A CCP flag made of toxic hot peppers.
Justice is not just. It's enforcement of the party's will.
When the gavel comes down, race for exits.
A prominent public figure can get 18 years in jail for calling Xi a clown. But you won't hear that on CCTV, or...maybe just the 18 years part.
One country united in thought...
Bad trends must be nipped in the bud
The latest protective gear is available to agents of the law when apprehending unclean criminals
Pro-tip to local party members:
Make it red.
CCTV found a photogenic German to sing praise of the 20th congress report, the Belt and Road, China's dedication to peace and harmony and China's contribution to the human race.
If the above one is silly, this one is sad.
A Tibetan lady dances the loyalty dance as a model minority. She praises Xi Jinping, thanks the party for their generosity, and apparently likes painting red flags on rocks better then prayer stones

Nice picture, toxic ideology:
"I feel deeply grateful to the party and will continue to follow the party"
If you see big English words, can foreigners be far?
Journalists get herded into a room to watch a grandiose

And now the bad news from a bad country segment:
Thanks to inflation, Franklins don't buy as much as they used to in the US.
Bird flu in Holland
Another CCTV trademark before-and-after shot.
And finally, to end on a happy note. Let's wallow in Winter Olympic pride a little longer. Lots of viewers, lots of ad dollars.
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.

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/

A book by Xi Jinping! In English!
CCTV news shows the entire table of contents

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)

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.
