    I don’t see your point on western journalism.

    Reddit is known for reposting stuff. I can’t make out where the last article is from. But the others are from the same day aren’t they?

      I posted this because every time something happens in China, western and their serviles journos are like “It’s falling down”, like that extreme idiot Gordon Chang who is on it for 20 years and just changes the date every year.

      And as we are now in the next round, i posted this to give some people a hint that it not only is exaggerated, but might be outright false in some cases. Very relevant to “world news” imo.

    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/

                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.

        When Germany banned RT a year ago there were only cheers to be heard from German libs. It wasn’t censorship at all, since Germany has “freedom of opinion” you see, a freedom of opinion which only need be extended to those whose opinion isn’t somehow construed as offensive.

      They transcended the time and space multiple times (along with the buildings and the rest) to make libs feel tiny bit better about galloping costs of life in their neoliberal shitholes, of course.

          No idea. One person on the original thread said they were getting back from some parade or drill moving by night to not disrupt the traffic much. Looking at the pics it don’t look like a riot, nothing is destroyed, tanks are moving in a row, the lane is marked by tape, there is the guy with yellow vest apparently directing the traffic, and people around stands still taking photos.

            How dare you bring logic into this propaganda and censorship free Western Christian server?! Those tanks are clearly in the process of exterminating Uyghur Tibetans in Taiwanese Hong Kong!!!1!!1!

    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.
