I just love how western media keeps talking up some sort of a collapse in China every few months, and people still fall for it. Like the last 1000 times turned out to be nonsense, but this time for sure!
It really shows how a lot of people in the west have a deep seated hate of China that’s been bred into them by the media, and aren’t able to even think about the subject critically.
chef’s kiss
That article is so good. That and Parenti’s Inventing reality are great intros to how controlled media is in western countries.
Oh also this video lining up ~44 US local news stations doing the exact same script.
Inventing Reality is so long, I am going through it in audio form, whenever getting time.
It’s sadly a global problem, not only in the western journalism. In some places, journalists risk their lives if they tell the truth that the economic and political powers do not like. The media therefore reflect the truth that suits a certain lobby. See Asange and others, but China isn’t better, even censored and blocks media which don’t reflect a positive opinion of the policy (The Great Firewall, part of The Golden Shield Project). https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/
i wonder if when the EU bans twitter will we see people call it a “great firewall” or will we be instructed to cheer? as we are now safe from russian, chinese, muslim, etc propaganda
It isn’t a censure, if a web spread fake news and hate speech. Same if a web is closed because offering piracy soft or spread malware. That has nothing to do with censoring free speech. In China the police control the mobiles of the people, if they used not autorized apps. Not the same

radiofreeasia lol… okay that was single instance by a single local official, its easy to delete an app on your phone, and if you think a $3 a month VPN turns you into James Bond…
This are the VPN allowed in China 😂 Seriously, I am not defending the West, which is far from being a real democracy, but neither can I defend China with the current president, it is a dictatorship with obvious violations of human rights and censorship and surveillance that I would not want here. Communism is based on the sovereignty of the people and China is currently far from this, with the only sovereignty being that of its leader.
so both sides same, but the left is always worse? is that the motto of the Julian Assange fan club? You wouldn’t care about censorship in qatar, or el slavador because you’re not really worried about them taking over the world and putting all the white christian men in cages or whatever like you think china and russia will. Even if I could show you that the US and EU had censorship ten times worse than China it wouldn’t convince you the story is overblown exaggerated propaganda it would just convince you censorship is actually a good thing. So you’re not even worried about censorship coming to america or the EU you’re only using these stories to further a McCarthyistic cold war scare. It only exists to serve your propaganda, if I disprove it you’ll just run off in search of something else. So its kind of pointless to discuss these things, and unfortunately I can’t just demand that you explain your theories on why the reptilian space jews want to give us all windmill cancer and turn the frogs gay directly because you’ll just pretend you have no clue what I’m talking about pretend to be insulted even though you know exactly what I’m talking about and aren’t insulted at all.
What happened to the rule “No hate speech, bigotry, propaganda, etc”?
Idk, i see western journalism here all the time.
