This reminds me of a meme on Chinese internet. Apparently the Summer Palace park is not managed very well as a tourist destination. This prompted many military fans to claim that funds for the park were misappropriated to build the navy.

China suffering from success, of having a competent government. They have the right priority. Although if you ask me, summer palace is still better money spent than the rail. At least it was built!

There was a surge of fake news going around from the last 2 or 3 weeks ago making rounds on the mainstream disinfo/misinfo/propaganda outlets like the NYT among others accusing the Chinese swimming team of doping and that those swimmers found using banned substance should have been suspended and not able to participate in their respective competitions allowing those same alleged swimmers to win Gold medals depriving the clean, pure, democratic and freedom loving athletes from countries like the U.S. and Australia from getting the medal that were rightfully always theirs in the first place.

Well, according to this report: All of the accusations are FAKE NEWS!! Hyped up by the usual fake news machine.

Please read and learn not to be amused or surprised:

Even scarier (for the Americans), it didn't. Just that much incompetence and mismanagement.

During the Tianamen Square protests authoritarian China granted student leaders a meeting where they can negotiate and mentioned their grievances in person to Premier Li Peng. Is Democratic America going to grant student leaders attendance with President Biden?

Only if the student leaders are all pretty and female and don’t wash their hair for a week before the meeting with Biden.

Daily reminder that Elon musk is not a friend of china. He has been funding anti-china voices in the US. He's after Brazil because they signed lithium deals with China, not him and he's also a western imperialist.

I cannot wait the day when china nukes Tesla. Elon musk already needs china more than china needs him. Why buy Tesla, when you have BYD, Xiaomi, Xpeng?

Oh yeah, on the one hand I would love for Nathan Law to be involved and result in boomerang again.
On the other hand Nathan Law is piss poor at organising coloured revolution based on his past experience and would actually reduce the damage caused by the current wave of campus protests.

I'm torn.

The great thing about west supporting Israel's war crimes is that it gives china free publicity among Muslim countries and the global south in general without china even doing anything. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia that had positive view of US are now viewing china as more favourable.

Written by an idiot for his idiotic readership? Who has more containers and missiles? China or the US?

It depends who control or access to foreign ports not number of Containers/Missiles. A container ship from anywhere can become a threat to Navy or land targets as it can suddenly fire missiles. I will be surpized if Naval ships can be hidden now from drones/P8/satellites. there is many other places like putting container between buildings or Trucks. fire a missile and put it in a garage.
This concept was first presented by Russian with club missiles.

I think it's quite easy to pick up pro-Israel talking points and re-use them for Xinjiang.

1. "Israel China has a sovereign right and duty to defend itself from terrorists and extremists."
2. "Hamas East Turkestan terrorists blend into civilian population, what can you do? It's normal in War on Terror (see US WoT civilian collateral)"
3. "We are just enforcing law and order. The onus is on (some) of the Palestinian Uyghur population to end all support for Hamas East Turkestan terrorist activities, not us."
4. Hamas East Turkestan terrorists refuse a generous peace solution, so the onus is ending violence is on them, not us."
5. "That's antisemitic sinophobic to support terrorist demands, because (some) Hamas East Turkestan terrorists say they want to wipe out the Jewish Han Chinese people off the planet and restore the Caliphate! Do you support a genocide against Jewish Han Chinese people?"

That last one will make a few Western bobble heads explode. Then again, some of the alt-right might straight up answer "YES." to #5 and drop the facade about being anti-CCP, more like anti-Chinese at this point.
