    Tiktok is literally Vines with a recommendation algorithm. Also short video content was perfected not just by Vines but also Snapchat Stories and Instagram statuses. Blame CIA and USA for short video style content platforms.

    Also fuck off with your Sinophobia.

      But is it sinophobia? It’s no secret that Xi Jinping and the party like to have companies firmly under their thumb. All you have to do is threaten a few execs. Or hell, a good chunk of companies have deference to the party baked into their charter.

          This is no secret. Maybe have a little skepticism towards your favored country’s claims that any opposition to the government is bigotry towards the people? They use that to maintain control over the population.

            Not every government in the world is like Western dictatorships with a democracy mask. You can stay like a controlled sheep in your favourite western dictatorship instead of spreading FUD to non Anglo people on Earth.

              Oh? And what about the party’s practice of disappearing execs when a company’s done something to displease the party? Are other governments not right to be afraid when the CPC exercises that type of control?

                Which people have been disappeared, since you choose to spread this Sinophobic myth? And what are the “displeasures” towards the party, that are not billionaire corruption scandals resulting in execution, unlike Western dictatorships cheering monsters like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg?

                  Calling Xi Jinping a clown is enough to get arrested. Other times, those corruption allegations are either selectively enforced or made up. It can be hard to tell because China has poor rule of law. That’s why Hong Kong had long played an outsized role in the Chinese economy. It is part of the Chinese economy, but before the recent “security” law it had very strong rule of law. And before you misinterpret me, strong rule of law means that the people are governed by clear, well defined laws instead of by either fiat or laws that can be flexed to target damn near anyone.

                    We really cannot win against Brandolini’s Law, it seems, since you CIA propagandists work overtime and spreading bullshit is 10x easier than refuting it. But let me see what you have here.

                    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/17/business/bao-fan-china-banker.html

                    It refutes Bao Fan, Guo Guangchang, Xiao Jianhua, mentions Cong Lin and also mentions Jack Ma, whose disappearance propaganda made Anglos look stupid when he came back 4 months after he went underground.

                    All of these cases you quote using Reuters have a common theme of making it look like they called Xi some slur that led to arrest, when everyone is involved in corruption, embezzlement and bribery, among other acts. China’s crackdown on corruption is excellent and it looks good to me.

                    Reuters also is a CIA outlet partially responsible for Tiananmen Square incident, because they were ordered not to tell the global audience about how “democracy” terrorists burnt Chinese soldiers alive besides infrastructure and vehicles, which was the precursor to PLA’s response to those terrorists that later were given scholarships and vacation trips and conveniently fled to Western “free” countries. So they have a deep history of spreading anti-China propaganda.

                    China’s law is not poor, otherwise they would not have overtaken USA has the biggest superpower in a few decades, while having a supporting populace that has prospered universally to the point almost everyone is above poverty line. The fact is that you are a Sinophobe and likely even have hatred for any “Anglo enemies”, which includes Russia these days.

                    You are here since 4 years trying to spread this enlightened centrist westerner disease here, which really makes me think that dishonest people like you getting space on a platform is akin to bandwidth waste of servers and time waste of people engaging with your ilk.

      Eh I disagree about the Sinophobia thing, they’re not expressing fear or dislike of Chinese people, they’re criticizing the chinese government.

      Criticizing an authoritarian government =/= racism. People =/= their government.

        In comments I’ve seen, the person you’re responding to has always resisted that distinction when it comes to China, though decidedly less so when wishing collapse upon the US. Speaking of the US, apparently our use of color for advertising is literally worse than the Holocaust!

      ++1 TikTok is only political because Americans want to own everyone’s data exclusively.
