yeah I explored this problem with my classmates a long time ago. we concluded that the best approximation was 煽动 (“agitation”) even though it’s much more of a verb so to noun it you’d have to use it like 煽动行为 (“agitating act”)
also “announcement” is more 公告. 宣传 is more “promotion”.
What?
I thought that was “to provoke” or “fanning the flames”
As in: The Wechat articles that my parents read, claims that “the HongKong Protests were '煽动’ed by the US Government” (their words, not mine). I don’t think it translates to propaganda
like i said it’s “agitation” and the best approximation when also accounting for connotation. as you note it’s still a ways off
The Chinese Wikipedia page for propaganda uses 政治宣傳, and I think that works too
Still no negative connotations afiak. That’s like “political announcement/speech/publications”,
