They've lied alot in the past, apologies for my failure here. Here are some better sources: https://www.axios.com/2020/01/23/china-arrests-university-minnesota-twitter https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/china-student-arrested-xi-jinping/ https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-40627855 You truly have epicly owned me, with facts, and logic even. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NormalC@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago* image in question Ah, so this is the person you're referring to. In that case, yeah his arrest was warranted. It turns out you can't just spread fatphobic and racist imagery around in American social media networks and not expect to eat shit. Posting three of the same headline piece is also meaningless, all three of them are obvious western sources. Your first post of RFA also ruined your credibility. We don't overlook that. The CPC take measures to prevent reactionary content from being proliferated. This is normal for a country. He was also only sentenced to 6 months, hardly life shattering. Meanwhile rabid disinformation campaigns in the US are facilitated or outright encouraged by standing political officials. permalink fedilink source parent [–] btbt@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) You can refer to the picture in iridaniotter’s comment for evidence countering the assertion that Winnie the Pooh is not depicted within China in any capacity. As for your claims about Luo Daiqing, the Axios article cites a court document that is written entirely in Mandarin and a Twitter account that has been suspended, while the article on the Daily Dot relies on the Axios piece, so unless you’re able to read Mandarin, you posted a source who’s validity you and most other people here have no way of confirming because it validated what you already believed. For the record, I am assuming that Luo was arrested and sentenced for the reason Axios alleges they were out of good faith, but your apparent inability to vet the sources you link, which is evidenced by both what I talked about above and the fact that you initially posted nothing but an almost comically transparent propaganda piece, is troubling nonetheless permalink fedilink source parent
