Global Times, a major Chinese propaganda tabloid,
The Daily Mail, 🤣
- Pots and kettles eh 🤣

Why use the word "claim" for something that's painfully and obviously true? 🤔

Context: global times is not a "newspaper". It's Chinese nationalist English media. Their proper state run media is much more formal and reserved. For example look at Xinhua.

where's the lie

NGL, I had already learned of collapse and how cooked we were back then, but I thought it was exaggerated and that we had some time to go before things really started to pick up....

Global Times is not China. It’s one news source so statements made by Global Times, especially in the editorials aren’t inherently statements made my China. They are run by individuals who sent the articles in. To claim that China made this statement is ridiculous and would be akin to saying that the US made a statement on something because of a single article NPR ran or that the UK made a statement because of a single article run by the BBC.

Propaganda about the enemy usually doesn’t require altering the truth much. Propaganda about the own state of affairs is a completely different story.
- That's actually not true, with respect to altering the truth. Usually the quantity or quality of a single truth is heavily distorted, or outright fabricated. See Iraq's WMD that never matetialized.
  
  Fair enough. Gotta think about this a little more I guess.

The fucked up CCP fails to remember when Putin's Sock Puppet said, "Xi is great and we love each other."
- Thank you for taking your valuable time away from sniffing glue to write this insightful comment.

So Democrats hate on China, but also rely on them why it suites their messaging? Earlier today Democrats were just upvoting something saying that Elon Musk has close ties with China which is an authoritarian dictatorship. If Democrats were consistent, wouldn't this mean that authoritarians don't like Donald Trump?
- Are the Democrats in the room with us right now?
- Do you think Democrats and Leftists are the same group of people? Where are the Democrats here?
  
  can you show me where the Democrats touched you.
- China states that eating food reduces symptoms of starvation
  WELL I GUESS AS A DEMOCRAT I MUST ABSTAIN FROM ALL FOOD TO PROVE THEM WRONG
- Careful that this giant strawman of yours doesn't catch on fire.
- THE DEMOCRATS, THEY WERE UPVOTING
- Too stupid to understand the difference between criticism and hate. You're one of those idiots that thinks any criticism of America is hate instead of the desire for a more perfect union.

And you are lynching Negroes Not that I'm suggesting they're wrong or I'm defending Trump
- Would be more fallacious if they weren't actually lynching black people tbh
- I like that liberals have decided that criticizing the USA is inherently fallacious.
  
  I didn't even remotely suggested anything like this
- Whataboutism
  
  Of course, "one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone", I'm not a fan of US but also not a fan of PRC
- Two things can be true.
  
  That's what I wrote, but I forgot it's lemmy.ml
