing control" at Chengdu Tianfu Airport spread widely, labeled as "brake failure," coinciding with the launch event of BYD's Sea Lion 06, suggesting an attempt to divert public attention [1]. Group 2: Black Public Relations Tactics - The incidents reflect a typical "black PR" operation, with regional media amplifying the narrative and using inflammatory language, while marketing accounts collaborated to rapidly escalate the topic's visibility [2]. - The spread of misinformation through short video platforms, where sensational content is favored by algorithms, has made it difficult for the truth to gain traction, as BYD's rebuttals were quickly overshadowed [2]. Group 3: Industry Context - The transformation and upgrading of the Chinese automotive industry rely on companies like BYD that are willing to innovate and take responsibility, impacting not only their growth but also the transition from "Made in China" to "Created in China" [3]. - Supporting BYD is fundamentally about safeguarding the courage of Chinese enterprises to innovate and the hope for industrial upgrades, emphasizing the need for rational participation from netizens and a societal consensus against malicious manipulation of public opinion [3].
