      Lol, the Asian Games have been a roaring success in Hangzhou for nearly two weeks. From a spectacular opening ceremony to the joy of the athletes competing in an open and friendly environment, it been studiously ignored by the so-called global media yet they wallow in this like pigs in shit.

      You all love to call anyone who is vaguely pro China (or anywhere else US/Nato doesn’t like) shills but the whole of western corporate media are nothing less.

        “Sports games are successful therefore don’t care about the censorship” is not the sound argument you think it is.

            I see. So one kind of censorship is bad and another kind of censorship is good. How do I tell when it’s the good kind of censorship?

              I didn’t say censorship was good, I said western media will pick up any shit it can find in order to bash China while ignoring anything positive that might come from there. It’s not just China, they do the same for everywhere that US/Nato doesn’t like. A small handful of corporations controlling everything you know about the world.

                So because the West says bad things about China, China can’t be criticized for censorship?

                  criticized

                  In this case trivial shit motivated by fear, jealousy and hate spread by US government friendly media organisations and amplified by bots and shills eager to get their percentage of America’s $300,000,000 anti-China propaganda budget.

                  Of course the US doesn’t censor news, they don’t need to when a compliant media simply doesn’t report things their leaders don’t like.

                    So because it’s “trivial shit” it is beyond criticism. I see.
