Yeonmi Park, DPRK defector and conservative media darling. Claims of her life in North Korea are debated hotly- things along the lines of they eat rats and the like.
My favorite bit is that she’s well known for her exaggerations about the DPRK, yet will say US college campuses run by liberals “remind her of it.” That’s why conservatives love her so much and why she makes good money, and why other defectors have criticized her for essentially spinning tales in a way that ends up undermining actual struggles in North Korea, or distorting their character for profit.
So, the joke here is that you’ve got someone, presumably a Chinese official, saying a reality about America in a startling way that sounds like completely cooked up propaganda but isn’t.
Dumb question, what is this meme format about?

Thanks!

It would still be propaganda. Propaganda doesn’t have to be false.
Right, yes, but the joke is that it’s said in such a way as to sound like an outright fabrication.
