China’s malicious censorship of data

lol lmao even

Wooo more nuclear

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.

India probably still paid with rupees that Russia can’t spend lmao

The collapse of the petrodollar will happen slowly, and then all at once…

Google funds Calico, which studies aging. Thus, Google is an anti-aging company.

MiHoYo… Isn’t a gaming company? How do they make their money? Jesus Christ this is some tin foil hat conspiracy shit

What exactly do you think a startup is?

Chinese carmakers are claiming the EC asked for battery chemistries. That’s like… The secret sauce lmao

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.

The funny thing now is that the only thing keeping Khan in prison is the “un-Islamic marriage” case.

Yemeni the absolute madlads

Would you prefer a report from Washington?

Canada not being a fuckwad on this for once.

Everyone thinks they’re above international bodies, but most don’t pretend that they don’t think so.
