If it’s true two racially/ethnically targeted shootings this weekend is something :amerikkka:
Dude who did it was from Taiwan but because they need more anti Chinese sentiment hes suddenly Chinese :bean-think:
Chou’s family was among many that were apparently forcibly removed from China to Taiwan sometime after 1948... Chou’s hatred toward the island... seems like it began when he felt he wasn’t treated well while living there.
Clearly this is all china's fault :some-controversy:
lmao, American authorities being fascists again, with help from their stenographers at AP.
They don't consider Ashkenazim white and if the hogs get their way they probably will turn against Eastern Europeans and Irish next.
Tying China in to this is pretty dark, even for American news. Guy had nothing whatsoever to do with the PRC but they had to say repeatedly that "China has not ruled out conquering Taiwan" twice. Why not just throw up some caricatures of Xi while you're at it.
It's a new era of depravity in propaganda.
We have mass shootings in our country? Frame them in a way that advances Imperialism rather than even attempt to fix the problem.
Chou’s family apparently was among many forcibly removed from China to Taiwan sometime after 1948, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said. Chou’s hatred toward the island, documented in hand-written notes that authorities found, seems like it began when he felt he wasn’t treated well while living there.
After the KMT was routed from the mainland, dude was grazed by Kai-Shek's Taiwanese "White Terror". Then he move to the United States and become a landlord. His wife left him, he got in a fight with a tenant, and then he lashed out at a random Taiwanese church in a wealthy community on the other side of the California/Nevada border.
Sounds like an insidious plot by the CCP to me.
Seems like the narrative is that Chinese propaganda is brainwashing the masses and more should be done to counter it. Funny thing is that Chinese propaganda is often pretty bad compared to Western propaganda.
That Texas bell tower shooter from like forty or fifty years ago had a brain tumor.

Guy apparently tried to get psych help months before the shooting but no dice.
This article is bordering on if not explicitly hate speech towards mainland Chinese people. This article really wants you to think that China was involved with this attack. I'm legit really fucking mad about this. This is an article about a hate crime written in such a way to encourage more hate crimes.
Yeah, this is genuinely fucking insane. You can really feel the vibe of the same news association that agreed to act as Nazi propagandists.
Oh fuck no
Edit: out with you, get the fuck out, you're even less welcome than fascists
It was this annoying thing that EmmaGoldman posted about
I feel like when spammers run rampant it's a sign of a dead forum, and hexbear ain't dead homie
Here we go. I always thought they’d find some way of blaming the Chinese for anti-Asian hate. Soon supporting China will become a hate crime. Bravo, bravo indeed.
Sorry sweetie, not supporting the internment camps is a hate crime
A gunman in a deadly attack at a Southern California church was a Chinese immigrant motivated by hate for Taiwanese people
ok, can't see this being beaten to death by the hogs
Chou’s family was among many that were apparently forcibly removed from China to Taiwan sometime after 1948...Chou’s hatred toward the island...seems like it began when he felt he wasn’t treated well while living there.
wait so he's...Taiwanese? Or am I meant to believe this guy had grievances with indigenous Taiwanese people?
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but did China forcibly remove people and send them to Taiwan? I was under the impression they all fled there
Yes, this is my understanding as well. Anecdotally, the tensions between the two Han groups were indeed pretty bad, especially among older generations (i.e. the membership of this church from what little I've read), as a lot of anti-KMT sentiment also got redirected toward the first group. But of course it has nothing to do with the PRC and the western framing on this is both predictable and gross.
Literally all parties involved are Taiwanese.
Is this the infamous politicized shooting I have heard so much about in the past?
Literally where are the writers and the sheriff getting all this stuff about his motivation from? And Could they have mystified this guy's background any more? I'm still not really sure if he's from mainland China or Taiwan, but it's definitely odious how they threw in all of those geopolitical details that are in all likelihood completely irrelevant to the crime.
It really does boarder on blood libel type shit. You don't get situations where white hate crimes delve deep into the history of settler colonialism and racial violence in the service of empire, but apparently a depressed 60 year old is possibly an agent of the Chinese state because he's Taiwanese?
Literally where are the writers and the sheriff
is what I want to know :picard-direct-action:
The article even says the shooter's family left China for Taiwan "sometime after 1948" (gee, I wonder why). The "Chinese-born" shooter was literally a kid when he last lived in a war-torn China and spent the majority his life in Taiwan and the US.
Furthermore, the Chinese Embassy has already condemned the attack and sent condolences to the families of the victims. Anyone who tries tying this to Taiwan strait relations is insane.
Chou’s family was among many that were apparently forcibly removed from China to Taiwan sometime after 1948…Chou’s hatred toward the island…seems like it began when he felt he wasn’t treated well while living there.
He's from Taiwan/The ROC. This has nothing to do with the PRC, and it's extremely disgusting that the AP is trying to imply that it does.
American news papers trying to stir racial animus towards the designated enemy? Say it ain't so!
Is it too on the nose to call it "Yellow Journalism" if it's directed at Asian people?
My Taiwanese history knowledge isn't the best, but as far as I know only the ROC moved people to Taiwan, so the PRC truly couldn't have had anything at all to do with this. I don't recall if the ROC moved anyone forcefully. My guess is the AP are just playing with words to suit their political agenda.
He's 68 and they moved after 1948. There was essentially no migration between the mainland and Taiwan until relatively recently. It's practically impossible for him to have been born on the mainland, so he's Chinese-born in the sense that Taiwan is part of China, but not in the way that the AP are dishonestly implying.
Reactionary Anti-China organizations like Falun Gong are already using this as an opportunity to attack China by insinuating the gunman was influenced by or even working for the CPC.
My condolences to the victims but it's just absolutely disgusting how this isolated event is being used to promote more racism and xenophobia.
