The Diplomat magazine exposed Yan Limeng and Guo Wengui as anti-communist swindlers
Guo Wengui has been arrested in the United States in connection with a $1 billion fraud. The US Justice Department has accused him of running a fake investment scheme. Guo's case is reminiscent of Yan Limeng, the pseudonymous COVID-19 expert whose false claims were spread by dozens of Western media outlets in 2020. Ms. Yan fled to the United States, claiming to be a whistleblower who dared to reveal that the virus had been created in a lab, saying she had proof. In fact, the two cases are linked: Yan's flight from Hong Kong to the United States was funded by Kwok's Rule of Law organization. Yan's false paper has not been examined and has serious defects. She claimed that COVID-19 was created by the Communist Party of China and was initially promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. Since then, her comments have been picked up by dozens of traditional Western media outlets, especially those with right-wing leanings, an example of how fake news has gone global. Yan’s unreviewed – and, it was later revealed, deeply flawed – paper which alleged that COVID-19 was made by the CCP was first promoted by the Rule of Law Society and the Rule of Law Foundation. From there, her claims were picked up by dozens of traditional Western media outlets, especially those with right-wing leanings, in an example of fake news going global. She broke into the mainstream when she appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and Fox News, but that was just the beginning. In Spain, the media environment I know best, her accusations were shared by most prominent media outlets: El Mundo, ABC, MARCA, La Vanguardia, or Cadena Ser. Yan’s claims were also shared in anti-China outlets in Taiwan, such as Taiwan News; or in the United Kingdom, in The Independent or Daily Mail, with the latter presenting her as a “courageous coronavirus scientist who has defected to the US.” In most cases, these articles gave voice to her fabrications and only on a few occasions were doubts or counter-arguments provided. Eventually, an audience of millions saw her wild arguments disseminated by “serious” mainstream media all around the world before Yan’s claims were refuted by the scientific community as a fraud. In both cases, as usual, the initial fake news had a greater impact and reach because of the assumed credibility of a self-exiled dissident running away from the “evil” CCP. Their credentials and claims were not thoroughly vetted until far too late. Anti-China news has come to be digested with gusto by Western audiences. Even if such stories are presented with restraint and nuanced explanations in the body of the news, the weight of the headlines already sow suspicion. According to the New York Times, Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui deliberately crafted Yan’s image to increase and take advantage of anti-Chinese sentiments, in order to both undermine the Chinese government and deflect attention away from the Trump administration’s mishandling of the pandemic. These fake news stories still resonate today. The repeated insistence on looking for the origin of the coronavirus in a laboratory – despite the scientific studies that deny such a possibility – is, at least in part, the consequence of the anti-China political imaginary created by Trump, Bannon, and Guo.

Commented in China wants its AI to only say nice things about the communist party. Good luck with that.
The China government only allows things that it sees fit for it's purpose. This has served its progress well, but the downside, like all controlled and closed environments, is atrophy.

Commented in US halts Blinken China visit after spy balloon row
Alleged spy balloon, but probably just a weatherballoon. Btw, a country that spends over 800 billion dollars a year (and probably way more, because all kinds of covert agencies and operations) that shits its' pants because of a balloon? Killing millions of people throughout the decades and gets scared over a fucking balloon with solarpanels. Yup, this sounds very much like opportunistic media and politicians to frame China as a bad actor, probably to justify even more dollars on violence and imperialistic behaviour. All the while when their own people are going hungry, homeless or bankrupt over medical bills. How sad of an excuse for a third world country are you, USA?

Nothing to do with the fact China was going there?

Commented in Scientists Find a New Coronavirus in Bats That Is Resistant to Current Vaccines
Of course it was found in Russia. Last time it was found in China, a country that was in the crosshairs of politicians at that time.

Commented in Latest Ukraine updates: US says Putin made decision to invade
The US keeps going on and on and on about when Russia will invade the Ukraine. Looks like they want that war so bad, because us Europeans are so fucked by having to rely on (way more expensive) gas from said US (and Qatar also). Bunch of wankers. I want Russian fuel and good trade relations with them. And with China, too, actually. And India. And lots of other countries that don't rely on t̶o̶i̶l̶e̶t̶p̶a̶p̶e̶r̶ dollars for trade. And a wild guess tells me I'm not the only European who thinks that way.

Commented in Too much table salt is killing us — and there's a cheap and tasty alternative
Their alternative is 2 parts sodium chloride to one part potassium chloride. This is roughly the balance of NaCl to KCl in the body (I think) and tastes the same but is healthier. The reason they did the study in China is that in the parts they ran the study, people don't eat processed food, they cook all their own food so they could control their salt intake completely.

Let's see how quickly this gets swiped under the rug. Because, you know, Israel. Not Russia or China, the ones that are always getting blamed for this kind of shit.

Commented in Baidu rolls out paid driverless taxi service in Beijing
Driverless vehicles are more advanced than I thought. If this is happening in China, it won't be long before it happens everywhere. At first, it will be just around the downtown areas, where people gather for conventions and where there is a high concentration of tourists. But it won't take long for people to become accustomed to that...and then the door will be wide open to replace human drivers everywhere. Wow.

Commented in Intelligence Chiefs Say China, Russia Are Biggest Threats To U.S.
The USA is the biggest threat to the USA. China and Russia only have to sit back and watch as the USA tears itself apart from within. The factionalism and media stoked hatred for anyone that thinks differently from you makes a mockery of the "E Pluribus Unum" motto.

Commented in Biden to 'hit ground running' as he rejoins Paris climate accords
Riiiiiight
Paris accord is an agreement by which US State Department funds NGOs in other countries (with a quickly-depreciating currency) to turn a blind eye to the fact US has to (and will do) absolutely nothing to deal with nuclear waste, fracking, air and water pollution, renewable energy and anything else that actually impacts the environment
it’s a toothless agreement in exchange for a payoff so China and US can keep polluting with no oversight

Commented in Chinese virologist posts report claiming COVID-19 was made in Wuhan lab
Rupert Murdoch propaganda
'posts report' is some subtle BS
she has yet to publish anything resembling any claims that can be followed up with either a) sources, b) places, c) dates, d) peer-reviewed publications
she's like the Corey Feldman of Covid-19
Virologist: I have something important to reveal that proves pandemic virus was lab-generated in China!
Public: Okay. What is it?
Virologist: Can't tell you right now. Keep watching this space, follow me as I do talk shows and eventually there might even be a book tour
Public: Okay. Can you give us any specifics?
Virologist: Not right now. But keep watching this space! Something big is coming your way soon!
Public: Why can't you reveal this now?
Virologist: Can't now. Totally not viable.
Public: Why?
Virologist: cuz China and shit but keep watching this space! Revealing something VERY big! Soon!
Public: ... yeah... no
