Comment Re:Chinese-owned AMC Theatres - what are they up t (Score 1) 31

Ain't capitalism grand. /s

Even grander with "chinese characteristics", as the Party which was in fact built on the idea of capitalists "buying rope" etc. might put it.

Turns out the Wanda Group from the PRC just sold most of its stake in AMC in the last week or two. Thanks for the ingenious news. Wanda apparently made quite a killing on their investment too.

These companies with volatile stock pumps and dumps apparently initiated by Reddit (also significant PRC ownership FWIW - the last time I checked anyway!) users/manipulators have interesting targets.

Comment Re:Propaganda. (Score 1) 271

Since the (IMO justified) revelations of criminal actions by the US military during the neo-con Iraq war, *everything* I've seen from Greenwald has been *ideologically* opposed to US, to the extent of him deserving the highest *Russian* military honours Putin can bestow on him.

Whatever journalisms he still engages in is merely harnessed for the purpose of propaganda.

Don't get me wrong, the US military policies have for decades deserved harsh criticism, but it needs to be rational and non-ideological rather than aimed to serve the enemies of the USA specifically and enemies of democracy in general.

Now, this was Greenwald's starting point wrt. Parler use among the insurrectionists:

"Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?

Zero.

The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bullshit pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start."

And it would be nice if Mediatek could find it in their interests to offer better support for OSS development. It's almost as it they're intentionally pushing low-end OEMs and OSS developers towards the People's Republic of China-based RockChip.

In the next stage of the new Great Game, location matters.
