CCTV FOLLIES 12.21 Best friend of best friend

-Cordial reception for Putin pal Dmitry Medvedev at Diaoyutai Guest House
-Xi is relaxed and smiling
-Covid news gets a pass, but pharmaceuticals booming
-Patriotic missiles are a threat to the whole world
-US looking at recession
It's like being with the best friend of his best friend...
A happy meeting of like minds
Xi makes phone call to Germany (still drilling away on long-term project to erode and disrupt NATO unity)
The next section of news is all talking heads and read-outs. Xi sends congratulatory message and then the text of Li Keqiang's remarks about the economy.
About two-thirds the way through, Covid gets an indirect mention. No stats, no hard news, but a bright, upbeat outlook on pharmaceutical production which is up. CCTV takes the viewer on an illustrated journey from factory floor to warehouse, from delivery truck to pharmacy.
Getting fever medicine to the people....
The pharmacy is well-stocked and not at all crowded.
Domestic innovation via satellite technology, more party meetings and the beautiful countryside.
Minorities are especially colorful and artistic.
And it's bombs away, courtesy of Russian Defense Ministry...
Russia advances...
Ukraine fights back
But the introduction of US Patriot missiles to Ukraine is a worry for the entire world.

Actions of US and NATO cause global famine
Capitalist UK is rocked by a nurse's strike...
Japan's exchange rate surges to 130 yen to the dollar.
Dollar going down.
US 70% likely to go into recession.

CCTV's US-based crew illustrates this important story with tomatoes.

And that's the news of the day...zai jian!

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) Image
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/
Image
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."

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) Image
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. Image
The Russia Defense Ministry, solid architectural monolith that it is, is portrayed as a presumably authoritative source. Image

CCTV FOLLIES 4.1 The April Fools news is real

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.
