How would you like to live in a building that says:
"Grateful for Communist Party"
"Grateful for Chairman" (general secretary Xi)
"General Secretary Xi Jinping takes the people as the core of his development ideas."
So says neutral observer Wang Xiangming, the deputy director of "People's University Xi Jinping New Era Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Research Institute"
This "New Era" biz is a mouthful, but it purportedly explains everything good that's happening in China, and oh, and did I mention?
It's the idea of Xi Jinping!
CCTV anchors are under pressure to smile whenever talking about all the good things Xi has brought to China.
It's all thanks to having Xi Jinping as the helmsman...
Real sailors and real helmsman at sea follow the directions of landlubber helmsman Xi Jinping
Even the birds are singing praise?
Bumper harvests
CCTV keeps blaming US for Africa food shortfalls, so maybe China can help out?
Abundance in abundance
China has comprehensive libraries.
-Are those bookshelves half full or half empty?
Huge crowds gather around the Coliseum in Rome to celebrate China's National Day!!!
Actually it's the embassy staff working overtime.
World leaders from many countries, including East Timor, sing praise of Xi Jinping's leadership.
Russia's Defense Ministry explains that it only strikes military targets and does so with precision weapons.
Russian copter, Ukraine missile launcher
And now the obligatory "US weapons are fanning the flames."
Oh, say. Can't you see?
Russia is this peaceful scenic place just trying to mind it's own business and the US made them do it.
"The eastward expansion of NATO is the root cause of the conflict"
Europeans have one finger on the thermostat
(the other finger pointing at the US for causing all their troubles)
The "bad news from bad countries" (TM) brought to you by popular demand, today features the staggering US national debt.
But let's not fret, dear viewer. China loves itself so much it closes the daily news program with a montage of postcard perfect pictures to the tune of
"I love you China."
During this time of trouble, the restive populace is sure to be calmed by this new publication highlighting Xi Jinping's penetrating insights into high-level science
Yet another publication by the world's greatest freelance writer:
Xi Jinping Thought on Strong Military
Why read it once when you can read it three times?
The next ten minutes is devoted to some reassuring, inspirational shots of Xi Jinping who has total control of the military and wants the world to know it.
Patrick Chovanec, a consultant at Silvercrest Asset Mgmt has done some China virtue-signaling by compiling photos about the 1989 Tiananmen demonstrations, an event he evidently knows little about.
(a thread)
To do this, he compiled over a dozen of my photos on his blog , and when I brought this to his attention, he made no effort to credit the photos or reveal where he got them from. patrickchovanec.com/about/
Some of the photos now have a life of their own on the internet, including the above photo, (caption by Chovanec) which has been used by conspiratorial pro-China bloggers as proof of a "color revolution."
;-)
A political bible with quasi-religious overtones is unveiled like a holy relic.
A book by Xi Jinping! In English!
CCTV news shows the entire table of contents
Wow. It sure looks like a gripping read. Find a comfy chair, put the kettle on and settle for a long enlightening read.
CCTV FOLLIES: 5.26
China state TV doubles down on dubious Russia claims about "secret" US bio-labs in Ukraine.
(from May 26 Xinwen Lianbo)
Anchor Li Zimeng couches the accusations in the language of Russia's Defense Ministry, but the CCTV editors like the story enough for it to get major airtime.
The Russia Defense Ministry, solid architectural monolith that it is, is portrayed as a presumably authoritative source.
Read all about it! Top of the news! Yet another much-heralded publication by the indefatigable freelance writer Xi Jinping, whose excessive narcissism is nicely balanced with pictures of himself.
Up next, a nostalgic look back to 2017 when this man was laying the foundation of today's greatness.
Among many, many other incredible, almost super-human accomplishments, he created a city out of dust.
