  1. I'd be interested in knowing how much power they actually draw from all those solar panels. Or are they not even hooked up like their fake drainage grates and fake fire hydrants?
    297
  2. I especially liked the allusion to the CIA. Yes, people don't like when the CIA or the Feds gather data on its citizens. But China does it as a matter of course, so what exactly are you criticizing? Confession through projection.

  3. If they're so anti-Japanese, why are they allowing anime or cosplay at all? The hypocrisy is ridiculous.
    71
  4. It seems modern art is as wacky in China as it is in the west.

  5. Even if he hadn't tried to help people with a "Chengdu Challenge", he already demonstrated that there's a deep desire in China for truthful and useful information. As there is in any society. He probably has a lot of goodwill with his followers.

  6. If you ask a Canadian what they're proud of about their country, 9 times out of 10 they'll tell you their healthcare system, even though they'll recognize it has its issues. The military won't even crack the top 10 in the mind of the average Canadian.

  7. Taiwan needs to do better with its education if large swaths of people still think unification with China wouldn't be anything less than disaster. Mao tried to destroy Chinese language and culture to usher in his Communist utopia, and the CCP is still doing it. The last remaining true store of Chinese language, culture, and know how is Taiwan and they need to let the world know it.

  8. My question is... .. how many of these Chinese people immediately tried to sell their ice cream once they got it?

  9. "Overwhelming sense of ritual" is now my new favorite Chinese catch-phrase.
    29
  10. I actually admire these kids a lot. They seem energetic, open, adventurous, and clearly don't have a problem with commitment. Those kinds of traits are very cool, regardless of what you think of their hair.
    28
  11. No, closer to Mao's Little Red Book.
    24
  12. The fact that they're trying to act is what really sells the badness.
    24
  13. One important fact you forgot. The woman doing cosplay was doing it in a Japanese area, and was in line for a Japanese restaurant when she was approached by police. It's not like she was just walking around all parts of China in cosplay. On another note, you guys should do your research on "Anti-Racism" (which IS racism). You're really good at exposing Chinese propaganda but not very good at rooting it out in other countries.

  14. Deep Thoughts... by Xi Jinping (from the book, "Wisdom of the CCP") "Once, I went to a wet market. But I was confused. I walked away perfectly dry. They should call it a dry market."

  15. This hilarious Chinese state media is exactly why I sub to you. Classic fail.

  16.  @ironwolfF1  They also make good money with human trafficking, something they don't expend anywhere near the same level of energy demonizing.
    14
  17. I'm not sure it sends the message you think it does. Come to America, it's full of suckers you can take advantage of. Guys like this competes with other homeless people who don't scam the system.
    13
  18. Another perfect example of the CCP "solving" a problem, and creating a bigger one.
    13
  19.  @BUSeixas11  The UK is 2nd when it comes to surveillance and Dear Leader Just Trudeau wants to take Canada that way too. It's a worrying trend.
    13
  20. Absolutely true about not compromising for critics that don't really care about your product. Now if only Japan will wake up and reject the woke idiots that want to censor anime and manga...
    12
  21. The CCP is improving. This isn't anywhere near as cringe as their previous raps.
    11
  22. No, no. You have to use only positive criticism. For example, I really admire the Chinese culture of street lounging. I know some people may call it homelessness, but that's ridiculous, since there is no such thing in China.
    11
  23. You would think the eagerness would be a red flag. Like a guy that wants to learn to fly a plane enough to take off and maneuver, but not land.
    10
  24. I confess, I flushed the toilet paper, regardless. No way I was putting poopy paper in a bin.

  25. Deep Thoughts... by Xi Jinping "When I think of something important I put it on an app So that Chinese people can see How great I am. And you know what's really great? My legacy as the COVID king and Operation Fishkill! Those fishes didn't even see it coming."

  27.  @johnlacey3857  There have been a number of cases in Canada, and this is tied to self defense (especially where a legally obtained weapon is involved) where the intervener was the one that the state took interest in - not the criminal. This falls in line with previous behaviour and legislation that indicates our government is more concerned with disarming its law abiding population then in dealing with actual criminal activity. State involvement with "good samaritans" is more limited, but it does happen. If you draw their attention and something registers (like if you saved someone using a weapon) suddenly you're the one in the crosshairs.

  28.  @RandomDeforge  And if that was the reality in practice, everyone would be onboard with defund the police - which they're not.

  29. They did, actually. But there are so many videos, it's easy for it to get buried.

  30. I remember someone from British Columbia telling me the Chinese consulates were no big deal because there was only one, and it was Toronto. I told him there was no way there wasn't one in BC with the significant Chinese population there. Sure enough, one of the "newly discovered" is in Vancouver.
    8
  31. I was thinking the same thing. Rather than make China look bad, it makes Japan look good.

  32. Sounds a lot like Canada.

  33.  @sheilacoulton775  "Really,Wrong, I suggest you look up the Law regarding helping someone that is being,bullied, harassed ,and physically assaulted. Naming your source as well.""First of all there are Provinces in Canada not states, the law on self defence is different from helping someone, if helping someone while having in your hand a weapon registered fro your defense can get you charged with assault with a weapon. it helps to educate yourself before you comment as providing misinformation in comments can be a reason to lose your YouTube account." At no point did I ever say Canada had states and not provinces. And thank you for proving my point by lying and threatening to having me cancelled. People are not dumb, they can very easily make up their own minds despite your desire to control them.

  34. The thing that strikes me as the most odd about this whole thing is - if you have a problem with airing your dirty laundry in public, why are you now dragging a camera around so that you can berate another political leader in public? (P.S. Trudeau in that suit makes him look like PeeWee Herman, and he waddles away like him too - maybe he decided to go in search of his bicycle?)
    7
  35. China. Where British sarcasm truly shines.

  36. The amazing thing about that training footage is that it looks like it might actually be effective against a knife wielder. The amount of fail by Chinese police and security is the norm, not the exception.

  37. West Taiwan should be more responsible.

  38. Just goes to show - it's not about making sense, it's about obeying.

  43. US water quality problems (and general shortages) go way beyond Flint, Michigan. Having said that, it's still not comparable to China - their problems are far worse.

  45. More than likely the "most popular news app in America" is limited to bots. Never heard of this app until now.

  48. If you're looking for so bad it's good, look no further than "New York Ninja". Filmed in 1984, finished in 2021 with an English Dub over that fully adds to the cheesiness.

  51. Hate to break it to you, but Canadian officials knew they violated all kinds of protocols. The Trudeau regime veto'd all those concerns.

  52.  @thurin84  How DARE you insult the first Black Canadian Prime Minister!?!?!? (Ok, sometimes Black.)

  53.  @canadianbakin1304  Canadian military gets live fire training that a lot of other troops around the world don't get. One of the many things that make a difference. Many don't know that Canadian snipers received the Bronze Star (an American medal) in recognition for their service in Afghanistan. You can cynically say it's a purely political gesture (and it very well could be), but one could argue it's a recognition of the impact Canadian soldiers make.

  55. Whenever these guys talk about anything that isn't just China, they usually get it wrong. Even if BRICS doesn't really amount to anything, it's still a diplomatic vehicle in the same way the UN is, which is why countries want to join it.

  56.  @VegaTakeOver  They're already in the crosshairs of the west, haven't you been paying attention? 29% of the world is now under some kind of western sanction. Millions of people are going to die in Syria due to these sanctions that are only there because the the US attempt at a coup failed and Bashar is not only still there, but has rejoined the Arab League. Yes, the group will be dysfunctional, yes for some members the group will be as useless as the UN, but this is an alliance of the desperate and their ranks are growing. US influence has lost the Saudis who now sell oil in the Ruble and the Yuan. What do you think that means for the petrodollar? It's not smoke and mirrors, the shift won't happen overnight but it's real and it's happening.

  57.  @st20332  1) It's not by job to provide evidence to you, it's available by google search, etc. to you like it is to everyone else. 2)The fact that I don't go out of my way to provide things to you things you could obtain yourself is not proof it's not happening. 3)Don't pretend like you're actually interested in the evidence. You're looking for a reason to ignore it. I've already provided a few links but YouTube has either deleted them or blocked them from view and I'm not interested in spending more time on it.

  58. They are the "change" they want to see.

  59. It's not hard to see why. Weak people that are angry and looking for revenge are looking for soft targets they can handle. Children fit that description.

  60.  @andromedamessier3176  Lots of people in China call themselves Han when they're not. That's another Chinese prejudice.

  61. Exactly. Wouldn't be surprised to find out that some of those Chinese students that were "protesting" were doing so under threat themselves.

  62. Proud to be Chinese, not living in China.

  66.  @schristi69  I was there when they were still building the Three Gorges Dam and the engineers also told them they could get just as much power, if not more, with smaller, consecutive dams instead of one big one, precisely because it would be nearly impossible to deal with the silt buildup. Of course, in their wisdom, they decided to ignore the wisdom of experts and declared themselves superior by accomplishing what they were told couldn't be done.

  67. If someone claims to empathize with you as a "Christian populist" you should immediately question why they're using that overtly politicized term.
    2
  68. Not to split hairs, but the FBI and CIA make all kinds of false accusations to run people to ground (child sex crimes are a favorite). Or do you really think the arrest of Julian Assange is about a crime beyond airing out US dirty secrets as a whistleblower?
    2
  69. Did they also ban Winnie the Pooh and Operation: Fishkill?
    2
  70. Sad, but true. The worst of the China critics, those that said we were "conspiracy theorists" have been proven 100% correct. The commission to investigate Canadian problems with China froze the political opposition out completely and appointed the Prime Minister as the final judgement and authority over it. So those directly implicated have full status to ask questions, see all the evidence, and render judgement.. on themselves.
    2
  71. The CCP has tried to control Chinese populations outside of China for decades, especially by buying up Chinese language media/news through CCP agents to set the editorial stance. In Canada, a Chinese-Canadian reporter by the name of Jan Wong, regularly wrote about this influence and corruption in the Globe & Mail.

  74. Should have reached out to a better song artist. We could have had a catchier song. Something like "Dabai knock me down... pay me!"

  75. Good advice in using "loong" to identify the shills. This isn't organic at all.
    2
  76. Same. I'm with you, SerpentZA and everyone else that liked this thread. It's like an AMSR video gone horribly wrong.
    2
  77. It's videos like this that shows that you know a lot about China and almost nothing about geopolitics in the rest of the world. "We Are the World" was total nonsense. Most of the money raised to "cure hunger" went to buy weapons to overthrow African governments. As for this kid not being a "hero", he forced the US hand of not proceeding with an inevitable bloodbath that would have cost thousands of Ukrainian lives. The way they're going so hard against this kid, what makes you think that he's not just a fall guy? You believe everything your corporate media overlords tell you?
    2
  78.  @dcc70  Attempting to maintain the status quo is a sure fire way to lose everything. Taiwan needs to find away to be truly independent and for China to be OK with it. Sooner or later, the CCP will take by force that which isn't offered freely. Just look at Hong Kong. They couldn't even keep their promise to wait.
    2
  79. High level statesman use persona, unencrypted phones all the time (same for email). Do you not recall all the many scandals involving such things?
    2
  80. Agreed. It's very click bait-y.

  81. Glad your concern is focused squarely on syntax and grammar.
    2
  82.  @Shinobubu  [This kind of "back handed" compliment is common in Chinese internet discussion.] It's inevitable. The constant shifting of coded language to say things you're not supposed to say is also part of the game and resulted in some ridiculous government bans such as the actual official Chinese national anthem.
    2
  83. Yes. It also gives them the excuse to call off an attack that was doomed to fail, while throwing jabs at Russia and China.
    2
  84. If BRICS is nonsense, why are countries trying to join? Apparently Venezuela seems to think there's something to it, even if it's just a purely diplomatic move.
    2
  85.  @hallarious506  They're really good at pointing out CCP propaganda and really horrible about acknowledging that EVERYONE engages in propaganda, including our own government.
    2
  86.  @m4sherman340  [your missing the point. the difference between Chinese propaganda and other countries propaganda, is that other countries aren’t saying they’re at war with us. Would you want Nazi propaganda to be shown in the U.S. during the Second World War.] Um, what? Your comment makes zero sense. US actions have been nothing but going to war without calling it a war so that they can avoid a vote from congress (which is required for an official declaration of war). This is just your standard manufactured consent typical of most western democracies. China doesn't need to engage in such ridiculous deception because it's a total dictatorship. The US has been in countless wars. How many wars has China been in lately? The point of propaganda is deception, and it works the same wherever it's used. Clearly, you've been fooled. The only difference is the sophistication required to fool people - which doesn't change the purpose or the outcome.

  87.  @Ex.zed.  Yes, NPR is also state-funded.

  88. The reaction of the Chinese people to these guys in white is similar to what happened during the Trucker protest in Canada. When the militarized police were sent in to clear them out by force (Trudeau used the Emergencies act to make this happen because he couldn't get a court order legally), people blamed the peaceful protestors as if it was there own fault. I watch this and see the future of Canada under Trudeau. Not unironically, Trudeau admires China very much.

  89. Is it a frying pan... or a drying pan? The bows are especially hilarious. Seriously, have any of the writers of this nonsense go outside their country?... Ever?!

  90. "Hey, I want to go in that line."- C-Milk Quotable quotes are priceless.
    2
  91.  @tedklampett1737  [it's because it's a psy-op.] It doesn't have to be a psy-op. China has plenty of reasons to be upset with Canada and vice versa. And of course, it's just like they said in the video - the CCP will try to milk it as much as they can for a PR win (Canadian media will too). WEF participation seems mostly western. I don't see any evidence Russia or China are in collusion. If anything they're targets for not going along. But that's not because they're noble representatives of the people. Dictators don't like giving up their power - simple as that.
    2
  92.  @WARLORD626  You're probably going to have provide some evidence for that claim as most sources seem to point to 7th century China Imperial Court. There are also similar styles in China and Korea, obviously a result of cross-influence with no hint of the middle east.

  93. Absolute comedy gold, you weren't wrong. I was laughing throughout most of it. LMAO! You would think in a political culture that lies so frequently, they would have learned to do it well by now.

  97.  @jayklink851  Thanks for sharing. I've looked over the sources he uses and although I don't think there's evidence yet that he's intentionally being dishonest, the sources he uses (like Euromaidan) are clearly compromised. Can't trust him as a source.

  98. These pathetic CCP shills just incense with their obvious lies. They don't just exploit child labor, they do it under the most horrible of conditions and abuse.

  99. Actually, in this case, virtually every accusation China made against the US is true. The hypocrisy is that China regularly makes a mountain out of a mole hill. Like US politicians visiting Taiwan.

  100. Enjoyable debate, even if UK is maybe not the best yardstick to use these days since they're copying a lot of Chinese policies (2nd only to China in cameras - the so called Ring of Steel). Journalists are literally being arrested for doing journalism. Sounds like China, doesn't it? But it's the UK.

  101. If they're entering the US it doesn't matter. They won't stop entrants from China until Jan 5. This is the "genius" of the CDC.

  103. Yes. All the baying for blood of a kid that exposed government lies. We LIKE being lied to!!

  104. It's actually not surprising to me at this point. Germany has been hung out to dry by its own ally (US) and is facing serious issues at home because of their support of the war in Ukraine. I'm sure they just don't want any more problems with yet another power like China.
    1
  105. Ugh. China has no right to comment, but it doesn't make them wrong. I don't need to hear it from the CCP, though. The sad thing is, because the CCP lies, you NPCs think everything is fine. China isn't the only one that does propaganda. China isn't the one funding the g-word right now.

  106. Oxymoron. In this case, the flooding is working.

  107. Seymour Hersh, legendary journalist, "is off his rocker" but you guys are the experts. Stick to China, you have no idea what you're talking about and you're hurting your own credibility. Yes, China is doing propaganda for Russia, which is why they're pumping the story. But the story is TRUE, you morons! Even the US statement has retracted their original story of saying Russia did it (something that NEVER made sense).
    1
  108. You guys are losing credibility by the day. The fact that the CCP want to promote this story doesn't automatically mean it's not real. There are plenty of credible people that have gone to Maui and hear from the residents - it's all on camera. Are you telling me that James O'Keefe suing the Maui government is a Chinese plot??

  109. "[NPR] does good journalism. They're very factual." - Matt Tye Oh yeah? Is that why they did a 3 part series on the dangers of voting machines after the 2016 election? They're compromised like most corporate media is compromised.
    1
  110. Tell me you don't understand media without telling me you don't understand media. The Twitter Files proved that government suppression was and IS going on. There is no difference between CNN or FOX because they, and all other corporate media, are propaganda outlets. The only difference between US corporate media and CGTN is that CGTN is a lot less sophisticated. Yes, the US still has independent journalists. And the US state plays a constant game of demonizing them and suppressing them while claiming they're illegitimate.

  111. The total lack of self awareness never fails in the PRC. Good thing China never has problems feeding it's population, because they might actually need those fish. Oops.
    1
  112. You lose credibility when you rightly call out CCP propaganda for what it is (which is easy, because it's unsophisticated) but have completely bought into home grown propaganda. NPR, BBC, CBC, etc. are all state-run media organizations who have been outed multiple times for their ridiculously biased coverage in service to the corporate donor class. Try being a little more aware.
    1
  113. No one should be surprised that the CCP are proud of their dystopian inventions. After all, western governments around the world are trying to duplicate and implement those very same things so that they can control their population the way China does.

  114. Things must have got a lot worse in China then the time I was there. You didn't HAVE to buy water all the time. You had to BOIL water, to make it drinkable. You would only have to buy water if you were travelling and boiled water wasn't available.

  115.  @johnyewtube2286  Everything is a CCP op to them. It's pure idiocy. It never occurs to them that the best CCP op has truth in it. This idea that the US is perfect is incredibly naïve and ignores the dirty history.

  118. Of course they're not. The US wants to control all social media censorship, so they can't let anyone else do it, whether it's China or anyone else.

  123.  @louisgiokas2206  [Well, you haven't followed the Russian use of gas flows as a political weapon, have you. It is well established that they often threaten to cut off gas, or actually do.] Yes they do, but that's because Germany needed it. Now they pay 4 times as much, much of it Russian any ways (because it goes through a re-seller like India) AND they've had to start up their coal plants to meet their energy needs. The Germans didn't want this. [In fact, they had already cut back the flow in this particular pipeline.] Right. That's why it was the worse ecological disaster in the last 3 years at least. [Who knows which explanation is "correct", I don't think we will ever really know, but there are lots of alternative explanations.] We know Biden promised to stop the pipeline. We know the US has a longstanding plan to sell energy to Europe. And we know that after the pipeline was destroyed that was exactly what happened. And Seymour Hersh is a legendary journalist for a reason. You listen to guys like him, not guys who don't know what they're talking about. The fact that he appeared on Xinhua doesn't make anything he said untrue, even if it serves the interests of both China and Russia.

  124. Russia wasn't motivated by the bio lab, but their goal is certainly to obtain all the assets in the Ukraine, not least of which is it's nuclear generation facilities. Also, those biolabs have been around for 30 years and been funded by the US, in one of the most corrupt parts of the world. I would be very surprised to find out they weren't doing weapons research. It's more than likely this was another Wuhan type arrangement to do research in a country that is away from the view of most Americans. There's misinformation coming from Russia, and then there's the lies coming from our own governments. Let's not pretend like they don't both do it.

  127. They accurately see through the obvious CCP propaganda but can't see that they've swallowed all the home grown propaganda.

  136.  @andromedamessier3176  I don't know if this is a phase that's come and gone, but there was an explosion in China with the most popular stories usually being about smart people that outsmarted corrupt elites by being devious themselves, while advancing their own lives at their expense.

  137. Absolutely right about the CCP shills. They love to coordinate attacks on you guys and it's pathetic. Anyone with any real knowledge of China can see through it. Just more pathetic nonsense from the usual suspects.

  141. Gavin Newsom wasn't duped by China. He's still adhering to Agenda 2030 and China has always been part of that strategy (which is why it's doomed to fail). And it's not that Biden isn't meeting with Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping won't meet with Biden. So this a double win for China.

  142. Director Christopher Wray is a known liar that has been caught lying many times. It's just as likely that, assuming there was an actual attack, it was the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, that has far greater access than China ever will. This is the US looking for money for a war that they are starting.

  147. The US military is looking like a cuddly teddybear? Maybe you didn't notice how the majority of their western allies in the Red Sea just abandoned them because it was obvious they were picking a fight. The US isn't better than China - in many ways they are the same. For example, both are happy to fund genocides.

  148. I remember the 2008 earthquake - the usual CCP response. There was one incident reported where hundreds, if not thousands, of children died because the school collapsed on them. The rub was that there was a school that was built to withstand earthquakes, but a corrupt politician relocated all the children to a building adjacent to it so that a business could use the earthquake proof building. Sure enough, after the earthquake, all their paper files, etc. were all safe and sound.

  153. So glad to see people pushing back on this global problem. We've seen this in Canada too, especially in places like British Columbia, where Chinese pro-democracy voices are not just shouted down, but physically assaulted while the government turns a blind eye to the CCP's involvement and are more than willing to accept charges of "Anti-Asian racism" rather than do any real investigating.

  157.  @dcc70  Take a good look at Ukraine if you think relying on the good graces of the US is something you just want to hope and pray about. Population of 45 Million decimated to under 22 Million, ana entire generation destroyed, and thanks to the depleted uranium and cluster bombs, even when the war comes to an end, people are going to continue dying for generations. And all because they wanted a proxy to fight their enemy (and despite the sacrifices still completely failed). The US doesn't care about Taiwan, they are using it. Use them back by getting what you want now. What is the US going to do? Suddenly decide they don't actually need Taiwanese semiconductors? The US is in the process of trying to gain a kind of self-sufficiency. Once they have that, they don't need Taiwan any more and any protection you have will be gone.

  158. I'm not so sure Code:Pink is a CCP front. Feminist organizations regularly ally themselves with misogynist culture and organizations because they're primarily focused on "western patriarchy". This has included, but not limited to, promoting conservative Islam. In this case, it's more than likely that, rather than be a front, they've literally just bought into the propaganda and believe it.

  162.  @savage7882  [What you forgot to state is that the US is deliberately moving away from Saudi Oil. Saudi Arabia is by far the biggest instigator of conflict in the Middle East, the US is playing their game because they control the energy market.] I didn't forget, there are plenty of inputs into what is going on, that's just one of them. And yes, the US has been trying (and failing) for years to move away from dependence on oil. Why do you think every President begs to the Saudis and let's them get away with whatever they want? The neocons literally started a war with Yemen to keep the Saudis happy. That's not something you do when you have the upper hand.
    1
  163.  @busking6292  [ I might be wrong..] Yes, you are wrong. The agreement is to price in Yuan means the Saudis are willing to take payment that way. Of course, I doubt they want to hold on to it for too long considering how the CCP is constantly is playing games with it. The would insist on buying Chinese goods with the Yuan they just got - and thus a reciprocal relationship is born.

  164.  @petermeshackjobs8076  [ the Dola used to be backed by oil and gold but due to many policy changes it is no longer backed by oil coz they want to print more money to pay debts.] Most countries switched to a fiat currency, not just the US. This is a different issue. [so even it the oil is traded by other money, as long as dola is accepted all over the world, it is not going anywhere.] No one said it was. It's not the end of the US dollar, the claim is it's the end of its supremacy as a reserve currency. That will take time to prove, but what I'm saying is that people moving away from the US dollar lends itself to that narrative. [by the way if Saudi drops the US, even if the Russians and china backed it with security, they will be toppled with lots of enemies they made while trying to protect themselves using the US.] Again, not dropping the US. Ignoring the US complaints, and no longer only selling oil in US currency. [Who told them that Iran likes obeying peace especially the one as frail as that made with the Chinese government] Not sure what you're saying here. And you may want to note that there's a revolution in Iran right now that isn't being covered by most corporate media that is demanding the return of a royal figurehead. You may recall it was the US that overthrew the Shah and ushered in the theocracy that now rules it.

  166.  @johnlacey3857  Thanks to Trudeau, Canada has been moving towards a lot of the elements that China uses. A few examples: 1)Persecuting Store Owners who try to defend themselves from Criminals (not that this is new). 2)Disarming law abiding citizens so they can't protect themselves, and introducing legislation to criminalize citizens that don't comply (China's already done that). 3)Use the police as their own personal gestapo to politicize basic expressions of rights and harass and jail accused members of the public who are then charged with "mischief" and "conspiracy to promote mischief" but treated as if they're capital offenders - denying them bail, etc etc. And that's when they're not using a pretext to invoke the Emergencies Act to completely violate Canadian Charter rights. One Liberal MP actually said in parliament that "Honk Honk means Heil Hitler". 4)Turning Canadians against each other by telling them that anyone who doesn't comply with their Government mandates are basically horrible people who put everyone at risk (all based on lies, of course). 5)New controls on media including the introduction of the QCJO incentive - now every journalist can be bought with money, not just the CBC. Bet the Xinhua news agency is close to jealously. 6)New controls on social media, controlling what Canadians see. 7)New controls on money, especially anyone dependent of government funds like Employment Insurance. 8)The introduction of legislation in the education system that, in practical terms, easily compares to the Mao thought and the rise of the student Red Guard. Sure, Canada isn't China yet, but boy does Trudeau admire the CCP and wishes it was. He's working hard to make it happen.

  174. The support to ban Tik Tok is bi-partisan because both parties are under the control of the deep state. They care less about Chinese influence then they do a loss of control. Either the US controls all social media, or you're a "threat" and therefore need to be banned.

  175. If you're looking to antagonize China some more, this a great list. First 6 are fine and appropriate, but 7 & 8 are a joke. 7)No one takes more resources then the US, the world would laugh at the hypocrisy. 8)The pandemic isn't solely China's fault, so putting the blame only on them would make for a pretty big grudge. Don't forget that WW2 happened because of the way WW1 ended.

  199. The US plan was simple. Keep China from taking advantage while they're focused on the Middle East and still bogged down in Ukraine. And in exchange, he gave Xi Jinping a big PR win for Chinese State Media. I bet they loved the US business leaders giving him a standing ovation. Don't get it twisted, they begged China for the meeting, not the other way around. That's why they created plenty of space for Xi and cleaned up the city. If you think Biden's comments about Xi Jinping being a dictator was a planned jab, and not an increasingly typical old man moment, you didn't see the look on Blinken's face when he was saying that stuff. The guy was practically in tears as he winced again and again.

Not sure, but probably not the biodegradable friendly stuff most countries use for toilet paper. 2)China uses human feces for their manure, so it's not just that they don't want toilet paper mucking up their pipes (which is also an issue) they plan on spreading all that gunk on some farmer's field.

  206. It's amazing how most of the CCP's poor behaviour seems all attached to denying it's anything but perfect. If it was willing to admit it was flawed, half their negative policies wouldn't even happen. If they want to save face, they should start by not continually smacking their own face.

  210. It IS a different story. When the CIA director comes out and says something publicly you can tell whatever it is, is a lie. This assertion isn't based on any knowledge or fact, this is the signal of a narrative shift against China. It'll be interesting to see what China's reaction to this will be because they've never really faced criticism by anything controlled by the mainstream.
