I don't think they would've gotten off as easy as they did in Hong Kong if they kept their same approach.

I seem to recall they weren't too friendly with ordinary local civilians who had dissenting opinions either.

Even women weren't safe IIRC

To knock Palestinians down & make sure they never get back up, you must destroy the very people who have the best hope of uplifting their people. Doctors, engineers, educators, the journalists who tell their stories & middle class people working their way up the best they can.

BREAKING: The US federal government has cut off the electricity supply and blocked the entry of food and fuel to Maine as part of a “total siege” strategy adopted on Thursday, in retaliation against the the Lewiston shooter.
Image
While Maine residents will not be permitted to cross into New Hampshire, the US government has said the right thing for Canada to do is open their borders to them, considering the humanitarian crisis that will unfold as a result of these cuts.
Maine residents have begun speaking out about the crisis that's unfolding and what they feel is a disproportionate/unfair response, but whenever they get a bit of airtime on a network, the hosts mostly just want to hear them say that they condemn the shooter & assault rifles. Image

This South African man, who once called the apartheid a delicious cake his grandpa enjoyed, is disgusted by "stupid" Chinese & "corrupt" Africans buying lavish luxury products/houses, but gushes over wealthy Americans & their big homes sufficiently separated from poor people.
In China he managed to feel "positive discrimination" and a skin colour privledge he always wished for, but is now cashing in on Sinophobia full-time, rebranding his experiences, crapping on the people who warmly welcomed him & saying America's the only place with no real racism. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here's a few example of the kinds of stuff this chap says, all quite on brand for his character. His racist/bigoted character would often come through in his older work (it's probably something difficult to hide), but he's really upped his game more recently to trend follow.

Dog whistles of course aren't always built on logic, but they're usually at least a bit better at appearing more ambiguous/discrete than this. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The virus spread freely for years elsewhere as he's complained about China not opening up. He wanted to travel in & out of China for so long and isn't concerned about the virus being brought in, but suddenly wants to once again paint Chinese folks as disruptive virus spreaders.
In case you can't see the tweet after his block:

I told Canada's state broadcaster, ironically looking for state-sponsored influencers, how integrity-lacking media gives state-sponsored ASPI a free pass. They cut that out of their final report & proceeded to invite ASPI on with a free pass, never once mentioning their funding.
From our half-hour interview they used 3.5 seconds, didn't air my response to the claims made against me in their report, making it deliberately sound like I said the opposite of what I actually said. They privately agreed I was misrepresented and promised to issue corrections.
Even had they followed through, they know it's after the damage is done, even so, they promised to put a correction "everywhere the story lives", but continued selling that clip to other news agencies without any requirement to include the correction. Don't trust mainstream media Image

A classic. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs taking the BBC to school.
Correction: The BBC journalist in the video above wasn't Laura Kuenssberg, but Kathy Long (@ProducerKathy). Kathy was also caught lying in Xinjiang as well as breaking her promises made to people she ambushed while trying to manufacture a story.

To folks feeling conflicted seeing a gov't you hate roasting a news outlet you hate, remember it's largely these same news networks conditioning you to hate China to begin with. BBC wanted to do a hit piece on me, backing out after I asked questions back.
