... in China. Thought it pointed up the idiocy of faux.

This thread is about The Wall Street Journal.

Here's the thread about China. This is the one you're looking for. That story is from the Washington Post.

Twitter grapples with Chinese spam obscuring news of protests

HTH

Thanks for writing.

IMO there is an attempt to shift the narrative to China. We have the Chinese cell towers spying on military installations, we have Christopher Wray going on 60 Minutes and talking about all of the valid threats that China poses, including building police stations in the US. China is stealing our intellectual property, stealing business trade secrets, all valid concerns. The MSM is pushing the public uprisings in China.

My question to Christopher Wray is why did you lie to Congress and when will there be an independent investigation about the FBI's horrible reaction/non-reaction to 1/6? Yeah, yeah, do something about China while explaining why you fucked up 1/6?

It is so easy for the right to control the narrative. The discussion for the need for an independent investigation of the FBI and its head has been shit canned.

They went in deep and should have known better.

There are some two dozen stories give or take referenced on that front page. The story that gets the biggest typeface of them all is the one about Adidas.

Thank you for reading the OP.

He was just "elected" dear leader for life. China is on the fast-track to becoming a global superpower.

China engineered an economic miracle in a short period of time. Transforming China
from abject poverty/third world status to a modern country.

Xi is intoxicated with his brilliance and power.

China has been aligning with the other major world autocracies which would eventually
dominate the planet via economic control, military might and fear of nuclear war.

Additionally Xi's goals are to show the world how to manage an economy and to redefine "democracy."

But Xi is finding the going a bit rough.

Darn it, juggling a free market and giving people more freedom is not as easy as it looks.

Having international friends is also fraught with peril. His ally Putin has made Xi look like a fool, and made him put his Taiwan invasion on hold.

China's economy is in serious trouble. The housing sector was a big part of the economy and it tanked.
Causing the economy to take a serious hit. Many Chinese people lost their life savings and are quite unhappy.

The Covid lockdowns have shut down factories. Another major hit to the economy. College graduates cannot find jobs now.

The Chinese people are beyond tired of being locked up in their homes.

The US just made public how China is spying on US military bases on US soil.

Poor Xi, leaning the hard way that the crown lies heavily upon a king.

Thanks for posting this Mahat.
