CCTV Follies: April 18
First the good news from China:
-CCP is making great efforts to guarantee production and keep the economy supply chain flowing smoothly.
segue to Ukraine:
-Russia resumes assault on Mariupol Azov Steel Factory where Ukrainian holdouts refuse to surrender.

An in-depth look at suffering in Ukraine caused by US economic war and media invasion.
(no mention of Russia's war or invasion)
"US and UK must take responsibility for setting off an explosive global crisis," says the Int'l affairs chairman of Russia's Duma Leonid Slutsky.

There's a war going on and it's not Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it's US economic war:

-Russia sez reckless US sanctions are creating a major humanitarian crisis
-Russia sez US is sole beneficiary of Russia-Ukraine conflict
-Russia sez Western sanctions are ruining world trade

China doesn't just copy Russian propaganda, they produce some of their own.
CCTV's man in Moscow offers a penetrating interview that exposes how Ukraine has been INVADED by Western media and what's really going on is a media WAR!
The word "war" can't be used about the other war

One of the key sources of fake news is the BBC, they're the experts. And they're using the Ukraine conflict to create problems for Russia. For example, they've ruined the good relationship between Russia and Europe.

CCTV: Russia's war of invasion is never once criticized, only the sanctions imposed in reaction to the war.

There's no cause-and-effect in CCTV's argument, so one might conclude, as the guileless viewer is encouraged to do, that sanctions, not war, are the true root of all evil

-The English people want the sanctions reduced!
-US/UK propaganda plays a key role in Asia-Pacific and Mideast
-JFK first imposed sanctions on Cuba in 1962
-Russia president Mishustin says US sanctions have created a humanitarian disaster

And now for some good news:
Experts from Hunan are providing expertise to help the people of Shanghai
White is the new "red" but the old red is still going strong.
And how can you not be optimistic when the party has implemented its 2+2 testing program for delivery personnel?

Volunteers paste red flags on their caps, jackets and kids just so you know they're not nihilists like the complainers in Shanghai.

With the patriotic Hunan volunteers on the case, it's only a matter of time before the city of Shanghai gets back up on its feet again.

Even the TV adverts conspire to create a feel-good aura about the motherland, a land where the sun shines every day and which is unpolluted and teaming with pristine tourist locations.

Finally, the news closes with an unexpected tidbit from Burma. Perhaps its a soft-power outreach to the internationally-spurned military government.

But the good news is...
The movie theatres in Rangoon have opened again!

"It's been a long time since we've been to the movies."
