China is fucked! Trump is the best!

[Leongsam]

You are an aneh. I am a Chinese. The only thing we share in common here is that we are guests in this forum.

The only person here who has the right to tell me to "get the fuck out" is the forum owner. If he does so, I will be out in an instant.

Don't forget your place as a guest in this forum.

Now you resort to racism. I'm out of here.

 

[PTADER]

If you think that the current situation is fair then I have nothing further to say. Your attitude, along with other looney statements about China's "benign" intentions simply reflects the fact that your chauvinism overrides your logic.

The converse holds true. Your delusional claims and loony fantasies about China falling apart, "losing", etc reflects your juvenile, unrealistic demented views about it.

If I have to guess, it's because you have never been accepted as a full-blooded Chinese, hence the ongoing and prolonged resentment.

To you and the envious aneh crabs, eat your heart out as China marches on!

 

[PTADER]

Your stance that anyone who agrees with me is "sucking my dick" shows just how pathetic you are.

Nobody gets paid to suck up to me. They gain no privileges just as those who curse me suffer no consequence. You simply cannot accept the possibility that it's because I make more sense than you do so you resort to vulgarities and name calling.

Tell that to your hero worshippers, those who have to lean on you or use you as a crutch. I believe they will get some NTUC vouchers.

BTW, why the sudden coyness about "vulgarities" which you have been spewing out since you started the forum in 1997(?) ?

 

[PTADER]

Now you resort to racism. I'm out of here.

This is racism???

Calling the chap "aneh" and myself "Chinese" is "racism"??? Couldn't you have come up with a better excuse than this pathetic crap?

I would have just said "Let's agree to this disagree and move on" which I wanted to do just before reading your pathetic "racism" bullshit of a poor excuse.

 

[zhihau]

Only perverts like you will think daily of sex, sex and more sex.

Tantric sex is the best!

They buy fewer imported goods because of the tariffs that the Chinese government imposes. That's the crux of the whole problem and the cause of the trade imbalance.

GM sells 70% more cars in China than it does in the US. However because of the 25% tariff on imported vehicles from the US GM is forced into joint ventures with Chinese companies who then steal the technology.

If there were no tariffs GM could sell cars made in the USA instead of having to assemble in China and the trade imbalance would look a lot better.

Trumps goal is to eliminate or reduce these tariffs. I wish him the very best. He is a great President.

China also protect its industries with tariffs. Trump needs to break these barriers or use tit for tat tactics. For example, since Google is banned in ah tiong land, ban WeChat in the USA. N declassify ah tiong land as a developing nation under WTO rules.

Microsoft's Bing search engine is back online in China after being blocked for two days
UPDATED FRI AT 1:39PM

Microsoft's Bing search engine can be accessed by internet users in China again after it was blocked for two days behind the country's so-called Great Firewall.

Key points:
The Great Firewall was built by the Chinese government in the 1990s to censor internet use
A report has confirmed the government ordered Bing to be blocked
Microsoft said it was determining its next steps
The US technology giant confirmed on Friday that access was again possible but did not provide reasons for the disruption or other details.

Comments on social media had accused regulators of choking off access to information. Others complained they were forced to use Chinese search engines they said delivered poor results — often irrelevant or thought to be paid advertising.

"Why can't we choose what we want to use?" a comment signed Aurelito on the Sina Weibo microblog service said.

Bing was the only major foreign search engine accessible from within China, and Microsoft censored search results on sensitive topics, in accordance with government policy.

Google's search platform has been blocked in China since 2010.

The two-day Bing ban was Microsoft's second setback in China since November 2017, when its Skype internet phone call and messaging service was pulled from Apple and Android app stores.

While services were down, a search performed on Bing's China website — cn.bing.com — from within mainland China directed users to a page that said the server could not be reached.

The Financial Times reported China Unicom, a major state-owned telecommunication company, had confirmed the Government order to block the search engine.

Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), a government watchdog, did not respond to questions about Bing's blocked website.

The Communist Party has a long history of exercising its role to educate and control citizens by removing content from the media that it believes might cause "spiritual pollution".

Great Firewall Generation Z cut off from the West
Great Firewall Generation Z cut off from the West
China's Great Firewall has been censoring the internet for decades, and unlike Western teens many young Chinese have never heard of social media giants like Facebook and Twitter.
China has by far the biggest population of internet users, with about 800 million people online, according to government data.

The Firewall is a digital border that was built by the Chinese Government to control the internet in the mid-1990s.

In recent years, China has pushed its digital silk road and tech giants such as Huawei, Alibaba and Tencent to the world, while simultaneously tightening internet censorship.

President Xi Jinping has accelerated control of the internet in China since 2016, as the ruling Communist Party seeks to crack down on dissent in the social media landscape.

Since coming to power in 2012, Xi has promoted the notion of "internet sovereignty," or the right of Beijing and other governments to dictate what their publics can do and see online.

The Government also has tightened controls on use of virtual private network technology that can evade its filters.

In a statement on Wednesday, CAC said it had deleted more than 7 million pieces of online information and 9,382 mobile apps.

It also criticised technology company Tencent's news app for spreading "vulgar information".

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in December the company has no plans to relaunch a search engine in China, though it is continuing to study the idea amid increased scrutiny of big tech firms.

US shutdown: National press see a defeat for Donald Trump
26 January 2019
Share this with Facebook Share this with WhatsApp Share this with Messenger Share this with Twitter Share

US President Donald Trump has relented to political pressure and ended the longest government shutdown in history.

He had vowed to reject any deal unless it included $5.7bn (£4.3bn) to fund his signature campaign pledge, a US-Mexico wall.

The three-week agreement Mr Trump signed however does not include this.

Even outlets sympathetic to the US president have seen it as a blow. Here's our round-up.

Trump backs down to halt painful shutdown
US shutdown: Reasons why Trump blinked
The New York Times
The NYT led its coverage of Friday's news with: "Trump backs down, ending longest shutdown in US history."

ADVERTISEMENT

Its White House correspondent writes that "for a president consumed with winning", this was a "stinging defeat".

The paper also looked at where conservatives stood on the story, reporting that some feel Mr Trump had caved in.

The newspaper has been a frequent target of Mr Trump, who has called its writers "gutless" and the newspaper as "phony" on numerous occasions.

The Washington Post
The paper's website has a frozen ticker, highlighting how Mr Trump's impasse with Democrats ended after exactly 34 days, 21 hours and 18 minutes.

Coverage on some of the 800,000 federal workers affected by the five-week closure features prominently.

In a video about a food kitchen for federal workers, some express relief but also fear they may be held "hostage" again in three weeks' time.

Trump's border wall - in seven charts
Washington Post writers argue that Trump may be a "prisoner of his own impulse".

"Elected as a self-proclaimed master dealmaker and business wizard... Trump risks being exposed as ineffective," one article said.


Media caption"Many of those people who are not getting paid are totally in favour of what we are doing"
Fox News
The TV channel, a long favoured outlet of Mr Trump, leads its coverage by saying government is "back in business" but also reports that the president's approval rating has gone to one of its lowest, with 37% approval and 58% disapproval.

The Fox News politics editor, however, said that the president has not "started to eat into his base" but cautioned that Mr Trump cannot risk looking like he is "capitulating" in his demand for a border wall.

Report
It included Mr Trump's tweets appealing for understanding, but also featured stinging criticism from conservative commentator Ann Coulter.

Breitbart News
The right-wing news outlet, which was propelled into the national stage with Mr Trump's election, has not shied away from the unfavourable coverage of Mr Trump's decision.

Breitbart reports Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi signs the legislation with eight pens
Its front page said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had "rubbed it in" by signing the bill with eight pens, which she later gave as souvenirs to her colleagues.

Breitbart also reports that at least 30,000 illegal border crossings are expected in the next three weeks that there is no secured funding for a proposed US-Mexico wall.

They calculated this figure based on Department of Homeland Security data from earlier time periods.

It also reported on Monday's arrest of 110 Central Americans, who scaled an existing border wall into the US.

USA Today
This outlet took a different view from Breitbart, saying Ms Pelosi "was careful not to gloat".

The remarkable comeback of America's most powerful woman
Overall consensus is that this is a resounding victory for her, after she stood her ground against Mr Trump's demand for money towards a wall.

USA Today's main story focuses on how the president's relationship with Ms Pelosi "changes everything in Washington", and how "no one should underestimate her".

It also rounds up conservative backlash against Mr Trump, including from blogger Mike Cernovich who said he was disgusted and did not like being lied to about the wall.

CNN
The organisation called "fake news" by Mr Trump leads its coverage with how those behind him are stunned by the "loss".

Analysis by its editor-at-large says "Nancy Pelosi broke Donald Trump" by just saying "no" and sticking to it.

Trump threat after CNN reporter ruling
CNN quoted a Trump adviser as saying this was "a humiliating loss for a man that rarely loses" and "I miss winning".

With Ms Pelosi leading a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, the unnamed adviser concludes the only way forward for Mr Trump is "compromise".

US imposes new rules on state-owned Chinese media over propaganda concerns

RELATED STORY: Fake video depicting Donald Trump killing journalists shown at gathering of supporters
The Trump administration says it will begin treating five major Chinese state-run media entities with US operations the same as foreign embassies, requiring them to register their employees and US properties with the State Department.

Key points:

• US officials say the move comes after China intensified use of media to spread pro-Beijing propaganda overseas
• President Xi Jinping sees media as a way to promote Chinese soft power abroad
• Western media outlets operating in China already face harsh restrictions

Two senior State Department officials said the decision was made because China had been tightening state control over its media, and President Xi Jinping had made more aggressive use of them to spread pro-Beijing propaganda.

The control over both the content and editorial control have only strengthened over the course of Xi Jinping's term in power, said one official.

"These guys are in fact arms of the CCP's [Chinese Community Party's] propaganda apparatus."

China's 'Xi Jinping thought' app

China's new hottest app on the block is a propaganda resource that teaches "Xi Jinping thought" and requires the Communist Party's 90 million members to read it daily.


Beijing was not informed in advance of the decision and would be notified on Tuesday afternoon, one official said.

Beijing's control of China's state-owned media has become "more and more draconian," the second official said. Both officials spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity.

Tensions between the two superpowers have escalated since President Donald Trump came to office three years ago, with disputes ranging from trade tariffs to accusations of Chinese spying in the United States and to US support for Taiwan.

Global ambitions for expanded influence
Tuesday's decision, the officials said, is not linked to any recent developments in Sino-US relations and has been under consideration for some time.

The new determination is being applied to the Xinhua News Agency, China Global Television Network (CGTN), China Radio International, China Daily and Hai Tian Development USA, the officials said.

When the international arm of China Central Television (CCTV) news rebranded and became CGTN in 2016, Mr Xi urged the media organisation in a congratulatory letter to "tell China stories well" and spread China's voice.

The message was seen as part of Beijing's ambition to build a new global narrative around China while also challenging liberal democracy as the ideal developmental and political framework.

In late 2018, CGTN billboards began springing up across Australia, as the network became available on Foxtel and Fetch TV.

China Daily is an English-language newspaper published by the Chinese Communist Party. Hai Tian Development USA distributes the People's Daily, the official newspaper of the party's Central Committee.

Fairfax media — now taken over by Nine News — raised eyebrows when it included the China Watch lift-out in its newspapers on a monthly basis as part of a paid deal with China Daily, although it is understood to have ceased in November 2018.

Republican Florida senator Rick Scott applauded the State Department's decision, tweeting he had "been saying for months now outlets like China Daily should clearly be marked as the Chinese propaganda that they are".

US a 'far more liberal environment'
The five entities' US operations will have to disclose their personnel rosters and hiring and firing decisions and register properties in the United States that they rent or own with the State Department, the officials said.

They also will have to seek advanced approval before they lease or purchase new US properties, they said.

Asked if there were concerns that Beijing would retaliate against Western media based in China, one official noted that foreign news outlets there already worked under strict rules and that the new disclosure rules imposed no restrictions on the five state-owned Chinese entities' US operations.

"These guys operate in a far more liberal environment here in the United States than any foreign press enjoy in the People's Republic of China," the official said.

Media freedom in China is among the worst in the world — ranking 176 out of 180 countries on Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index.

A leaked 2013 government edict openly attacked Western media saying: "the West's idea of journalism undermines our country's principle that the media should be infused with the spirit of the party."
