"The local police accused the workers of acting on behalf of foreign nongovernmental organizations."

:laffo: that they have to resort to "international boogeymen" when the protesters are literally asking for the rights promised by Mao, Marx, Lenin, etc. and promoted by Uncle Xi (but not really). I think that Xi has been hoping that the kids are not really listening in class and that they are too apathetic and distracted by materialism to actually put those principals into action.

I mentioned that I read Marx when I was in university to my friend’s mom.

She’s the local head honcho lecturer in her north east China party school.

Each time I meet up with her students turned public officials and I mentioned Marx, she has to clarify

CHINESE SOCIALISM AND MAOISM IS

And it was obvious that none of her students actually do any home work or reading. It’s a giant scam to gain more empty credentials for job promotion. My friends mom write essays for them and that’s why she’s so respected

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

its great that chinese propaganda assumes that whoever its aimed at is insanely and irrevocably dumb

and i don't mean "lacks critical thinking skills" like russian propaganda targets, i mean people who are either brain damaged or literal children

On Monday, the Chinese embassy in Britain issued a statement saying: “In a country that boasts freedom of speech, it is puzzling that the Chinese journalist should encounter obstruction in such a way and even assault at the fringe event when she simply raised a question and expressed her opinions. This is completely unacceptable.”

The statement said that the Conservative Party’s Human Rights Committee should stop interfering in China’s internal affairs and stop meddling in Hong Kong’s affairs.

“The organiser of the fringe event should apologise to the Chinese journalist,” it said.

That slapping "journalist" has been involved in other UK related controversies before. She accused the BBC of fake news for interviewing a woman in Beijing who was blocked from standing for grass roots election.

quote:

Financial Times, Washington Post, and other media outlets reported Ms. Liu’s candidacy. On November 17, BBC posted a striking 5-minute video of its Beijing correspondent John Sudworth visiting Ms. Liu, showing him blocked and manhandled by a throng of plainclothes cops, or government-hired thugs. The video went viral on WeChat, and got a lot of play on Twitter too.

On November 19, a CCTV journalist based in London — according to her Twitter bio in any case — with the handle @KongLinlin, accused John Sudworth of making “fake” news. She has since been identified as Kong Linlin (孔琳琳).

Several Twitter users, including BBC’s Stephen McDonell, asked her to point out which part of John Sudworth’s reporting was fake. She replied in Chinese:

“Liu Huizhen has been party to a lawsuit because of a housing demolition, and a BBC journalist in China got himself involved in the Chinese judiciary, trying to artificially lump together Chinese grassroots elections with a demolition suit. When he reported for Western audiences, he made no mention of the woman’s background, misleading people exactly the way he reported the Obama Red Carpet Gate.”

Ms. Kong is referring to the fact that Liu sued Fangshan District Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Committee for unlawful demolition and lost in the first instance and then, in 2015, the appeal.

In his reporting, Sudworth made no mention of the demolition suit, as it’s irrelevant to the elections.

Here's a question: What are the rewards offered to "good party soldiers" like this woman, if any?

Is she, and others like her, a true believer thinking that she is merely doing her duty? Or does she get rewarded with perks, greater freedoms etc. for gallantly defending Winnie the Pooh's benevolent vision for the Chinese people?

How many times can you find a sanitary pad in your food before it becomes suspicious?

A woman’s claim that she fished a “sanitary pad” out of a Haidilao hot pot is now being viewed with a bit of skepticism after it was revealed that she discovered a similar object while dining at another hot pot restaurant the following day.

Has this been posted yet?

quote:

While only a small minority of students are involved, they represent a leftist critique of Chinese society that seems to be gaining traction on college campuses, partly because the authorities have been more hesitant to suppress it than other political discussion.

On the Chinese internet, thousands of young people participate in vibrant Maoist and Marxist chat rooms, and some have started leftist news websites, posting commentary on topics like pollution, globalization and economic theory, without much interference by censors, until recently.

This week, school officials harassed young Marxists at a half-dozen universities and prevented some from meeting, activists said. And last year, the police in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, arrested Zhang Yunfan, the young leader of a Maoist reading group, accusing him of “gathering a crowd to disturb social order.”

Younger Chinese are often described as apathetic, selfish and obsessed with money. But Eric Fish, a writer who has studied Chinese millennials, said that the generation born after the Tiananmen Square massacre lacks the instinctive fear of authority of older generations.

“They’re more willing to go out on the street and stick their necks out,” he said. “There is not as much appreciation for what could go wrong.”
