The Red Remotes---- A new immigrant's view of the Chinese community in New Zealand
The Red Remote---- How China's Communist Party Manipulates Chinese Community
By Freeman You in New Zealand
Abstract:
The Chinese community is diverse but heavily influenced by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), especially in open and liberal democracies.
The CCP runs very rich, very large and very sophisticated United Front organisations with the power of the Chinese state, covering almost all Chinese communities around the world, and also attempts to corruptly influence elites in local communities, influence elections, and influence government policy.
The tactics of the CCP are:
1, Keep brainwashing everyone in China with nationalism mixed with communism, starting from kindergarten and primary school.
2, Keep continuing to brainwash the Chinese people outside of China with the Chinese language media.
3, Threatening and fearing Chinese people with Chinese laws and transnational repression, most likely through Chinese triad organisations.
4，Manipulating the Chinese community with pro-CCP organisations and fanatical nationalist volunteers.

About seven years ago, I migrated from mainland China to New Zealand. I took a look at the map, crossing over 10,000 kilometres and flying across the South Pacific. I thought, from then on, I was away from the crazy communist China, and from then on, I would enjoy freedom and dignity. Slowly, I realised that I was wrong. Even many Chinese people in New Zealand love the CCP more than those in mainland China. In the following, I will document what I have seen and heard about the various organisations and leaders in the Chinese community.

II, In schools

I. In churches
1, the Bread of Life Christian Church, Auckland
Church is the most important place for new immigrates to a new country to socialise, to rebuild social networks and to gain a sense of security.

RT Articles are Finding their Way to European Audiences – but how?
ISD identified four different types of websites that are providing loopholes for RT content to reach the EU information space. These are:
Variations of RT domain names that direct to RT servers and were created after the start of the invasion;
Mirror websites that are identical to RT’s ‘official’ sites, but could not be directly attributed to the outlet;
Websites that copy-paste articles from RT in their entirety;
Websites that direct traffic to RT.
For some of these websites, analysts found indications of monetization. The first two categories, the alternative RT domains and mirror websites, have amassed millions of views over the past months. This is thanks, at least in part, to their content being shared across social media by official RT accounts.
Posts that link to these domains have been shared over 456,000 times on Twitter and Facebook, with a significant peak identified at the beginning of April. While RT Facebook accounts are not accessible from a European location, on Twitter the ban can be circumvented by manually changing the location settings of one’s account. Furthermore, the websites these posts promote continue to be listed in Google search results, potentially driving traffic from the search engine to RT content.

For all its sins Germany has done a remarkably (though not perfect) job in accepting its crimes and teaching them. Japan is at the US-level of denial where cheap chauvinism and propaganda substitute reality.
