It follows speculation that a man who fought UK protesters was China's consul-general.

    I don’t know, I’m worried about this narrative. Youtube suggested some video claiming to expose secret Chinese police stations in countries around the world, and if this gets pushed in the mainstream then we could get the Chinese Exclusion act 2.0 or something. A few years ago the US already gutted university chinese programs by kicking out all the confucius institutes for baseless accusations of espionage.

      to expose secret Chinese police stations in countries around the world

      How does that would even function? Police by definition needs jurisdiction to even be police, so it can only happen on extrateritorial embassy grounds where it would be of no consequence to the state it’s in, otherwise it is just normal intelligence.

      Also of course those same people reacted very differently about USA black torture sites and bioweapon labs all over the world.

        It was on Sky News Australia: https://youtu.be/MDzNZnjxU9k I only watched like 10 seconds to try and see what their claim was.

        I was weirded out because it was suggested when I watched the grandson of Stalin interview posted here recently, maybe just because they were both Australian channels.

        When I looked this back up though the story is showing up on Fox News and other news media. Like I said, I worry since the Democrats hate China just as much as the Republicans, maybe more, so I’m not sure that there’s any political force against the rising sinophobia in the US.

          Sky Australia is the equivalent of Fox as it’s also under Murdoch’s media empire lol. That channel is spreading like a cancer (through being free to air) and radicalizing its huge viewer base to the far right.

          In Australia there’s also worry about what happens when ‘liberal tolerance’ runs out and they’ll gladly join in with these dickheads to put us in camps. IIRC In one of the propaganda vids about the coming war with the PRC, one of the ethnically Chinese guests said to the other bootlicker guest that the west had a precedent with these types of camps and that “he’ll meet him there” if anything did happen lol.

    I need the full story here.

    What was the protest about?

    So a Chinese diplomat decided to throw hands at protesters?

    Cause if it was about any liberal bullshit like Taiwan or Tibet or all these bullshit ass accusations against China; they deserved not just an ass beating but a mandatory educatiom until they fucking understand.

    And if so; god damn. Save some for me homie. Rest your potatoes and tag me in.

      I heard it was a pro Hong Kong protest and a general protest against Xi or something.

      Pretty rich from the police to say that the UK is a free country with a right to protest when a month ago they were arresting people protesting Queen Lizzard’s death.

      My understanding is that there were some anti China protesters near the chinese embassy (probably some HK separatists or similar), and they tried to force their way inside the Embassy and were repealed by the embassy staff, but the BBC then shamelessly told that it was the opposite and that the embassy staf were the one who tried to drag a protester inside the embassy (https://meet.google.com/xjp-rfhr-sun?authuser=0&hs=122) to “disappear them”. Which is ridiculous hen you realise that just watching their video clearl show the protesters as the ones on the offensive in the first place.

      Seriously, the official declaration from the UK are literally opposite to what you can see with your eyes in the video of the event:

      “Shortly before 4pm a small group of men came out of the building and a man was dragged into the consulate grounds and assaulted,” the statement said."

      Here is the picture they used showing the man supposedly being dragged: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/0E96/production/_127243730_ab007ba2-be91-4e18-9589-93e48eab6dea.jpg.webp

      But then watch their video (in the same article I linked), and you will see some person taking down one of the protesters banners, which the BBC declare as an attack on the protesters, but then immediatly every protesters run toward the embassy gates and try to force their way in, it’s only then that the embassy staff reacted -to literally prevent the protesters to enter the embassy, not the opposite.
