    I don't think this guy gets marching orders from the CPC. He's just a die-hard nationalist. I think Chinese media is actually less closely regulated than American media. Show me a MSM article in US media that debunks state department Uyghur genocide claims. It doesn't exist despite the claim having zero/extremely flimsy evidence.

    even though, admittedly, they are just dogs having no say on what their master wants

    Ehhh... not really. Do you remember the whole Tedros and WHO thing? The current DPP admin tries to find ways to get Taiwan "officially recognized".

      I would assume he’s somehow authorized by someone to speak certain things, but yeah he kind of wrecked the whole thing in a way

      Re: Uyghur genocide, I think there was a point by point debunk article on global times back in 2020. But yeah Chinese media can be WILD when it comes to stuff that isn’t screened

      Re: DPP, yeah, they can do all kinds of cringe shenanigans (#milkteaalliance #taiwancanhelp) but I highly doubt the DPP could say no to any Yank politician, esp when Icecreamfridge was screaming at them demanding a visit.

        He’s the tucker Carlson of China. Lol, many Mainlanders ridicules him for having fantasy prediction like shooting Pelosi plane down. But from the cpc themselves, not much, but with the military exercise, it will certainly change the status quo though.

        Milk Tea is a CIA op.

        Not that many countries can say no. Venezuela, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Belarus. I think that's it. The US told Europe to suffer over Ukraine and they followed orders. Taiwan is stuck between China and the US. China can't be allied with simply because they keep saying they are going to invade Taiwan so it leaves the US as the only choice.

        I'm saying from American media. Even including "leftist" ones.
