“Chinese media blast US move on Taiwan” January 11, 2021
This article reported that Chinese state media lashed out at the latest move on Taiwan (Formerly Formosa). Need we forget the Second World War and our history with mainland communist China? China’s controlled state media referred to America’s actions as “A cowardly act of sabotage” and “maliciously inflicting long lasting scar on China-US ties.”
Really? Let’s forget China’s intrusion into the South China Sea with new manmade island sea and military bases, or China’s refusal to let the World Health Organization into Wuhan, or their stealing proprietary secrets from American companies, or their many human rights violations, or their pollution of the air and refusal to address it.
We bury that article on page 13A and applaud and encourage our own China based media for cancelling our “Freedom of Speech”. I do not tweet, but when we praise the cancelling of the president’s tweets, or Giuliani’s podcast video, we are encouraging a China style of state controlled Freedom of Speech.
China is no less dangerous than the loss of “Freedom of Speech”. Maybe it is time to review our whole form of government and the news media that controls it!
