Comment A new cultural revolution (Score -1) 70

an unthinkable outcome during the Cultural Revolution when it was banned as a game of the decadent West.

While China has learned from the mistakes of Cultural Revolution and have liberalized its people from most aspects of life (*),

Russia's Sergey Karjakin, whom the international chess federation banned for his vocal support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

the West is decaying in path of its own version of Cultural Revolution (**).

(*) of course, most media in the West would insist that China has absolutely no freedom and people believe so because they don't actually read real Chinese (social or traditional) media like this comment did; the reality is more like China has no absolute freedom -- indeed you would get less much trouble criticizing Xi Jinping than, for example, publicly voicing support for N-a-z-i in Europe or making racial slurs in the U.S.

(**) and especially in the light of the hypocrisy considering the West (NATO + USA) have launched the most wars and invaded numerous countries including Yugoslavia and Iraq since the end of WW2 and Cold War.

then let international observers in and we’ll see for ourselves how glorious the Chinese miracle is. Oh, you wont let us actually look?

First, China is sovereign nation. They have no obligation to prove themselves. As the pretext to Iraq War, the US and the western world fabricated the Weapon of Mass Destruction claim and demand inspection. At the end, it has been proven a big lie. For same token, the USARMIID lab in Maryland had a major accident right before the COVID pandemic, shouldn't the US allow free inspection of this military lab by the international community? Will it? Should the US let "us" actually investigate Guantanamo Bay prison? Let the international community investigate Snowden leaks? Let "us" probe Manning leaks freely? And investigate who's behind the rape accusations against Julian Assange? Why don't the US allow such investigations? Because that would mean political suicide! The same would be the case for Iraq, Australia, or China. Why should the US be exempted? American Exceptionalism?

Second, what does it mean by an "open investigation"? Can the international community exam the secret documents of the DOD and CIA? if not, how do anyone prove everything relevant has been truly opened?

Third, how do you prove if the witness of such "open" inspection actually tell the truth? After all, if your enemy's spy agency pays enough money, they can buy all kind of witness, such as this innocent girl named Nayirah, to tell the world what you want the world to hear. If you still have trouble understanding this line scams, check out these Chinese asylum seekers who fabricated accusations against their motherland for the benefit of a greencard. Then who should we believe? And how will your enemy spin on these accusations?

And after the US has committed so many lies, these accusations should be obvious fabrications, unless you're brainwashed or deliberately deceiving yourself.

China is not Iraq! It's a superpower with real WMDs along with the largest industry base and the second largest economy.

At least in the US we're allowed to publicly call our leaders liars ... What would happen to a Chinese person who dared criticize Xi in public?

Really?

Actually, you have a point of freedom to call the leaders liars, because those government liars would never be sent to jail. Check out the fate of George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and Colin Powell after the Iraq War -- they all went to retirements with handsome severance pays.

The trick of American Freedom(TM) is that you can speak against any political leader, but you are not allowed to expose real (*), dirty secrets harming active US national (and that of cybersecurity, military industrial complex) interests, else you get the treatment of Manning, Snowden or Assange.

(*) Note: you can however speak any opinions about them as long as you don't present the real dirty evidences.

*Consistently publishing anything that supports US foreign Policy narratives regarding designated enemies, whilst simultaneously never publishing anything that Highlights the facts, as revealed by Wikileaks and other Whistleblowers, that reveals the criminal activity of Western Governments

Slashdot is no longer a reliable. It may as well be mainstream media now.

Whenever the US is trying to fight a foreign enemy, they will have to mobilize all propaganda apparatus so that the public opinions will be fooled to support the casualties and costs from the operations. It's nothing new, always works, and nobody has ever been punished for that. Thousands of US soldiers have died in Iraq War and trillions of tax payer dollars spent, zero US government officials went to jail over that.

You can always tease any POTUS, Trump or Biden, and nobody would care, but if you voiced against the US national interests, you will be forced to exile, jailed, or accused being an WuMao.

Submission + - Intel Apologizes in China over Xinjiang Statement (cnn.com)

AltMachine writes: Intel has apologized in China following a backlash over a directive to suppliers not to source products or labor from the Xinjiang region where "forced labors" are allegedly occurring, though critics pointed out that the claims are based on dubious researches made by groups with backing from China's geopolitical rivals US and NATO. "Although our original intention was to ensure compliance with US laws, this letter has caused many questions and concerns among our cherished Chinese partners, which we deeply regret," the company said in a statement on Weibo, a Twitter-like service. In the statement [link in Chinese], Intel explicitly denies taking any position on the controversial matters. Chinese pop star Wang Junkai, the brand ambassador for Intel Core, announced Wednesday that he had cut all ties with Intel over its statement, saying "national interests are above all else." On Thursday, Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for China's foreign ministry, said that "claims related to Xinjiang, such as forced labor" are "lies by US's anti-China forces." In an email to CNN Business, an Intel spokesperson said the company would continue to ensure its global sourcing complies with applicable laws and regulations in the United States and in other jurisdictions.

Well, if someone else is doing it too, it must be OK. So you support these practices, then?

1. Your fallacy is that this is not about "whataboutism" because accusations against China are generated by the same propaganda apparatus which has proven to falsified, exaggerated false claims, again and again.

2. But it has all to do with double standard and hypocrisy. Call me when the US congress pass laws to sanction the USA over torturing Muslims and other end-less human rights violation.
