China’s malicious censorship of data

lol lmao even

Isn’t their government currently illegitimate because they refused to hold elections?

Fact is, if Russia wanted to overthrow Zelensky they would’ve done it by now. The problem isn’t Zelensky, but the entire notion of Ukrainian independence from Russia. Until Russia can comprehensively beat that idea out of the Ukrainian ethos, this war will not end.

See also: US-Cuba, China-Taiwan, and historically US-South America under the Monroe Doctrine.

Note that this idea isn’t about domestic sovereignty insomuch as it is about who your allies can be. If Ukraine were independent but in CSTO or even in BRICS, there would be no issues. Similarly, if Cuba were to be a US ally instead, sanctions would be dropped and it would be welcomed with open arms.

Considering Chinese companies like Tiktok have been more than happy to sign agreements where data is only transmitted and hosted in the US, with US DoD oversight…

This only works assuming Russia is indefinitely sanctioned… So, either we’ve just signed ourselves into a second Cold War, or the taxpayer will be responsible for repayment.

Considering that SinoVac was approved for use June 1st, 2021 and Biden was inaugurated January 20th, 2021…

Why hide covert actions if nobody cares?

Lmao this community is full of people who deepthroat the State Department and thank Blinken for the privilege.

Ironically, if she had used a Chinese hashtag she would’ve been fine. The state’s case hinges on #MeToo being a US-backed movement, just like #Pride.

LGBT and women’s rights activists in China are restricted from using foreign iconography and foreign slogans, but not from demonstrating. It’s absurd, but altogether a different issue than what the article makes it out to be.

And yet the mods remove posts about the Polish and Estonia PMs warning about future Russian aggression… Interesting.

Some might even say… Propaganda.

Lol the number of posts the mods removed discussing this topic makes me think the mods have an agenda. Do the mods not think Russia is a threat?

@Cuba

I don’t like Fox News either, but this sub has been remarkably one-sided in its news coverage. It doesn’t even cover the entire US news spectrum, nevermind the world news spectrum. That’s a problem, because every side thinks they hold the whole truth.

Seems like this community continues to ride the dick of MBFC to determine the “credibility” of articles. Fat load of good this post did.

World War 3: Middle East proxy war

Isn’t iodine like… Extremely, absurdly common in ocean water?

War is good for business

Ansar Allah has survived for this long under constant bombardment by Western weapons. What’s another few bombs?

Only the US is allowed to enforce sanctions or institute a blockade. Silly Yemen.

Intel shill

They leave up VOA articles, and VOA is literally US propaganda. They also leave up Kyiv Post, CNN, and Ukrainian Pravda, as well as Times of Israel and Haaretz.

They’re much more aggressive moderating against ad hominem attacks, though.
