Same with that whole tennis player bullshit
Came here to say this. Wait until they find out about trafficking in the United States!
my older bro worked at a hotel that was clearly a hub for human trafficking/something far more sinister
one time some southeast asian guy from like laos or cambodia (:pol-pot) came in with a SHITLOAD of people who could not speak any English, nor could he and what wound up happening is that this dude was trying to get a room but couldn't really be understood so he just started throwing money down on the counter while growing increasingly agitated
this is in like Norman Rockwell USA so not even a seedy town lol
also my mom worked at the same hotel for a little while and is turns out every maid and sanitation worker there (except my mom, who is mentally ill and insists on only working jobs for illegals despite being a US citizen for over a decade now) is an illegal immigrant
saw the save trafficked women in china thing
like i dont even understand what it means. im sure the cpc is always doing that!
edit: the picture is from this (cw: hong kong newspaper) https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3168928/china-launches-campaign-stem-trafficking-women-and-children
apparently this happening caused the cpc to ramp up detections and western media are like '1 million police entering 10 thousand homes cpc evil!' even though theyre doing what the redditoids are asking. they even round up the offenders and have them be publicly shamed and shit on top of the criminal indictments, which according to the cpc's statistics is more effective than longer prison sentences
theyre either doing too little and failing or too much and are evil authoritarians
no in between. happens on every issue. every outlet follows the same mantra.
During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence.
If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative.
If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom.
A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.
If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained.
What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Its my duty to save the chinese ladies because I'm the main character
Ignoring the racist (and just bad) art for a moment, if I try to look at this as comic panels I see it as Xi looking at the message "Save trafficked women in china" and thinking "This is myduty!!".
You can safely sit out this one. It was mostly gamer culture last year, this year it's racism and countries.
They turned the American Flag into pepe the frog, then the China flag took over the spot, probably the only interesting thing that happened.
The one to the left is also some weird inter Chinese anti-cpc propaganda. It's all very cringe, and they keep such a tight grip on those pictures, though it has been fun turning "it's my duty!" into "It's my butt!"
