The thing that gives away these operations is how they are able to disseminate the information so quickly and consistently and through a variety of media.

"Stand with HK" was able to 'crowdfund' at least a quarter million USD and take out NYT full page ads for all global editions within days of the website popping up (The website also disappeared about 6 months later). As I mentioned in my original analysis from a long time ago, there is no way any crowdfunding platform would release this kind of sum without triggering internal checks against money laundering.

Now in this case, there is no money trail, but usually with these fake movements, you will suddenly have many helpful redditors with their ready to go designs to print and post. The consistency essentially uses the same kind of psychological reinforcement as advertising slogans.
Check the recent Iran protests. You got "leftist" reddit accounts suddenly go full RAH RAH NEI TOU SAVE US within literally hours of each other.

There is a wide misperception on Wang Yi in the MSM. Inside the system, Wang Yi is known to be tough when need be, although the perception is that he is soft. Yang Jiechi was deemed softer when he was the FA minister, but we already know how he performs in the last few years as the national security advisor to Xi.

In a larger context, from the 20th CPC lineup, that can be viewed as a quasi war cabinet. None of them is soft toward the Taiwan issue. I guess the alarm bell has been ringing in all those capitals who want to mess with the Taiwan issue. Count down is under way. Buckle your belt.
Not according to Polite Canadians, when Wang Yi delivered a befitting response to an asinine question from the "human rights" reporter.

I could drop dead tomorrow,’ Biden says​


US President Joe Biden admitted he could “drop dead tomorrow” while trying to reassure American voters that he still has enough energy to run for office again in 2024. His comments come amid widespread concerns about his allegedly deteriorating health and regular gaffes.

In a clip from an interview with MSNBC released on Sunday, Biden, 79, was asked what he would tell Americans that were not sure whether he should seek re-election because of his advanced age.

“I think it’s a legitimate thing to be concerned about anyone’s age, including mine,” he replied, describing himself as “a great respecter of fate.”

“I could get a disease tomorrow. I could, you know, drop dead tomorrow,”
he added.

However, Biden went on to say that the best way to make a judgment about his health is to watch him.“You know, am I slowing up? Do I not have the same pace?” he asked, suggesting that if Americans are uncertain about his abilities, they should support another candidate.
