The Propaganda Airship is a Chinese armored airship tasked to broadcast propaganda over a wide area while also providing light fire support for advancing forces.
Concerns over civil unrest in urban areas and sensitivity over international outrage caused by their previous handling of such troubles led the Chinese Ministry of Information to examine less controversial methods for quelling restless populace.
General Jin, of the PLA Secret Police force, noted the possible use of the airship as a means of urban pacification through propaganda, and soon afterward a small fleet of specially equipped airships would hover over troubled cities filling the sky with their overwhelming size and patriotic propaganda broadcasts. Some were inspired by the sight, many were terrified, most desisted whatever civil disobedience they were involved in.
