China's state-run media is more accurate than America's media-run state

Here you have an article in Global Times which is part of the Chinese state-run media empire. It's about the storming of the US Capitol. They accurately call out the hypocrisy of the American media-run state.

Quotes:

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying urged people to rethink such a political stance riddled with double standards after the Capitol building was stormed by pro-Trump protesters Wednesday, but Western media still insist on their sophism to defend the wavering standards on democracy and freedom of speech, with Chinese analysts saying on Monday that double standards based on power politics and hegemony will backfire in the country with more internal struggles to ensue.

That's pretty much what we predict will happen as well.

"No, Beijing, the Hong Kong protests were nothing like what happened on Capitol Hill" Olivia Enos, senior policy analyst at the Asian Studies Center at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, commented in an article published on the foundation's website on Saturday. She claimed that what happened during the 2019 Hong Kong turmoil was "overwhelmingly peaceful, pro-democracy." Some other Western commentators and journalists made similar comments in recent days.

Based China is calling out the cuckservatives at the Heritage Foundation. Lmao!

China is a strategic competitor identified by the US, although the two countries both want to restore public order and oppose violence after the riots on their respective lands, US elites and politicians will never retract their support for the Hong Kong rioters despite the embarrassment that the Capitol Hill riots had caused them, because "it's never about democracy or law and order, it's about strategic competition between major powers," said Song Luzheng, a research fellow at the China Institute of Fudan University.

No liberal moralism here. Just pure truth.

Double standards based on hegemony will undermine the credibility of US democracy, making it increasingly unconvincing around the globe and backfiring in the US with more internal struggles to ensue, said Chinese analysts, noting that Trump leaving office is just the beginning of endless political conflicts rather than an end to them.

Again, we and the CCP have very similar predictions on this topic.

When US politicians and media support violence elsewhere around the globe, not only in China's Hong Kong, but also in Ukraine, Egypt and some Latin American countries, Americans are also listening and many of them will believe that attacking police, storming governmental or legislative institutions are legitimate and right if "democracy" is used as the excuse, with the Capitol riots being the latest example of such backfiring, Lü said.

The chickens have come home to roost indeed.

Chinese experts said US politicians don't just have double standards on violence abroad, but also hold very different attitudes toward the Black Lives Matter movement which also turned violent with illegal acts occurring in many cities earlier in 2020. Many media and politicians at that time refused to directly criticize the protesters but focused on criticizing the Trump administration, and when a similar incident occurred as with Trump supporters, they united to call them "mob"

And here we have it folks, China's "communists" are dismantling the most disgusting propaganda campaign of 2020. Who could have predicted this 10 years ago?

Song from Fudan University said the credibility of US democracy has been seriously undermined. Even Western leaders and media are trying to distort the current mess from a systemic crisis into "an exception caused by Trump," and "they can no longer convince other countries that power transitions with a Western democratic system are 'peaceful' and 'the one person one vote' will conclude with a result of legitimacy that won't be challenged by the people."

The Chinese are reading Legality and Legitimacy by Carl Schmitt.

Anyway, if this is what China's "scary" state-run media looks like, I'll take it over America's media-run state any day of the week.

The chinese "communists" are actually very non-ideological. They're pragmatic materialists above everything else. The Chinese elites are not hate-filled bolsheviks, or even maoists. Mao was a psychopath who inflicted irreversible damage upon chinese civilization, but the influence Maoism still retains in China is mostly superficial. The cultural revolution is seen for what it was, a genocidal terror campaign, and denounced accordingly. There seems to be no intention by the chinese leadership to spread maoist ideology around the world, on the contrary, they seem to even respect the cultural institutions of the countries they are economically colonizing.

The US regime on the other hand is now more insane and destructive to the world than the soviets ever were. America is the new headquarters of godless bolshevism, and there is a reason for that. The US elites is now mostly descended from the people who instituted bolshevism and genocided orthodox christians in Russia. It's the SAME group. The same culture, the same mentality, the same intellectual breeding ground. Secularized "Eastern European" Jews. After wrecking russian civilization they moved to a different host and are doing the same, except more efficiently as they've learned from their previous mistakes. America's problem is jewish and the most important thing at this moment is to make conservatives wake up to that fact.

I trust both Chinese and Russian state-affiliated media way more than American Media

Ditto for Middle Eastern news sources vs. Israeli ones. But even Israeli media ispre truthful than American Jewish media

If it doesn't go nuclear, the US has no chance in hell.

If it goes nuclear, then both evil empires vanish and the world is saved

Its a huge post in and of itself. But long story short, Taiwan is key to maintaining a US blockade on China. China's huge marine corps, airborne forces and amphibious assault force means they have the means to quickly take Taiwan.

Submarines and cruise missiles are a daunting threat to US carriers and the US navy will be forced to stay at stand off ranges for a while.

Carrier borne sortie rates are low as it is and greater range will decrease it further. In contrast, the vast Chinese air force can maintain huge numbers over taiwan which is just 300 km from the coast.

The US can't stop them from taking Taiwan and its impossible for them to libeate Taiwan D day style due to the fact that Chinese coastal missile batteries will decimate any assault ships
