• ISIS-K back in the news recently. A year ago Vice reported their (failing) targeting of China over Xinjiang. No Muslim countries believe, only literally ISIS backs US propaganda, upset China dismantled their movement in Xinjiang. Use your brain...or at least be upfront who your team is.

• It's that time of year again! The New Year for the Chinese calendar. Again, whether your calendar is rooted in the Chinese calendar or not (wikipedia and/or AI can help), you don't get a say on what the Chinese calendar new year is called. Regardless what it's called, the traditions are Chinese as well (script calligraphy, lanterns, fireworks, firecrackers, zodiac animal, red envelope, etc.), so suggesting all lunar calendars (Chinese one is lunisolar btw) celebrate with them is even more absurd.

• Trolling over DPP is pointless. The only changes from the last administration was countries dropping recognition. Last times Pelosi political hype only resulted in a blockade and subsequent defacto Chinese dominance in the air and sea minutes from Taipei. This DPP is even weaker than the last. Tibet, Xinjiang, HK, SCS...is this some sort of '5th times the charm' desperation? 😂

• If you are new, go through the fakenews flair and these inconvenient truths first to be more informed.

• CPC National Congress Reflection...of all the things anti China clowns hyped and then lost in the last few years

• 'rEvoLuTiOn Of OuR tImE' 😂

• Imagine "trolling" that the island of Taiwan is not Chinese with the literal Chinese flag in the early 1900s. Fun fact, nobody ever say the island was not Chinese when ROC sat in UN China seat. After PRC takes over that very seat magically it's different. 🤡

• Imagine obsessing over China's population and forgetting over 90% are Han (over 97% in Taiwan), the largest ethnic group by far, writing with Chinese characters and (mostly) speak Mandarin...distant second is either a mish mash of Arab countries or (more accurately) Bengalis.

• US continues to be forced to toss away their professed values trying to maintain hegemony. Free speech lost to user restrictions. Free media lost to news bans. Free economy lost to gov. led. Free trade lost to trade restrictions. Complete 180 on government in personal lives. No matter the excuse for it, the value being tossed isn't China's. That's what really gets under their skin. That their values failed and they had to abandon them.

• Groups that bought into "U.S. values" rhetoric, worked for U.S. then got betrayed: Hmong (Vietnam), Syrian rebels, Kurds (ISIS), HK rioters, Guaido (Venezuela), Afghan servicemen/translators (Taliban, who are now mocking Iwo Jima photo while wearing US military gear 😂), Ukraine (Budapest Memorandum, NATO membership)

• lockdown protests or pro democracy belly flop

• With yet ANOTHER failure by the US at the UN on Xinjiang, sidebar no longer has enough room to document all their humiliation. Most recently Western initiative outnumbered 96 to 50 -> info moved over to our archive thread

• "aMeRiCa StAnDs WiTh TaIwAn!" -> then right after saying that America watched, from afar, as Taiwan literally got surrounded, blockaded and violated. Then had to stand there and listen to countries all over the world react to all this by restating they adhere to the One China Policy. Not praising US or supporting Taiwan. Black Sea shipping slowed to a crawl without Russian deal. How many defacto blockades can Westerners pretend not to see? No land alternatives for Taiwan genius.
