Anonymous Twitter users are exposing the extreme nationalism and pro-Russian sentiment circulating online in China -- and Beijing is not happy about it.
Of all the ways you could possibly interpret it, you deliberately chose the most most ridiculous interpretation.
A more reasonable interpretation is to note that internet atmosphere of highly censored political discourse, comments spreading fake news, comments encouraging warmongering and comments derisive of Ukraine have a place within political discourse on China’s internet.
That this is permitted a place on the spectrum of acceptable opinion is the point. It’s easier to caricature the point by exaggerating it and then disagreeing with the exaggeration.
Was I exaggerating? The article said that they’re translating social media posts.
Also, I always thought China and Russia were the countries doing the most censoring, but this war has opened my eyes, only for me to see the blindfold over them.
In the last week, the USA has condemned India and Turkey for human rights violations and now there’s the whole Shanghai debacle. The common denominator is these countries’ refusal to sanction Russia, according to the USA’s wishes.
West media is a mass censorship/propaganda machine, akin to China’s and Russia, and social media is a cesspool of stupidity all over the world.
