  • On a tour in late September sponsored by Beijing, the 22 journalists from 17 countries visited bazaars [in Xinjiang] and chatted with residents over dates and watermelon slices. They later told state media they were impressed with the bustling economy, described the region as “full of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity,” and denounced what they said were lies by Western media.

    The trip is an example of what Washington sees as Beijing’s growing efforts to reshape the global narrative on China. It’s spending billions of dollars annually to do so.

    In a first-of-its-kind report, the State Department last week laid out Beijing’s tactics and techniques for molding public opinion, such as buying content, creating fake personas to spread its message and using repression to quash unfavorable accounts.

    You are deeply unserious. Even the lack of evidence is clandestine by your thinking.






  • I’ve been trying to say this I don’t ever want to hear republicans complain about people again Unwritten rules are out the window maybe-later-honey

    The double standards on this are driving me mad, good on him tbh maybe-later-kiddo

    I’m gonna grab a lot of popcorn 🍿 when Trump supporters suffer under the upcoming tariffs smuglord

    umm, how about just having standards?
    Why wouldn’t he pardon others with the same charges?




  • It’s maintained by Reporters without Borders and is not US affiliated

    literally a 10 second search

    An anarchist like yourself, how much do you trust a Non-Governmental Organizations that is 52% funded by Western states and the rest comes from big corporations or similar fake non-state-actors?

    They literally list the National Endowment for Democracy as a main partner!

    (I’ll help, the NED is the soft power branch of the CIA)



  • So what? Imperialism is suddenly okay if you don’t like the ruling ideology there?

    My brother in NED, it’s not just about a “ruling ideology”, Taiwan is literally a US stronghold against China, and if you recall your geography lessons from high school, you might remember that the United States is in North America on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. If any country does imperialism on that side of the globe it’s the USA, since Taiwan is called Republic of China, and most countries don’t recognize ROC as the “true” China.

    You may recall protests being violently repressed.

    You may recall that the CIA literally foments colour revolutions against geopolitical rivals or countries who don’t swear fealty to the US. Have you heard of Jacobo Arbenz? Mossadegh? and so on?

    You may recall that hours ago I literally quoted that 83% of Hongkongers want to belong to China.

    What are you trying to prove to me? That China is perfect? I know you don’t believe that.

    The point is, since it eludes you for some reason, is that it’s pure projection from the West of accusing China of bad minority policies, when the West is worse in many many ways. Not that China is “perfect” whatever that means in real world policies, but the West want you to think China = BAD. And the only reason you do this hand-wringing about minorities in China is because US State Department think tanks implanted that thought in your head some time ago by bombarding you with anti-China propaganda.

    The other point is that anarchists crying about tankies are just useful idiots, since the real threat to capitalist hegemony is the actually existing socialist countries. That’s why the FBI and the CIA was always more concerned about Leninists than about anarchists.

    House passes $1.6 billion to deliver anti-China propaganda overseas


  • We need to build resilient networks that can slowly replace oppressive centralized power.

    hmm, maybe a truly massive party with many cadres around the country? perhaps? maybe?

    I advocate for building strong local communities, that are heavily interconnected.

    Are you 100% sure there’s nothing like this in China?

    so how to do this neat leftcom kind of stuff, without some kind of centralization, when also you simultaneously need to

    • modernize your country, literally everything from agriculture, to healthcare and heavy industry and so on
    • defend yourself from antagonistic countries
    • defend yourself from giant multinational corpos who’d jump at the chance to plunder your resources
    • defend yourself from fascist/monarchist elements inside your country

    I mean in actual practice in a real historical scenario?


  • I’m saying that the CCP does not make an effort to make its government transparent and emancipate its citizens so they can form cirtical opinions.

    You said you don’t speak Chinese.

    You read this where? NYT? Radio Free Asia? Totally-Non-Governmental-Organization coincidentally lead by Atlantic Council ghouls and retired NATO generals?



  • again, do some self crit

    the point was that many anarchists are indistinguishable from centrists when it comes to actual geopolitical issues, because they have internalized western propaganda about the West’s rivals

    propaganda is not just lies (though some of it is actual lies), but emphasis

    nothing you’ve written in this thread is a genuine engagement with people who try to refute western propaganda about the west’s rivals, and you’ve written nothing that would indicate that you’re not a liberal who just likes anarchist aesthetics with a vague handwavy criticism of “nation states”
