A US State Department report that accuses the Chinese government of expanding disinformation efforts is “in itself disinformation,” Beijing’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed Saturday.
The ministry shot back after the State Department issued a striking report this week in which it accused the Chinese government of expanding efforts to control information and to disseminate propaganda and disinformation that promotes “digital authoritarianism” in China and around the world.
The US report, issued by the Global Engagement Center on Thursday, alleged that China spends billions of dollars a year on foreign information manipulation and warned that Chinese leader Xi Jinping had “significantly expanded” efforts to “shape the global information environment.”
It also underlined US concerns about China as a main military competitor and key rival in the battle over ideas and global disinformation.
Indeed, Russia arrests people for things like saying that Crimea is Ukraine.
…have you actually read the article? Are you aware that it’s talking about Russian suppression of journalism? That Ukraine got them out of Russian prison via prisoner exchanges?
That is your response to a thread starting out with a post pointing out tankies not bothering to read the sources they quote? To quote a source you didn’t read?
???
You posted this link: https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/here-are-stories-5-reporters-persecuted-ukraine-doing-their-job-past
That’s what I responded to. I’ll have to add “quote the link right away” to my toolbox now, are you happy.
As to Tkachev: He’s a known separatist sympathiser. Yes, Ukraine arrests collaborators. You’ll of course find plenty of Russian and Russia-influenced media claiming that every single one of them was a saint.
Looks like your own propaganda. Must have had it up on another tab.
You know very well that you’re lying, I fished the thing out of my browser history. You may fool others, but you can’t fool yourself.
Nice try, but I didn’t post that link.
I can assure you you’re only saying this for the audience. Because you know what you did and gaslighting me won’t work.
I didn’t post the link, you’re just upset I proved you wrong with the link I provided. Very pathetic tactic by you.
It’s been two days and your failure to read things before you quote them is still eating at you.
I applaud that, means you have a conscience left. Be aware, though, that doubling down will not make you save face, on the contrary. Owning up would be commendable, but slinking away is within the realm of the expected and ordinary, no hard feelings. Not even judgement, you have your internal and external pressures to deal with, I understand.
Toodeloo, if I ever need a place to live rent-free I’ll be sure to have a look at your head.
