    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.

    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/

      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 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.
