Thread: The View, from China

Fuck you post some witless bullshit, e.g.:

One thing China is certainly leading on is the destruction of forests. According to a WWF study, China’s imports of agricultural commodities drive more deforestation globally than any other market – including the United States and the European Union combined.

Now *this* is hilarious. A group of decent, open-minded Chinese citizens ripping the piss out of the chinky propaganda crap!

"We did occasionally show the sensible comments, all of them got fractions of the upvotes, and were bashed by the nationalists, calling them traitor, for example."

It added: "The growing number of absurd comments on the Chinese internet we see today is a culmination of what the CCP intended them to be, the long-term effects of mass censorship and propaganda, the exclusion of the outside world exacerbated by the language barrier, the collectivist Confucian culture of unquestioningly obeying one's rulers no matter how despotic they may be, the memories of the student protesters' political consequences during the budding democracy of Tiananmen 1989, the destruction of scholarly thought and values during the Cultural Revolution."

And despite the reaction from Chinese state media, TGTM has no intention of stopping.

The group told Sky News: "No matter what, it's important to continue reaching out to the rest of the free world to show them the Chinese internet, popular Chinese sentiments, and what the CCP does."

Thank China for meeting the growing demands of those that have. Along with delivering on their UN agreed Carbon reduction plans.

Too many Chinese around to let them sit around and make havoc.

There is gullible, and then there is Sabang.

And then there is the BBC and their infamous grey filter!! p.s:- having been so embarassingly exposed, they mysteriously changed it. Trees in China are green after all!

It looks as though the “grey filter” was to make the guy appear a normal skin tone and not an orange.

Na, just cheap shoddy propaganda masquerading as journalism kitty.

Yes. That’s the way Chinese media works.

Premier Li Keqiang is emphasizing job creation and economic stimulus while President Xi sticks doggedly to his ‘zero-Covid’ policy


China will spur job creation through fiscal and monetary policies in response to a foundering economy caused by the government’s dogged insistence on maintaining a “zero-Covid” policy amid virus outbreaks and shifting dynamics in the international environment.

China’s State Council has called for more job creation in its weekly executive meetings for three consecutive weeks. Premier Li Keqiang said on Wednesday (May 13) the government would adopt new policies that prioritize employment creation, mobilize existing assets, broaden the channels for private investment and expand effective investment.

Li’s comments came after the General Administration of Customs said on Monday the year-on-year growth rate of China’s exports contracted to 3.9% in April from 14.7% in March. This week, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) allowed the yuan to further depreciate by about 1.8% against the United States dollar to boost exports and slow capital outflows.

The Chinese currency has depreciated by 6.2% since late April.

Meanwhile, some political commentators said Li could have gained more political power in the politburo meeting on April 29 – since then he has become more high profile in leading the government’s economic work.

They said Li’s emphasis on economic growth and job creation appears to contradict President Xi Jinping’s “zero-Covid” policy, showing that party leaders had different views about how to deal with recent Covid outbreaks.

Shanghai has been locked down since March 28 and about five million residents still could not leave their homes or villages as of Wednesday. Zhao Dandan, the deputy director of Shanghai’s health commission, said on Thursday it was not time to ease curbs, although the epidemic situation had improved this month.

Shanghai residents take issue with 'fake' propaganda claims about reopening

Residents of Shanghai have been reporting their city government to a national fraud hotline after claims of fully stocked, open supermarkets and eateries were posted by a ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) newspaper.


Shanghai officials say the city has been free from any new COVID-19 infections for four days straight, as some shops have been allowed to open and public transport will likely resume at the weekend.


Residents of housing compounds are now being allowed out on a limited basis, one person at a time, and with ongoing restrictions on their movements in the local area.


Some 790,000 people remain under total lockdown, while 2.71 million are still subject to strict controls on their movements and 19.8 million are now in "prevention" areas requiring a green health code to travel or access goods and services outside the home.


Citywide testing and contract-tracing will continue, hoping to close in fast on any new infections to contain outbreaks before they can spread, municipal health commission spokesman Zhao Dandan told journalists on Wednesday.


Infected people and close contacts will continue to be sent to isolation facilities, Zhao said.


Since the city government claimed it had achieved zero-COVID on Monday, officials have ramped up local visits and inspections, with municipal party secretary Li Qiang visiting Fengxian district and mayor Gong Zheng visiting Songjiang district on Tuesday, to encourage ongoing testing and tracing efforts.


CCP newspaper the People's Daily also published a graphic based on the Shanghai government's plans to reopen food and beverage businesses from May 16, describing breakfast and dim sum bars, fast food joints, hair salons, supermarkets and farmers' markets as opening up gradually.

Fraud hotline report
Social media users hit out at the graphic, with some people posting screenshots showing they had reported the municipal authorities to a national fraud hotline.


"Sort this account out," one comment read, referencing the Shanghai government's official Weibo account, while another wrote: "Sort out the Shanghai government, stop them talking rubbish with their eyes open."


"Please sort out @shanghaifabu," another tip-off says, referencing the same account.


The People's Daily account later removed the graphic.


A Xuhui district resident surnamed Zhou said senior officials appear to be ramping up public appearances as part of their "celebration" of zero-COVID.


"The leaders will be putting on a show, including appearing under the Oriental Pearl tower," Zhou said. "They have already begun rehearsals, and they seem to be getting ready to celebrate."

Zhou said the compound he lives in remains locked down, and he can't go out even to buy daily necessities.


"A lot of stores are still closed right now, so there's no point in going out anyway," Zhou told RFA. "Even if the stores are open, they have nothing in stock, nothing to buy."


"If you want to buy stuff, you still have to rely on group buying," he said.


Fresh fruit highly sought after


Zhou said one of the most sought-after items is fresh fruit, with even apples currently selling for prices 50 percent higher than before lockdown.


In a video clip posted to social media, a member of a neighborhood committee in Xuhui accused local residents of breaking disease control regulations by buying in fruit, and stop them from collecting their order.


"All we want is to eat some fruit," a woman says in the video. "It was banned until May 15, but we're still not allowed to order it on May 16."

“Now there are several people dragging me away," she says. "This is such bullshit. Don't ordinary people have a right to live as well?"


Current affairs commentator Zhang Jianping said many people are angry over what they say is fake news stories being peddled by the authorities.


"Of course they're going to be angry, if they're living through hell in Shanghai right now," Zhang said. "We should take seriously these accusations of fake news coming from the people of Shanghai."


"They should take a good look at their content. The police lied and released false information, so this post was bound to cause offense to people," he said.


Meanwhile, police detained a man surnamed Lu on Tuesday at the China Resources Vanguard supermarket in Global Harbor on suspicion of "conjuring up rumors from thin air," the Shanghai government said.


Lu had allegedly claimed that the supermarket was being forced to operate by the government under chaotic management and in filthy conditions.


Lu was jailed on an administrative punishment by police in Shanghai's Putuo district for "disturbing public order with made-up allegations," it said.

Administrative sentences of up to 15 days can be handed down by police to perceived troublemakers without trial.

^The sad reality of real Chines peoples lives.

Hong Kong and mainland China were very different in the past Sabang. Not so much today I’m sad to say. Building, cars and roads to know where don’t make up for the difference I’m sorry to say.

Such draconian persistence by the archaic leadership can’t cope any longer.
