These bizarrely terrifying videos keep surfacing on Twitter every few days, but the first one I saw was just people resting in a hospital hallway and not actually dead bodies... these definitely look like bodies, but who knows, maybe it's just sacks of pillows or tarp or something.

the whole video is kinda weird, he wanders in, perfectly timed just as the doctors pronounce that dude dead, loudly pronouncing everything he sees, but everything looks real. hosed up

They're the most selfish, impatient, destructive, and wasteful things on this Earth. The worst example I witnessed was a horde of them trampling a bunch of toddlers because they were in a rush to get some samples. "What were these coveted samples" you might ask?

Children's books.

A bookstore in Shenyang was giving out one per child and the old ladies rushed the table they set up in front of the store, sending the several small children that were lined up waiting to the wind. It looked like a dozen people each threw a bowling ball down the lane at the same time.

Worst example I heard about was a food bank in the US giving out big bags of food, and naturally the bored Chinese grannies dominated the queue. They were so shameless that they were throwing the goods they didn't like in a trash can just a few feet away. The video used to be on YouTube, but I can't find it anymore.

What Ive noticed about the domestic narrative has been this shift to 'China is going to save the world we are the most prepared only we can help every other country we're so kind we're even sending our doctors to other countries.' which is, whatever.

If the party keeps pushing insane aggressive poo poo in their foreign facing media and China as the worlds savior in their domestic media they can pretty easily make it look like the world is bullying China even when they do something good if other countries give them poo poo for it. You know, like Chinese media does all the time. I honestly think they know exactly how the conspiracy theory type message will be received outside China and how nuts it is, but that that's the point.

Countermeasures taken against United States media outlets are legitimate and justified self-defense that Beijing is compelled to take in response to Washington's unreasonable oppression of Chinese media organizations, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Wednesday.

"They are entirely necessary and reciprocal. We urge the US side to immediately correct its mistakes. Otherwise, it will be the US side who suffers greater loss," he said, adding that China has all the options on the table.

In countermeasures announced by the ministry early on Wednesday, it demanded that US journalists working with The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post whose press credentials are due to expire before the end of 2020 notify the ministry's information department within four days and hand back their press cards within 10 days.

It also demanded the branches in China of the three newspapers as well as the Voice of America and Time magazine provide information about their staff, finances, operations and real estate in China.

The ministry said the measures are in response to the US decision this month to reduce by 40 percent the number of Chinese nationals working for five Chinese media outlets in the US, which were designated "foreign missions" by the US State Department in February.

"If any US media outlet has any complaints over China's countermeasures, they can bring it forward to the US government," Geng said.

When asked whether the journalists have to leave China immediately after 10 days, Geng said that unlike what the US has done with Chinese journalists, China will deal with the issue in a more considerate and humanitarian way given the current epidemic situation.

"China's fundamental State policy of opening-up has not changed and will not change," Geng said, adding that foreign media outlets and journalists who cover stories in accordance with laws and regulations are always welcome in China and will get continued assistance from Beijing.

"What we reject is ideological bias against China, fake news made in the name of press freedom and breaches of ethics in journalism."

Li Haidong, a professor of US studies at China Foreign Affairs University, said China's decision is normal behavior in the spirit of diplomatic reciprocity. "China is trying to remind the US of its unjustified conduct and urge it to make corrections so that the media exchanges between the two countries can be smooth and normal," Li said. He said China would not want to see barriers set up to the media of the two countries but has been forced to take measures to guarantee its own dignity and interests.

Shen Yi, a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, told the Global Times that amity in a relationship can only be established on the basis of equality instead of unilateral tolerance. If the US breaks the normal rules of playing the game, China has to play it according to the US rules, he said.

Li said China holds an open attitude toward exchanges with the US and there is huge space for bilateral exchanges in various fields, including media. "It is critical that the two sides do their utmost to create conditions for strengthening communications and facilitating bilateral cooperation," he said.

Whilst it is important that China/the CCP covered up the COVID-19 virus, (be it for 3 weeks or 3 months, they intentionally withheld information from the public allowing a highly infectious disease to spread globally.), I think it is equally as important the reasons why they covered it up.

They covered it up because they couldn't be arsed to do anything about it and hoped it would go away on it's own.

They covered it up because bullshit tinpot middle management lower level officials were scared of looking weak/incompetent in the eyes of their superiors, so they actively put lives at risk and threatened those who were trying to help.

They covered it up because those superiors, and the Party has built a culture where looking like you are doing your job, and submitting numbers that look like you are doing your job is a much higher priority than actually doing your job. Resulting in admin officials threatening doctors over the doctor reporting medical findings.

They covered it up for the same reason they are now trying to deflect blame. Because the paper thin facade of "China No.1! Everything we do is good, and nothing we do is bad, even those things we are provably dong bad and wrong are good because someone else once did something bad generations ago" is more important that helping to save lives.

Washington Post posted:

An outspoken Beijing property tycoon who wrote an essay blaming Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party’s “crisis of governance” for the coronavirus outbreak has been placed under investigation, party authorities announced late Tuesday in their latest move to silence and punish voices critical of their response to the epidemic.

Ren Zhiqiang, nicknamed “Big Cannon Ren” for his barrage of critical commentary on Chinese politics and finance, wrote in a widely distributed essay in February that the outbreak in Wuhan was caused by a sclerotic party culture that prized propaganda and flattery toward Xi but silenced free speech.

Ren capped his essay by comparing Xi to “a clown who had no clothes but was still determined to be emperor.”


A real estate mogul and Communist Party member who was raised in a distinguished party family in Beijing, Ren has long been seen as enjoying a relative degree of protection because of his personal ties to top figures including Vice President Wang Qishan.

But the formal investigation against him — which is likely to conclude with a prison term — showed the party’s determination to silence critical voices, elite and common alike, at a historically sensitive juncture. Ren disappeared a month ago and is believed to be detained in west Beijing, his friends say.

Today I saw on TV here in Korea a white women with layers and layers of skin whitening on.

I know another foreigner, she's been here only two years, and I saw her profile picture for the first time yesterday and she's also got just the thickest whitening stuff all over her face. It's so - I don't even know. It just seems weird. I wonder how much of it is trying to fit in, and how much of it is actually appreciating the look.

When I was in Japan, a friend of mine did the geisha dress up thing with what amounted to basically solid white paint on her face, and it's so tremendously unsettling-looking.

The funniest thing though is when you see body builders with their dark muscle oil on, and then this solid line where their face begins which is starkly whitened.

I think they should bring back teeth blackening.

White skin, brown hair, and black teeth - the whole rainbow! 🌈
