They share an unsourced report about Ukrainian government bombing and killing Russian speaking population and complain that the western media don’t report this atrocity
A video from China’s state TV “debunking” western media lies on Russia, a report from state tabloid repeating Russian Defence Ministry press releases, and a social media video exhorting Chinese to follow the government line that it is not an invasion
They share a video with the caption: Russian precision attack sinking the Ukrainian Defence Headquarter, Putin the Great is a KGB legend. I point out that people were speaking Arabic in the video and it was actually the Israeli operation in Gaza. They ignore my fact checking
A pro-Russia dude claims that the many Chinese Australians he knows all share his view, not my pro-Ukrainian view. He thinks it’s understandable for me to be pro-Ukraine if I were born in Australia, but not if I came from China.
They complain that BBC’s @BowenBBC breaches journalism ethics by tweeting a picture guide of how to throw a Molotov cocktail
A pinkie wants to know where to buy Russia products in Sydney (presumably hoping to show support for Putin)
A rare treat in this group! Some one posts a meme mocking the enthusiastic support Putin gets from the Chinese: “Putin is brought to tears. Without the war, he wouldn’t even know he had so many loyal sons and grandsons on TikTok China”
A pinkie promotes RT
One of the favourite targets of pinkies is Vicky Xu
This question from a pinkie “where do I find shops or supermarkets that stock Russian made products in **Sydney**?” actually is the trigger for my decision to publicise the pro-Russia contents of the group.
What kind of twisted ideology would compel a Chinese living in the liberal democracy of Australia to take the trouble to seek out Russian shops to support Putin’s war on another country?
Naturally they are very very upset, accusing me of “inciting hatred, political persecution, inciting anti-Chinese sentiments, currying favor to obtain US passport, evil culprit responsible for the coming calamity against the Chinese community…”
One reacts like a kindergarten boy caught pulling a girl’s ponytail “but what about the Indians? They are for Putin on Facebook? Why didn’t you expose them?” (But I am not in a Chatroom full of Indians am I?)
They put out a meme praising Minister Wang Xining, China’s top diplomat in Canberra, as a genuine diplomat and I am just an assistant (fact check: true. I was a junior diplomat 20 years ago)

The Chinese MFA spokesperson Twitter feed is a hilarious collection of chutzpath and brazen lack of self-awareness. The most "supremely ironic" part is the fact that China itself bans Tiktok and Twitter. The spokesperson has to use a VPN to tweet.
Chinese MFA spokesperson: "Tiktok is registered in accordance with the US's laws and subject to the US's regulation."

Also Chinese MFA spokesperson: "How dare the US lawmakers change its own laws to regulate TikTok?" Image
"While we are entitled to ban Tiktok and all major US social media platforms to serve the CCP's domestic political interest, the US "rules" and "order" should serve the whole world" Image

She is misleading her audience with the video. Let me summarise what actually happened (full video here )
1. Brendan Kavanaugh, a youtube pianist, was streaming his performance at the King's Cross St Pancras station in London. youtube.com/live/65iwnI2hj…
2. A group of Chinese living in London, were making a segment for a Chinese TV outlet celebrating Chinese New Year. The outlet required them not to disclose the performance (perhaps for commercial reasons)
3. The group was waiting to use the public piano for their filming. Brendan was chatting with a guy who organized some activities for a Japanese outlet before and he thought they were Japanese. He invited them to join him.

Chinese nationalist media Guancha celebrates Victor Gao’s insult-laden appearance about Taiwan on Al Jazeera. Gao bragged about his law license in New York and disparaged the other panelist, an American professor, as not knowing history or law. Gap is actually wrong on both.
why does Guancha mask Al Jazeera’s logo from the video clip, stealing their content? This is the asymmetrical info warfare China is playing: their surrogates get on foreign media all the time pushing propaganda, but no foreign views contradicting Beijing can be heard in China
In case you wonder who Victor Gao is. He is the dude who claimed that Peng shuai could not have been sexually assaulted by CCP official because she was a strong athlete.

@YaleLawSch should be ashamed to have him as an alumnus Image

Twitter has removed the “state affiliated media” for Chinese state media propaganda accounts. Meanwhile Twitter is banned in China.

Great job @elonmusk ImageImageImage
Comrade Andy claims that “no one tells me what to post”. That’s a lie. Gen Sec told Andy what to post, in no uncertain terms. ImageImage
Gen Sec Xi clearly instructed Chinese media to "tell good China stories".
Comrade Cyrus did not do his homework well. Please submit self-criticism report.

Generally speaking PMs and Premiers should avoid directly critiquing their own colleagues on foreign policy when travelling abroad, especially in a country which holds two Australians in arbitrary detention and places numerous unfair trade sanctions on Australian products
This is basic political etiquette: as elected leaders, they represent ALL Australians, not just their own party, when visiting foreign countries on taxpayer funded trips. @MarkMcGowanMP could have simply said “there are diverse views in Aus on how to handle China relations”
Granted this is a hot mic moment talking to an Australian businessman, but still his own team sent out the video, on purpose.

Comrade @chenweihua, China Daily's reporter in Brussels, has tweeted many times about the Ohio derailment in which no one died, but remains quiet about the Beijing hospital fire which killed 29 patients. He only cares about white Americans. ImageImage
Comrade Chen tweeted endlessly about abortion rights in the US, but has never ever for once condemned the brutal Chinese government policy of forced abortions for Chinese women. He only cares about rights of American women. ImageImageImageImage
Comrade Chen tweeted endlessly about US "proxy war" in Ukraine against Russia, but has never ever for once condemned the actual aggressor in the Ukraine War, Russia. ImageImageImage
