On December 17, Reuters reported that Amazon CN (China's Amazon domain) was forced to disable the reviews on Xi Jinping's 'The Governance of China', citing 2 anonymous sources.

:reddit-logo: interpreted the article to say that China has forced American Amazon to delete any reviews of the book that are less than 5 stars, only keeping the 5 star reviews.

Since the publication of the article, there have been dozens of fake 1 star reviews posted on 'The Governance of China' on American Amazon.

Anti China :reddit-logo: slacktivism is brutally cringe. Remember when they were all trying to portray Mei from Overwatch as an HK supporting reactionary? :cringe:
Most internet activism is pure cringe. Honestly don't think the Mei thing would have happened if not for Blizzard absolutely panicking and punishing that dweeb at the Heathstone Tournament. Don't even know if Blizzard would have been punished by China for allowing him to announce his support for the protests.
Yeah, it did seem like a bit of a knee-jerk thing on Blizzard's part. At least it led to the hilarity of a bunch of nerds deleting their Blizzard accounts and then immediately regretting it :data-laughing:
I think that guy explicitly broke Blizzard's 'no politics' rule to martyr himself.
Also one of their largest markets is the Chinese market and it turns out a lot of mainland Chinese people actually agree with the government positions and upsetting them would lose Blizzard way more users than upsetting a few terminally online Americans with zero political or historical literacy.
Yep, zero threat to just paneer to the Chinese users. This thing that they blame on the communist party is actually just Blizzard being capitalist lol
Breaking: Xi Jinping has announced he is stepping down and dissolving China's government in the wake of extreme review bombings on Amazon.com. Democratic elections are expected to take place in the coming weeks
It's all just templated garbage written by a state approved ghost writing company. Literally nothing of value in any American political writing.
They actually just buy them all up immediately and distribute them to Goodwills and used bookstores.
At least that's what all the Fox hosts do. The bestseller list is literally just based on orders for the book from the publisher, and Fox will spend millions to buy them all up and give them out for free to make sure that poor people are always seeing their fucking faces and might actually buy and read their reactionary garbage.
I just assumed Amazon CN disabled reviews due to review bombing in the first place.
Who has digital copy of this book? I want to read it.
