How China controls the narrative. Manager of Rockets NBA team in the US posted a comment supporting the Hong Kong protestors. In retaliation, Chinese TV cancelled NBA broadcast, forced manager to delete comment and NBA to issue apology.

@narendramodi In contrast, when someone slams India, it asks, how much more should I bend. Even outright India-haters like Audrey get visas. India exercises zero power and zero control and is everyone's favorite whipping boy.
@narendramodi China—"Any remarks that challenge national sovereignty and social stability are outside the category of free speech."

Chinese 100%ers in India decry "nationalism." But their master is stridently nationalist. So is US. Indian sepoys attack Indian nationalism on behest of these.
@narendramodi This is the extent to which China exercises control over MNCs. Here, everyone and his uncle slams India over Kashmir.

#FakeNews. Africa was largely converted in the last 50 years. No “caste.”

Jati ties are the biggest barrier *against* conversion. The 7th Day Adventists mass converted in Andhra because they *kept* jati ties.

If “caste” were the barrier you think seculars would attack it 24x7?
Everything that we’ve have been taught is false. We weren’t defeated because of “caste.” Conversions are not due to “caste.”

And there is no “caste system.”

Jatis have been our strength.

Varna is the most egalitarian system anywhere in the ancient world.
In fact, in many places more “upper castes” have converted. All the Catholic Church hierarchy in India is “upper caste.”

Many “untouchables” wanted equity but did not want to leave their traditions for it. Many are big Rama Bhakts.

Some wolves were let loose among a pack of deer. They hunted in a pack as habitual predators, and started killing off the deer, picking on the young and vulnerable first.

The deer appealed to the State for protection. State said wolves are a minority, *they* will be protected.
But but said the deer, it is we who need protection. We do not interfere with the wolves, we leave them alone, but they don't. But the State was unmoved. All species are equal, and minorities need protection.

Losing numbers, the deer decided to band together for protection.
There was a tribe of bards, the narrative builders. They had power to influence the State. The deer appealed to them for help.

But the bards had become corrupted. The wolves offered them a share of their deer kill.

Fascists said the bards, the deer are majoritarian fascists.

Does @IndianExpress have any idea how many poor farmers have been killed by cattle rustlers—many more than their fake "lynchings."

"Seculars" have spun cattle-theft related issues as communal. They're either deliberately ignorant or in bed with cattle stealing mafia. @swati_gs
@IndianExpress @swati_gs If there is a communal issue around "cattle lynching", it is this. Why are cattle thieves overwhelmingly Muslim and why do they specifically target, kill and steal from Hindu farmers?

They’re so terrified of being called “communal” they’d rather let Hindu cow owners die than protect them from the mafia.

#HonKong Thread: Hong Kong protesters abandoned Facebook for other platforms - "Facebook is not a useful tool for the movement except for those celebrities and parties, on which they make announcements and deliver statements." euronews.com/2019/07/12/hon…
The 2014 Hong Kong generation was dependent on Facebook. Now, "most young people don't use Facebook anymore & turned to Snapchat or Instagram." At the core of the issue is Facebook's algorithm, which prioritizes posts triggering an intense debate in the comments.
"In 2014, Facebook amplified the disagreements between the various "school of thoughts". EconReporter wrote. "In 2014, the movement had no experience and leaders did not know how to handle it and promote democratic decisions within it," Han Mei said.

Thread of 3 Articles: Does #China have enough #US dollars to survive the US #tradewar? - China’s US$3.1 trillion in foreign exchange reserves may not be sufficient to support a crisis in the economy, analysts say scmp.com/economy/china-…
This is the first article in a three-part series looking at China’s US dollar shortage risks amid the trade war with the United States as it plans to reform and internationalise its economy.
Beijing’s increasing scrutiny of US dollar usage by Chinese companies & individuals, in the absence of any signs of a financial crisis, + accelerating efforts to lure in foreign capital, have raised suspicions that the China's economy is worried about running short of US dollars.

Calls for strikes & protests for June 12th in #HongKong. That's when the extradition bill is scheduled for a second reading. Carrie Lam, the HK head of government is under pressure to resign. She is doing the bidding of #China's #CCP government.
HK leader Carrie Lam says the extradition bill was not proposed by Beijing. "We are doing it," she says. Not true. She is China's stooge in H.K. Why HK people elected these leaders? It's because China has veto power over the candidates. Only pro #China candidates can run.
#HongKong leader defiant as city gears up for fresh protests, strikes - Carrie Lam vowed on Tuesday to push ahead with the bill tuoitrenews.vn/news/internati…
