        Chen Weihua has 3 more transformations to go before his final form, but the liberals can't even get past form 1.

      It is made by a private Chinese conservative nationalist media, called Guancha. The founder was a U.S. citizen before accepting Chinese citizenship in 2020.

      • The show: 答案 Key https://www.guancha.cn/politics/2024_01_20_722857.shtml
      • The network: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guancha
      • The founder: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_X._Li

      BTW, the network also criticised twitter's suspension of Trump's account, along with Chinese state controlled outlet.

      The comments were solicited by Guancha.com, a nationalistic news site, which created the hashtag #BigUSappsunitedtosilenceTrump# on Weibo. They were echoed by Global Times, a tabloid controlled by the Communist Party.

      Mr. Trump “lost his right as an ordinary American citizen,” it wrote in an editorial. “This, of course, goes against the freedom of speech the U.S. political elites have been advocating.”

      The weibo topic mentioned in the above article, created by guancha, with several several state media also only reporting the dissent to Trump's ban: https://m.weibo.cn/search?containerid=231522type%3D1%26t%3D10%26q%3D%23%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BD%E5%90%84%E5%A4%A7%E8%BD%AF%E4%BB%B6%E8%81%94%E5%90%88%E5%B0%81%E6%9D%80%E7%89%B9%E6%9C%97%E6%99%AE%23&extparam=%23%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BD%E5%90%84%E5%A4%A7%E8%BD%AF%E4%BB%B6%E8%81%94%E5%90%88%E5%B0%81%E6%9D%80%E7%89%B9%E6%9C%97%E6%99%AE%23&luicode=20000061&lfid=4591915216945258


      Of course, this is not the first time China/Russian state and nationalist media that have sided with American conservative.

      Xinwen lianbo, a Chinese state produced flagship news show, and arguably the most wide-spread news show in China, quoted the conspiracy theory of Tucker Carlson: https://old.reddit.com/r/China_irl/comments/tpr79x/tucker_carlson_%E4%B8%8A%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB%E8%81%94%E6%92%AD%E4%BB%80%E4%B9%88%E6%84%9F%E8%A7%89/

    The Virgin NAFO Bootlickers vs The Chad People's Liberation Army Posting Corps rivalry is going to be the most one sided battle since the Washington Generals decided to challenge the Harlem Globetrotters
