The New York Times Is Wrong: China Has No Leverage Over Twitter

April 29, 2022October 9, 2024 Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Everyone has the right to criticize Musk’s purchase of Twitter and the US government can investigate it if they have a legitimate reason to, but none of that has anything to do with China, which should be left out of this controversy.

Propaganda:

Elon Musk’s business ties to China draw scrutiny after Twitter purchase

My commentary: They conveniently omit Musk’s contracts with the US government. Also, I’ve already debunked the Xinjiang issue and the Hong Kong protests weren’t about ‘democracy.’

China offers to help rebuild Tonga after volcanic eruption

January 19, 2022January 19, 2022 Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The tsunami triggered by a massive underwater volcanic eruption off Tonga rarely seen in 30 years has neither caused deaths or injuries of Chinese nationals nor brought disastrous effects to China’s coast so far, but its impacts on the whole Pacific region are being closely watched by China as people worry whether the natural disaster would catastrophically inundate the low-lying Tongan islands and affect the global climate.

Meanwhile, countries around the world are pledging to help the country rebuild. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken posted condolences to the country online. Although the U.S. has promised to aid Tonga, there has been no word on what that aid will entail.
