CCTV FOLLIES: 10/11 Xinwenlianbo
-China is now an ecological paradise (under Xi's expert guidance)
-China must persevere with Zero-Covid policy
-Cambodia should follow China
-Russia: bombs away over Ukraine
-But it's all the fault of US fueling the fire and fanning the flames.
Unpopular Zero-Covid policy gonna be around for a while due to Xi Jinping's influence and his expert opinion.
Cambodia sings praise of China.
We want to be just like the Chinese Reds!
Last time around, emulation of CCP led to the rise of Pol Pot and the genocidal Khmer Rouge.
China was a faithful ally, their only ally.
And over to you, Igor Konashenkov, in the Russian Defense Ministry.
What's happening in Ukraine?
-Cruise missiles launched from Black Sea
-Bombs all over.
Fighter jets doing what exactly? Is this file footage?
Ukraine gets 20 seconds air-time to show its pain.
Buildings burn in Zaporizhzhia
But it still doesn't merit a map with fixed borders.
The longest news section pertaining to Ukraine covers familiar ground to loyal CCTV viewers:
US fans the flames of conflict with its weapon shipments!
This section is so lengthy today it pre-empts the usual "Europe is suffering from US sanctions on Russia" section. (illustrated with gas burners and thermostats)
I feel sorry for the CCTV editors who have to fluff this boring piece out with recycled stock footage. They've used these shots dozens of times before.
And the obligatory "bad news from a bad country"
-US Covid is through the roof, flu cases on the rise.
