Are you aware the channel you’re recommending is blacklisted China?

Way to prove my point. Lol

Yeah? Do a quick search on how to overthrow the government. Can’t do that in China.

You don’t need to use social media to access the internet.

How many times must I write the difference between corporate controlled platforms and governmentally controlled internet?

There is a difference between a corporation manipulating their own service and a government controlling the entire internet for the nation.

No one is forcing you to use US corporate social media. Everyone needs internet access.

Again, you change the disagreement when you’re being disproven. You can’t support the claim that it’s ‘overwhelmingly’ Westerners, which is the point I challenged.

Go ahead a re-read this thread rather than wasting both of our time changing your point to continue a needless debate.

So you don’t like that your point was disproven and are now comparing corporate manipulation of their own services to governmental control of the entire internet?

Get real.

Do you know the difference between the internet and the World Wide Web?

Accessing the dark web is illegal in China, for example. They reduced access to the internet to government regulated websites, who must apply and be approved by the Chinese government to be accessible within the Great Firewall.

You evaded the question with semantics. Is one meme ‘overwhelmingly’ more than a nation of Philippinos?

So all of the nations with a free and open internet are pushing propaganda, and we should just take firewalled nation of oppressively regulated speech at their word.

I missed that. Thanks. So does that meme from the west outweigh Xi’s entire Philippino welcoming and barrage of memes, prompting the banning of the word Pooh in Chinese media, justify your claim that it’s overwhelmingly Westerners?

To be clear, it is overwhelmingly Westerners that wish to depict a Chinese man as a yellow bear.

Really? Because all sources that I can find trace the origin to Xi’s visit to the Philippines back in 2017.

I have some sources on the child and slave labor, if that helps.

This last one is ‘Western propaganda’ but is very helpful in identifying the types of products to avoid. It’s near impossible in the US, unless you make your own textiles/clothes or only buy second-hand.

Your comment is a great example of an animal enjoying beauty.

Relatively speaking.

Jeez. Try to have a guy hanged once and now he’s a critic. Where’s the loyalty? Lol

He mocked Trump in the interview saying he was going to ask if he could be named pope of Greenland. I don’t think he’s ‘bending the knee’ so much as being civil. We’ll see when he votes.
