Thalia's delicate collaboration with China's state apparatus

Is the Thalia bookstore doing progaganda for the Chinese state? A look at Thalia bookstores in Germany suggests that. There are bookshelves there with benevolent literature about China. The title does not choose Thalia, but China's state party.

Thalia works with China Booktrading and rents entire shelves to this company. China Booktrading is tied to the Communist Party of China and therefore only advertises books that show China and the Communist leadership in a good light. So you can really speak of Pro Chinese Propaganda shelves at Thalia.
