I always follow anti-China forums, whether its r/China, China_irl, pincong or anti-China twitter personalities like Baldingsworld or Josh Rogin. This is how you get to understand what they are thinking. If they are attacking something in particular you can be sure it will slowly get to mainstream anti-China thinking, mainstream western media also gets idea from these places and it eventually can lead to policy action by the west.

For example, right now all these anti-China places are full of attacking Palestianians and supporting Israel content. So, China has truly lost the limelight even in China forums.

During Covid, the lableak theory was peddled by these places long before the mainstream media ever did. These places also came up with the theory China faking its GDP growth or China building too much just to inflate GDP growth. Now regular western media regularly makes them same arguments.

So, China has truly lost the limelight even in China forums.
How so? based on the comments of losers? If the commentary at least tried to be factual, objective even if it's against current Chinese policies or provide some alternative rather than the usual copy and paste western based narrative, then am sorry to say, that's nothing to lose from, and China is better from not having idiots in their midst.

Do not follow American social media sites in Chinese. Besides normal Taiwanese content, it is overwhelmingly of prostitutes, fringe political movements of China and FLG. It seems most Chinese diaspora write in local languages and most Chinese are on Chinese social media sites. Twitter and especially Reddit (a rather "underground" social media outside the USA) draw in Chinese who want to write things they wouldn't be able to write on Weibo.

This fits my experience in Shenzen too. Facebook was used for finding prostitutes primarily.
Those are the types of Chinese that also visits the Philippines to gamble, hire prostitutes, abuse local Filipino people which then bring about bad public image and perception of China and the Chinese people in general. And when those losers get caught, they seek and are desperate for the government of China's help and if they are truly deranged and desperate, they just pretend they're some sort of spy and would seek political refuge by reciting anti-See See Pee rants and bingo they get to have a new gig as the case in Australia.

China losing the limelight is actually a good thing. It means less anti-China action will come from the west. China is essentially fighting a defensive battle of keeping market access, western tech, western customers as much as possible so that China can grow richer in peace. They would prefer that the west is focusing on other enemies and regions.

Recent DOD article about China having 500 nukes is now all the way bottom news in Google News. In the past this would be number 1 news, essentially front page content. Anti-China opnion pieces have also reduced quite a bit.

IF you always eat the same meal then you get bored and want to try a new one. China threat theory is running out of steam, it was tasty at first BUT it wasn't as advertised. The reason, the Chinese understand the American thinking, they didn't take the bait instead work hard to improve themselves to close those vulnerabilities.

These recurring narrative is making China look good especially as the collective west make a fool of themselves, you don't need to propagandized yourself the Collective West will do it for you.

Alas had 4090 really become banned I would've taken up GPU bootlegging, not just to make some daigou money but as political statement.

I don't understand why it is important to know what the maliciously stupid and angrily powerless are thinking.

If they have policy influence so much the better as they fundamentally misleads those who listen to them.

How do you like visiting those sites, including the subreddit r/China_irl. Those sites are just a cesspool of frustrated, angry losers that thinks they can govern the country better or run successful companies only if the dastardly See See Pee was not in their way to make themselves rich and glorious. They simply hide away their true intent and miserable failures and existence by placing the blame on the See See Pee, rather than on their actions and the shitty choices they made.

Most of the mainland Chinese I encounter are probably good people, and few are quite anti-China and western loving folks. The men who hates China tends to be gay, skinny ASF, the girls are white-worshipping kinds, the middle of the road assumes and want China to forget on resisting the U.S. and the collective west intentions so that they would not face any hardship in life, love, and buying properties. Some hate the intense competition back home and the filial duty to parents, society, and expectations. But my impression of the rabid anti-China Chinese, especially the men are unfortunately scrawny as f...k not to mention unsavory to look at from a shallow point of view. So reading their hilarious take on nuclear strike, warfare, and anything that involves martial topic are just pure comedy. I find them as nothing more than sniveling cowards, incel-types and blame their heritage for not getting laid, or being saddled with "filial" responsibility forced upon them by what they find as barbaric practice unlike the genocidal, cultured-race of White western "enlightened" West. LOL
I remember there was a poll on that sub asking who's a virgin and a non-virgin. The vast majority of the votes were virgins as you would probably guessed lol. Sums up the subreddit well enough.

The Playstation 2 was banned from sale to Iraq because it was considered too powerful and liable to be used for military purposes i.e. designing weapons of mass destruction. :rolleyes:

"Sony applied for a special export permit to get its new console to the rest of the world, but a few countries were blacklisted. Libya, Iran, Iraq, and North Korea were considered potentially likely to use the console for nefarious purposes."
