If it’s true two racially/ethnically targeted shootings this weekend is something :amerikkka:

    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.
