davel , to worldnews in French army says prepared for 'toughest' engagements
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Maybe they don’t anticipate especially tough engagements, because two weeks ago French officials also clarified that any potential forces sent would likely support operations such as de-mining rather than direct combat with Russian forces.

All of that stuff happens in international retail with any country, and with software coming from any country.

I think you’re just being bigoted.

@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Does anyone know a reliable site for checking? This is just a random one I found: www.chinafirewalltest.com/?siteurl=lemmy.ml

lemmy.world seems to not be blocked. I have no idea how they make these decisions 🤷

Edit to add: FWIW Wikipedia has a short list of test sites: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_websites_blocked_in_ma…

I don’t doubt it: en.wikipedia.org/…/Capital_punishment_in_China

Although most death sentences are “with reprieve,” which seldom lead to execution: en.wikipedia.org/…/Death_sentence_with_reprieve

All of those are on the public record.

What I’m saying is: where is their evidence for an “estimated thousands of executions carried out” that are secret?

Like, a whole lot of secret state executions, pinky swear. 😂

Uh-huh: en.wikipedia.org/…/Incarceration_in_the_United_St…

The United States has the largest known prison population in the world, it has 5% of the world’s population, and 20% of the world’s incarcerated persons. China, with four times more inhabitants, has less persons in prison.

tankie stooge.

The banality of liberalism.

My country is manufacturing consent for a World War III that could end in nuclear winter, and I dissent.

Hell, even their mass produced fake electronics paint a grim picture at the micro level of how that country operates.

Where do most iPhones and other smartphones and laptops come from? What country has more high speed rail trackage than every other country combined? Yes, they will also output cheap crap if companies are willing to sell them.

That’s also hysterical that you are removed about western propaganda, when China is the undisputed king of bulk fake news.

Where to start…

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.

“I have to admit, I’m always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, it’s nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.”

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. "Thank you friend, but you must be confused… There’s no propaganda in America."

.
Below is a copypasta of my own comment last week, in response to someone’s weapons-grade gish gallop: “I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime. Not to mention their genocide of the Uighur people, their oppression of Hong Kong, their attempts to steal Taiwan’s sovereignty.”

Tiananmen square massacre

their genocide of the Uighur people

This bullshit never ends, does it?

their oppression of Hong Kong

Hong Kong was the product of the UK’s century of Chinese oppression, and their 99 year lease on oppressing Hong Kong ended in 1997.

steal Taiwan’s sovereignty

Taiwan is only considered sovereign by eleven countries, most of which are micronations like the Holy See, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Taiwan

was a bigger crime

If you keep getting your understanding of China from Five Eyes propaganda and corporate media, you’ll keep being wrong.

.
Corporate media paint China in the worst possible light they can get away with, because this is a cold war in which propaganda is a major component, just like last time. They absolutely do not want you to notice anything that makes capitalism look worse by comparison. Plus they get flak and lose access to sources if they don’t.

Presumably they won’t recover, because the Chinese state isn’t coming to their rescue: China’s housing minister says real estate developers must go bankrupt if necessary
