A photograph of two Chinese athletes hugging after a race has been censored on Chinese social media because the womenâs race numbers inadvertently formed a reference to the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.
How fragile is their regime if it is threatened by race numbers?
This may sound stupid, but from the view of a government this is actually advantageous. Better censor something before it can be used by the resistance as an identification mark that flies under the radar than to let it gain relevance have your late censorship get even more public attention than it would have otherwise.
They are own goaling their economy with these counter productive pencil pusher jobs that provide zero or negative input to the economy.
Real estate crisis, reduction of jobs especially in the younger population, lack of investment from overseas because of zero covid for too long forcing companies to move supply chains and thatâs before picking a fight with everyone causing uncertainty which makes it less investable.
Cutting down the âprivateâ sector which provided the majority of the jobs because that would threaten pooh bear.
Itâll make China weaker in the long run, but the people in charge wonât care, theyâll be long dead before then. All the people in the top powers are all multi billionaires, even if they lost 95 percent of their wealth they would still live extremely comfortably.
As for the general populace, I like to use the Kim Jong Un anology - a fat man within a nation of skinny men. Not really of importance to the ruling elite.
Huh? Do you think America doesnât have pencil pushing leaches?
Theyâre called business degreesâŚ
At least talk about their over production of housing or something.
How desperately will the western media scrape the barrel to find something/anything to criticise China for.
This type of censorship seems like a pretty valid thing to criticize even though itâs pretty minor.
Lol, the Asian Games have been a roaring success in Hangzhou for nearly two weeks. From a spectacular opening ceremony to the joy of the athletes competing in an open and friendly environment, it been studiously ignored by the so-called global media yet they wallow in this like pigs in shit.
You all love to call anyone who is vaguely pro China (or anywhere else US/Nato doesnât like) shills but the whole of western corporate media are nothing less.
