Chinese students studying overseas face harassment and surveillance for participating in activism. There are often threats made against their families in China
"“Universities in Europe and North America are often unaware of, and ill-equipped to deal with, transnational repression and the resulting chilling effect taking place on their campuses,” said Sarah Brooks of Amnesty International
Teacher Li is a Chinese student living in Italy who became well known for disseminating censored information from China via his Twitter account. As a result he has faced repression from the Chinese government that has included threats against his family and followers in China as well as impacting his own life in Italy. This article provides details of this as an example of the CCP's transnational repression
UN experts say they have proof that Putin's army fired a North Korean Hwasong-11 series ballistic missile at civilians in #Kharkiv#Ukraine.
"Indicate procurement by nationals of the Russian Federation," they said, adding that this would be a violation of the arms embargo imposed on North Korea in 2006.
@skykiss like #russia care, they been denying that they target #civilians and using #chemicalweapons but still they just keep on doing all the bad things as they have veto in #UNSC and backed up by #ccp#china as they can get under market value oil from russia.
A singed document with russia is less worth than the paper it was written on.
...#WhiteHouse, they can expect little or at least less opposition from this foreign-controlled / indebted stooge (let's not forget about the #CCP deal we already know about!)
Hopefully, Biden will remain in office for 4 more years, though he will need to tune down (economic) protectionism, in particular with military allies.
In my opinion, the #RussianFederation will fracture in 3 bigger parts and several smaller ones. The far eastern parts will be claimed by the #CCP, they've already begun renaming them. This will bode bad news for #Mongolia, as it is the heartland of the #Yuan Dynasty...
China’s Advancing Efforts to Influence the U.S. Election Raise Alarms.
Chinese Trolls Pretend to Be Psycho Magas.
China has adopted some of the same #misinformation tactics that Russia used ahead of the 2016 election, researchers and government officials say.
Covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of criminal defendant Donald, promoting #conspiracy theories, stoking #domestic divisions and attacking President #Biden ahead of the #election in November, according to researchers and government officials.
The accounts signal a potential tactical shift in how Beijing aims to hijack American politics, with more of a willingness to target specific candidates & parties, including Mr. Biden.
In an echo of Russia’s influence campaign before the 2016 election, China is trying to harness partisan divisions to undermine the Biden administration’s policies, despite recent efforts by the two countries to lower the temperature in their relations.
"Covert #Chinese accounts are masquerading online as #American supporters of Donald J. #Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions and attacking President #Biden ahead of the election in November...
But not all similarities were positive ones. Johnny left for #Ukraine after many hard conversations with his family, who were all against The #sunflowermovement “My father always tells me how great #China is, he’s leaning to the red side,” he explained - ‘red’ meaning the #ccp
What I don't get about the whole TikTok spying on Americans argument is that why this is different than what Meta and Google et al does? I mean, can't China (which the accusation is directed at) just buy the data from any of the numerous data brokers anyway?
Norwegian investigative journalists have show how easy it is to piece together detailed info about random individuals from so-called anonymised tracking data you can just buy.
Sure, but I think the fear is the #ccp pushing 💩dirty #disinformation ads a few days before an election directed to users in their zipcode, to like #dontworrybehappy 🥰 and vote #maga
The #tiktokban starts to look bad when it comes to accessing any tech, all the sudden your successful little GitHub repo requires a lawyer with ties to the intelligence community.
They're trying to ruin #RISCV, they already successfully managed to slow China access to the latest semiconductor tech, but YOU could be next if they decide to put you on the same list for not supporting bombing a daycare center.
I don't fear the #CCP, I fear US lawmakers drawing invisible lines for the rest of us.
#China has a long history of human rights violation. HOWEVER, the dictatorial regime under the #CCP is still far better than Judeo-Nazi #Israel. At least the CCP never mass bombed Tibetans or Uyghurs. Tibetans and Uyghurs had their land stolen by the CCP. HOWEVER, Tibetans and Uyghurs still have a country, even though they were forced to become second class citizens. Palestinians were driven to extinction by the evil European Invaders called "Israelis", NOT Israelites.
In recent years, facing a low birth rate and an aging population, the ruling #Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) decided that the solution to the country’s demographic crisis is pushing #women back home to have babies and assume the role of caretakers. Making divorce harder is just one of the party’s strategies.
But women in #China are fiercely fighting back against the government’s plan to strengthen the #patriarchy...
Glad to report that the hashtag #loongyear does not return anything on Mastodon.This means that the #CCP's brainrot has not taken hold of this platform yet. Good, let's keep it that way.
Unsurprisingly #MadElon's platform of trolls and hatred delivers a shitload of posts with the hashtag #loongyear. So much #CCP#propganda on a platform that is blocked in #China, makes you think about a thing or two, right?!
By the way: the connotation of dragons as mean and evil is rooted in Western #mythology and has zero connection to anti-Asian or anti-Chinese hatred. That is utter brainrot.
So feel free to call it the #YearoftheDragon. #fucktheCCP
Comments in support of Taiwan's elections on the Chinese internet, despite harsh censorship, hint at the depth of grievances with the CCP, writes Yaqiu Wang
"Democratic states should take this into account by crafting long-term policies that treat the Chinese people and the CCP as separate entities, and include support for pro-democracy movements in China and the diaspora as a key priority. Democracy in China needs all the help it can get."
Military supplies delivered to Belarus aboard 4 Chinese flights, observers report.
"At the beginning of January, the Belaruski Hajun monitoring group recorded unusual activity by the Chinese cargo airline Air China Cargo at Minsk National Airport. Over a period of four days, the Boeing 747-400F registered B-2476 completed four round-trip flights between Ürümqi (airport code ZWWW) and Minsk (UMMS)...
We have reason to believe that the cargo plane transported military equipment from China to Belarus. The cargo likely bypassed customs clearance and was transshipped out of the airport immediately, as staging the freight in the usual military cargo area would have attracted additional attention with the consignment sitting out in the open."
