Callbacks to American hoaxes about North Koreans being executed for watching K dramas. Soon, Americans will get 20 years of hard labor for playing genshin impact lmao

Where are the "freedom loving" people in America now? Nah, they were always a culture of "follow the leader", never have been anything else.

Gonna be funny when the restrict act drops and 330 million muricans get purged from the open Internet into Zuckerberg's containment zone.

Difference was North Korea currency wasnt in jeopardy of going to zero within 18 month.

"I broke the law and got punished" yeah bozo that's the literal definition of rule of law. What did you think it means? That you get to make up your own rules and those automatically becomes law? Lmao

China is really upping the ante on the US. They held this event the week before the US's Summit for Democracy, with almost the same size of world representation (the US also has invited ~100 countries). But where the US demands state leaders come in supplication, China's event is more like a friendly academic conference or workshop for constructive discussion.

The past few weeks China has been on the rhetorical offensive: first "US Hegemony and its Perils", then "The State of Democracy in the United States: 2022".

The US has tainted the term "democracy" with its warmongering and hypocrisy for far too long, it's really time to take the word back and restore its true meaning.

. By exposing the US narratives repeatedly and saying the things the whole world wants to but don't have the guts to, China is prying away what's left of their moral high ground and exceptionalism. They've learned a lot about how to counter-propaganda in a really short time.

Holy shit, china‘s really going after the heart of American exceptionalis. America likes to portray itself as the Pope of democracies, issuing excommunications and launching crusades at its enemies, and what’s the solution to a hostile papacy?
why, install your own anti-pope, as the french kings did in Avignon and the holy Roman emperors did.

In much the same way the anglos used East asian cultural and religious beliefs against its enemies in asia eg operation wandering soul, Falun gong, Dalai Lama reincarnation into an American citizen etc, so too can china use american mythology against the west, by subverting its propaganda on liberal democracies, and usurping americas role as leader of the free world.

I’m loving this new tack by Zhongnanhai, they’ve certainly been studying the Anglo American psyche.

RESTRICT Act is not just an AntiChina law but its so broad it can be potentially be manipulated into targeting all competition to only allow domestic US firms that do the biddings of Uncle Sam the right to exists as well as exterminating all communication tools and hardware not directly under the full thumb and control (with backdoors, escrow encryption keys, etc) of US Government...

Mark my words, after Tiktok and Wechat, they coming after Telegram to make room for Facebooks WhatsApp

This level of censorship and draconian restriction of flow of information can only mean one thing, USA is planning a WW3 with China that the US gov knows will cause the US eCONomy to crash 10x harder than the Great Depression of 1929

Think martial law, concentration camps, summary execution, gas chambers, getting the picture now!???!

Make no mistake, this a war time power Act, giving Exec branch power to shutdown and criminalize anything without due process...

RESTRICT Act 100% about banning competition. It is a thinly veiled confession of inability to compete. If they were just making things like joint ventures mandatory you could say it was just ordinary protectionism. If they were passing laws to protect American data you could say there was an actual national security concern. But no. They are outright banning the presence of Chinese tech in the US market and they will most likely pressure their allies to do the same. This is what you do if you can't compete. Many nations have engaged in similar practices of banning foreign competition. Almost never works. Economic growth is an exponential process. If the other party is doing a better job than you they will keep pulling ahead. The US itself has a story of failure with the same too. American car industry after 1970 is a great example. They were replaced by Japanese and European manufacturers everywhere. Now their biggest source of revenue is selling overpriced trucks in US domestic market.

What a tool. If he tested positive in China, then he used drugs in China.

Americans actually hate competition.

They're comfortable when they are ahead but are loathe to maintaining their lead. Why? Because that takes effort. When a challenger rises, in every instance, their first reaction is to change the rules of the contest to benefit themselves. If that fails, they then try to sabotage the challengers. When they are behind, they wring their hands and complain. As long as they are collecting a paycheque, they will be satisfied with their lot. There's no hunger to prove themselves.

The way this bill is drafted allows them to lock up anyone using a VPN to get on WeChat to make a call to their mother back in China...

Yet in large parts of US one can openly steal $999 worth of products without prosecution....

This tells me all I need to know. Its a War Time Powers Act
