HK Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Scheme
Background Information
The cartoon is published in South China Morning Post under the section Harry's View. The section is known to publish satirical and critical cartoons on a daily basis. This particular cartoon was published shortly after Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced an increase in minimum age requirement for elders to be eligible for the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) scheme, which was something widely criticised as Hong Kong already lacks adequate welfare for the elderly as it is.

This is propaganda because
It satirizes Carrie Lam as a struggling old woman, a scene that is extremely in Hong Kong where the elderly is often out on the streets picking up cardboard and cans to sell to scrape together a living, criticising how this increase in minimum age requirement for CSSA scheme would most likely not bring improvement to HK elderly's livelihood.
It is not harmful in the sense that it does not introduce a new critical opinion that has not already been observed by most people. It simply reports on most Hong Kong's general view of the policy, and would probably hold little sway on people who do in fact support this policy.
