We know

Coup going well

This is the real issue I have with all Chinese reporting: by government policy, they have proportional ethnic representation (and often overrepresent minorities in government in autonomous regions). Yes, it's still technically the CPC, but it's like saying that the BC NDP and federal NDP are the same party with the same interests.

I don't think it's actually the same Van Zandt, to be fair. MBFC guy registered the company in some house in the Midwest IIRC.

I love when all my racist fascists unify into a single opposition party. Surely they won't do anything untoward like, say, forcing Reichstag members to vote for the Enabling Act in 1933 to give them "temporary" powers, right?

I used to not understand how Hitler was able to rise to power. Now I do. It just requires more people like you.

The West takes the idea of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" too far. The West would literally ally itself with the Nazis to fight off the communist Russian threat.

Party elders were alarmed by his push for a more nationalist message. Defiantly, he recorded a pro-gun rights video in which he compared people from Russia’s mostly Muslim North Caucasus to “cockroaches” and mimicked shooting one with a pistol.

Racist fuck.

People severely underestimate the scale of BYD and it shows. Japanese and Korean car manufacturers have visited BYD factories and left in shock.

Trump pushes the US away from the West. Biden pushes the US away from the rest.

All I'll say is that you should look at a satellite map of the Xiamen area.

Taiwan claiming an island 3km away from China and hundreds of kilometers from the Taiwanese mainland? Perfectly legitimate.

Kinmen is about 3km from the nearest populated, road-connected part of China (小嶝岛). The article claims that fishermen were caught within "1 nautical mile," equivalent to 1.852km. You're free to do the math.

Kinmen is notorious for being a KMT stronghold, which might explain why during the last election the government prevented some Kinmen residents from returning to the island to vote. There's been a distinct policy of disenfranchisement from Kinmen by the DPP.

If you're not white you're a tankie.

And the people opposing China are universally tied to the US through either NATO, Five Eyes, or US military occupation (Japan, South Korea).

Are you one of those people who think only white people matter?

Imagine citing Wikipedia lmao

You'd get laughed out of any academic context in a heartbeat

Western news is about vibes and clicks, not accurate reporting.

Tank man provided a good photo, but the video that shows him getting dragged away by other protestors doesn't tell the same story.

Is this the part of the story where you're reminded that forced sterilization and forced abortion has also been applied to the Han majority in support of one-child policy? No? Oh.
