Re: China
The irony is that the article came from the New York times.
....his isn’t a new phenomenon but today the NY Times has a story about China’s use of western bloggers to spread propaganda. YouTube requires content creators to identify if they have commercial relationships that drive their videos. But in the case of western video bloggers in China, possible connections to the state usually go unmentioned.
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2021/12/14/ ... da-n435396Video blogger Matthew Tye, who lived in China for 10 years, refers to these bloggers as “white monkeys,” though you don’t have to be white to be one. Basically, any foreign face is enough to get you a job in the media in China. In fact, Tye used to be a “white monkey” himself before he changed his mind about China and eventually moved back to the US. Now he tracks trends in Chinese propaganda for his YouTube channel.
Last month, Tye did a video about the way some of these bloggers get hired. They are first sent a generic request to do some kind of travel or promotional video. Maybe the offer is an all-expenses paid trip to a resort location within China. If they accept that offer then they are given more opportunities. In Tye’s case, the person who reached out to him asked if he’d be willing to post a COVID informational video on his site while approval for his travel to a resort island was pending. Tye then negotiated a deal in which he would be paid $2,000 to post the Chinese video which claimed COVID originated in North American deer. (He didn’t post it, he was just trying to see how much they would agree to pay.)

Re: China
Canada is probably filled with Tom Brady fans, he seems just their type. So you're right, I see the exclusion of the Eagles and the Giants from Canada's list of teams.

Re: China
EXCLUSIVE China pressures Germany's Continental to cut out Lithuania - sources
China opposes the politicization of sports. Maybe they should oppose the politicization of business and trade.China is pressuring German car parts giant Continental to stop using components made in Lithuania, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters, amid a dispute between Beijing and the Baltic state over the status of Taiwan.
The targeting of Continental is an example of how the China-Lithuania diplomatic spat is spilling over into business in an era of global supply chains and affecting Germany's car industry, a lucrative pillar of Europe's biggest economy.

Purdue President Mitch Daniels calls threats to student from China 'unacceptable'
China opposes the politicization of sports. Maybe they should oppose the politicization of academics."Purdue learned from a national news account last week that one of our students, after speaking on behalf of freedom and others martyred for advocating it, was harassed and threatened by other students from his own home country," Daniels wrote. "Worse still, his family back home, in this case China, was visited and threatened by agents of that nation's secret police.
...
If those students who issued the threats can be identified, they will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. Likewise, any student found to have reported another student to any foreign entity for exercising their freedom of speech or belief will be subject to significant sanctions."

Harvard Professor Lieber convicted on six counts of lying about his China connections and related tax charges. He could get up to five years, but will probably get six months. His Nobel dreams are out the window.

They aren’t going to have to do anything kinetic to us… they are just going to cultivate enough internal traitors with money - and when you start hearing apologists for China just follow the money, or your fave media outlet like this one right here in good ol DC:

Re: China
Olympics Opening Ceremony draws record-low ratings: Why aren't Americans tuning in?
It is a record low for the Opening Ceremony (20.1 million for 1988 in Calgary was the previous record) and a whopping 43 percent below the 2018 Games in South Korea that notched 28.3 million viewers despite also dealing with a less than advantageous Asian time zone for American audiences.
It comes on the heels of Thursday’s ratings disaster that saw just 7.7 million people tune in, dramatically below same-night audiences of 2018 (16 million) and 2014 from Russia (20.02 million).
...
In issues more directly related to the Games, China’s drastic anti-COVID measures have made life inside its “closed loop” a high-stress and near joyless experience for the athletes and a massive challenge for NBC.
Athletes have complained about the fear of positive tests, substandard conditions in unnecessary “isolation centers” and the need to guard against China hacking into their phones and computers to mine data and steal identities.

Re: China
The IOC as a world body is as corrupt as they come. China will get Olympic games as often as they want them. They just need to buy new Maseratis for some and sprinkle a little poon here and there and even Wuhan could get a games
