The full story of the martyr of the freedom of speech

I did some further investigation into the Adrian Zenz' allegation of the Chinese student receiving six months' prison sentence for exercising freedom of speech. I deleted my original tweet because Ms. BAE did provide me
2/ with a valid link to the court judgement.

As per the link provided above, I was able to read the full court judgement. I invited the author of the news article to do a full translation, but she said translation is not her job and invited me to do it if I so wished.
3/ I hereby give a brief description of the case. Mr. Luo was charged with incitement of public disorder, libel, unfounded personal attack, personal debasement, account hacking, subterfuge of identity etc. What happened was that in a telegraph group,
4/ another boy Mr Ma was attacked by everyone for unknown reasons. Luo wanted to revenge on behalf of the group and decided to hack Mr Ma's account and expose him to some trouble. Luo became Ma on Twitter and published numerous tweets with cartoons defined as "disinformation,
5/personal attack debasement libel etc of government leaders". Luo also did the same with two other accounts he created. Twitter having quite a following via VPN In China, these tweets created a huge public uproar, receiving a lot of publicity & numerous comments etc. In China,
6/unfounded personal attack and debasement is forbidden, towards an individual and especially towards a government leader. There were altogether 40s such questionable tweets. Luo has deleted them since. How bad they are and how compromising they are to the personal
7/reputation and prestige of Xi Jinping, I am unable to ascertain here. However Luo and his lawyer didn't contest the conclusion of the prosecution and didn't appeal the sentence.
8/ Please note these are not democratic criticism of Mr Xi Jinping's policies but rather "personal insults and debasement" possibly motivated by personal vengeance towards Mr. Ma. Knowing personal debasement/attack of a government leader is a
9/ delinquency In China, Luo did this to purposefully give trouble to Mr. Ma who happened to be a professional cartoonist. Seeing the cartoons, everyone was convinced that Ma was the author of the tweets. He was harassed, insulted and attacked.
10/ Not sure if he sued Mr. Luo or if he filed a request for police investigation. Anyway, he was a party of the court case and gave testimony of the personal harm he suffered.

I could very easily imagine the nature of the tweets of the troublemaker LUO. One handles of Luo's
11/ Twitter accounts is FEET WASHING BASIN. So the Western media has exalted the FEET WASHING BASIN
into a martyr of freedom of speech. Other than smelling the stench of the feet... I don't see anything else.

All In all, Luo was sentenced to 6 months' prison for the above.
12/ It would be better if the Western journalists could give a more complete account of what really happened.

It's more comical than lofty. Don't forget part of Luo's punishment is for personal harm caused.
13/Great is the power of citizen investigation. Further to my above thread, I received following information. All the three accounts which Luo used on Twitter are usurped. Either they all belong to Ma or someone else of a group of subculture, group called "Erotic Dream"
14/ Or "Silver Dream l" This sub culture is China's Internet mob culture emulating Japanese Internet mob culture.

It's known to publish nasty vicious vulgar aggressive content on the internet with a view to shock and create turmoil and is closely minitored by the police.
15/ Mr. Ma belonged to such group of Internet violence which is subject to mob rule. He offended his group and was declared Internet death by his group the first step of which is stripping bare his personal and account information. Luo also belonged to such a group.
16/ Obeying mob harassment logic, he usurped the disgraced members' accounts and began to tweet in their name in the same vein when studying abroad. Being nasty is their nature, he offended a lot of people, including the pro-democracy activists who also exposed his personal
17/ Information online as a form of harassment. So he was monitored by the police and the pro-democracy activists. The police traced the vicious contents down to the original account holders who then denied being the authors. The police investigated and was able to identify him.
18/ The objective of this subculture group is to defy authority and publish violent malicious content to arouse public turmoil.

I asked this person if he could give me an example of the malicious content posted to insult Xi Jinping. Well, I was shown a cartoon which is
19/disgusting which I will not post here. Luo largely deserved his sentence.

Well, our martyr of the freedom of speech turns out to be an apprentice Internet mob member.

No wonder social media are so violent. Stop the bully and harassment.

The Western bloc didn't win the cold war. The Soviet bloc collapsed of its own accord because of 1/sclerosis of its economy, unable to provide the standard of living of the West 2/economic isolation 3/export of its ideology 4/arms race. China learnt the lessons. China didn't
2/ Listen to West like USSR and embraced the suicidal shock therapy. China effected a sustainable transition from USSR style economy to the current hybrid economy. China is not bound by ideological fanaticism. It did what needs to be done in consideration of all factors paying
3/ Tribute to all systems.
WEST are the victims of their own cold war propaganda which didn't strike the ex-Soviet dead but is likely to strike itself dead now. They're obsessed with human rights abuses in China, and by dint of repetition, come to believe China would collapse

Breaking: Case study of scandalous lack of journalistic integrity.

More subterfuge discovered in the Minnesota student freedom of speech violation story. The tweet cited in Ms. BAE's article alleged to be the object of the six months' prison sentence is irrelevant,
2/ not targeted in the court judgement! In the judgement, Mr. Luo the culprit acknowledged to have created (usurped) three accounts in Chinese called Mian Qing (绵青), Maxx(马某,True name of the cartoonist, usurped identity), and "Feet Washing Basin". Nowhere did the
3/ judgement mention the account "l'étranger1111" cited in Ms. BAE's article.

In the judgement, Mr. Luo confirmed
that he has since deleted the 40s tweets being targeted. Whereas the tweet cited in the BAE article is still valid on Twitter. So the cited tweet is totally

China's strategy to adhere to the concrete, keeping its nose to the grindstone pays... while US/WEST are engaged in a sterile media war destined to be a flop.

America is schizophrenic. On the one hand, White House screams decoupling and one would think we are on the brink
2/ of a war. On the other hand the actual US investment increased 6% for the first 6 months in China. According to Navarro, these US investors are "turncoats"

Where can the money go anyway? There's no where to go. To spite China, normally US investors should invest in India
3/where labor is cheaper. (Well, if China practiced "slave labor", what should Indian labor be called then?)

Unfortunately, the pandemic is out of control in India, and situation is not likely to improve anytime soon. The statistics are bad, but reality is much worse given

Happy birthday to our beloved Motherland, to its hardworking people and its capable government CPC.

From poverty to prosperity...
From never ending civil war to peace...
From no tech to tech giant...
🌹🌹
China is the only country where upon hearing "Happy birthday to our Mother land" would arouse tears in its people and wouldn't be seen as ridiculous by the rest of the world. Try do the same to America. It would be booed worldwide. There's no glory for a country in killing
millions without being punished or even condemned.
This is thanks to US which is determined to destroy China. The opposites go hand in hand. There's no intense China love without intense China hate. Intense love is always elicited by intense hate.

Compare these Tibetan youth with their counterparts in black neighborhoods in the US and in the immigrants quarters in Europe. China provides its youth with all round training, including military boot camp training to empower them for life. ImageImage
2/ Well, there's nothing breaking in it. All schools in China from junior high up organise boot camp training programs provided by the military to instill discipline, physically and mentally harden and toughen the young. In France, there are also military training
3/programs provided to youth of poor
neighborhoods to shape them up for the job market. Many Chinese children excl. minorities are single kids. Many of them are spoilt and haven't been exposed to a collective shared life with others. Military boot camp is a good way to teach

Why nobody wants to talk to Western journalists in Xinjiang? Understanding the catastrophic western investigative journalism

I watched a documentary on German French channel ARTE on #Xinjiang. This is how a French journalist from the French leftist
2/newspaper LIBERATION conducts her interviews. She walks into a police station and asks the police, "We've come to visit the #Uighurconcentrationcamp. Can you show us where it is?" Police waved her away with impatience, "There's no such a thing as concentration camp!"
3/ I admired the restraint of the police officer. If this happened in the US, I'm afraid that the journalist would be dismissed in a more forceful manner. "Go fuck yourself" is more likely the answer she would get. The treatment international journalists are met with while
