GOOD CALL! Taiwan REJECTED by World Health Organization

We support you Taiwan 🇹🇼

Youtube is making a rod for it's own back. It's just a matter of time.

I have a question. I like to search YouTube for videos of news from African countries. Inevitably, the CCTV or CGTN videos are very quick to show up first. I do confess to enjoying watching their news coverage of things I cannot find elsewhere. (Particularly regarding those lovely and not-at-all insidious Belt and Road projects...) Do you know of any Western (or even US) networks who take interest in Latin American and African news subjects? Could well be an important entrepot for combatting the Chinese in their information war...

First time I've ever sponsored anyone so you must be doing something right to get a tight git like me to do sponsor you, well done to you all thanks for the truth and giggle.

This episode made me a Patreon. Outstanding job! Keep up the great, highly informative work!!!

Chris - If all the countries around the world refused to trade with China and expelled Chinese organizations from their borders, what would likely be China's reaction?

Chris - it seems all communist regimes have failed. By calling it "Communism with Chinese Characteristics" you are suggesting that their 'version' of communism may succeed. I don't think (??) that's your intention...

You all should read this. I'll be sending this in a message directly via patreon. "The propaganda out of China of late has been…notable. Beijing has accused the French of using their nursing homes as death camps, has blamed Italy for being the source of the coronavirus (at the very peak of Italian deaths), has charged the US Army with bringing the virus to China in the first place, has thrown a “fact sheet” of truly disbelievable disinformation at the fact-oriented Germans, and turned the country’s ambassadorial core into cut-rate tabloid distributors – all while leaning on anyone and everyone from the United Nations to the World Health Organization to the European Union to regional legislative bodies to alternatively suppress and delete any information or analysis that does anything but laud China, as well as push them to take public stances that slobberingly praise China.   In doing so the Chinese have seemingly deliberately wrecked their relations with the Americans, French, Italians, Germans, Czechs, South Africans, Kazakhs and Nigerians, just to name a few. (The Swedes had all but ended their diplomatic relationship with China – having come to the public conclusion that the Chinese government was a pack of genocidal, power-mad, information-suppressing, exploitive, ultranationalists – before COVID.)   Nor are these disturbing shifts limited to the realm of foreign disinformation. Propaganda at home is boiling in a new direction as well. Overt, blatant racism is the core of the new program, with the government expressly blaming foreigners of all stripes for coronavirus in specific and China’s ills in general. Everything from restaurants to buses to gyms are banning foreigners. As a rule the government edicts are color-blind, but there are plenty of stories out there of this or that municipality or establishment singling out this or that nationality or skin color for…special consideration.   And the invective will get more offensive and self-destructive and seemingly stupid. China’s propaganda offensive April was done by the professionals – the folks at the head of the Ministry of Truth-, er, Foreign Affairs. All the lies and everything that demeaned and insulted countries in the grips of the coronavirus was expressly deliberate and sanctioned from the top, with the ambassadorial core directed to follow suit. (For those of you who like names, watch spokesman Zhao Lijian, a man who enjoys Chairman Xi’s personal sponsorship).   But we aren’t in April any longer, and China’s propaganda effort has become more diffuse, adopting more of a mob mentality. Now the entire governing apparatus has been unleashed, including agencies and bureaus down to the local level who normally have nothing to do with public relations, much less official propaganda. There is no longer a cohesive storytelling effort a la the Soviet style of propaganda. It is as if the Chinese equivalent of the MAGA crowd and the Bernie Bros are suddenly part of the propaganda effort, working alongside – or at least in parallel to – the Voice of America and the State Department.   The April propaganda was sophomoric and moronic, particularly at influencing foreign audiences or achieving some sort of strategic goal. In May it has already degraded into the realm of the infantile. My personal favorite was when an apparatchik made a lovely post stating “We condemn the fatso to death” with the “fatso” in question being US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Considering the ultrafine mesh the Chinese internal censorship dragnet has been using of late, that particular post’s ongoing longevity is a testament to just how holistic the CCP’s effort has become.   In the past few weeks the Chinese have deliberately destroyed three decades of efforts to build up soft power. I have never seen this sort of influence collapse, much less on a global scale. Even the Soviet fall saw Moscow retain influence throughout Latin America, Africa and the Middle East…and then the Soviet Union collapsed. The Trump administration just lost their Olympic gold in Gravitas Destruction to the Xi administration, and not by a small margin.   So…what the hell?" There's more but you should check it out. https://us11.campaign-archive.com/?u=de2bc41f8324e6955ef65e0c9&id=e6539b92c8

How about the 15 arrested in HK? Are they being tortured? Aha, would YT pull that one!?

There has to be a money trail from China to YouTube...

I know! It wasn’t at all to criticize Chris and his team. But as he said himself, I guess we never will want to see an episode like that again. That’s why I became a Patreon - well, so it had some upside effect. Shame on YouTube!!! What they do is so obvious and so low.....

Hi Chris, I love your work and thanks for doing this hard and dangerous job!!However, this episode seems a bit too cynical for too long of a period. Most Americans don’t have a real sense of humor, like the Brits or most Europeans, so that many people may get confused. To me it looked seeing you praising the current „leader“ of the totally corrupt and CCP-loving so called WHO and to see you budge and bow for the none less corrupt and bud-kissing YouTube organization, even when I knew you didn’t mean any of you said at all! A little bit of cynicism every once in awhile is ver refreshing and funny, but this long episode filling praising those jerks wasn’t quite that funny. Keep the good work up, keep digging and keep telling the world the truth of the new empire, the CCP and their theme park the PRC! I feel very very sorry for Taiwan and Hong Kong. It’s Hong Kong now, Taiwan next and tomorrow the whole world. I am German and in our country‘s tragical and sad near pst we had a guy promoting exactly the same ideas and using exactly the same „Nazi“ methods to bully the free world. That goodness, that didn’t go well and it was stopped. People need to learn from history! There is little to no difference between A.H, Joseph Stalin or Winnie the Pooh. All carved from the same block of wood. We need to stop that since it is already far beyond the „beginnings“. Stop appeasing and feedin the crocodile hoping you will be eaten at the very end! Stop feeding the beast. And continue to call out all of those irresponsibly selfish and self enriching countries (like Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, etc etc) already totally depending on the CCP, or the EU or the WHO and UN. Totally disgusting, selling our values to the highest and nastiest bidder. Money truly is NOT everything!!! And CCP money comes at a ver high price - often ending in slavery. Do we all want the CCP style society. I hope not and more people will realize the threat!!!!

i see this wumao facepalm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLgekyOZA0 :D

Chris, I definitely feel there was “misinformation” in here... Disappointed about the fact your channel is being suppressed., that sucks.

This video made me a patron.

Wow. YouTube's ass kissing of Xi is disgusting! Your dry satire is great and informative. This China Censored thing is angering and sad bc we are in America. Pooooh, Pooooh YouTube. I would like to throw a boot at each of the heads of Alphabet Co's CEOs.

According to Susan you are enemy to China, she is enemy to reason.

Chris you do sarc so well.

How long until we begin to see the CCP elites abandoning the sinking ship like rats? They have anchor babies, overseas wealth and such, that the common Chinese citizen does not have. How can we keep them from escaping justice for polluting and crippling China?

I fear Xi is getting desperate. A wounded animal is the most dangerous.

Brilliant! BIG like! :D

"China Censored" !!!

Appreciate you guys doing all the work of summarizing articles. It's going to get harder as you guys grow even bigger than you already are. Might even end up getting attacked by China one day....

China gained too much influence in the world politics, it goes to the extent where majority can no longer have influence.

The world has to support Taiwan and hongkong
