... you make fabricated, exaggerated, hypocritical (*) accusations, and perpetually double-standard around the world. History keeps repeating because the US is trying hard to imitate the Qing Dynasty ("shut itself out of the world") and embarking on a path of the American Cultural Revolution (== populism) that will never-end (unlike the one in China which ended promptly when a leader died.)
(*) and this too.
So all you got is just the same photo we are discussing here? "Stooge" is absolutely the right word describing you.
You ran out o reasons and resorted to personal attacks. Pity you. You are a disgrace of your country. Oh... majority of your countrymen are just like you nowadays. Pity them, too.
While what you said are mostly true, you're still biased toward the western stance. Taiwanese were from Fujian and other southeastern China area, has been governed by Chinese government since at least 1171, and rescued by the mainland government many times. If that doesn't proved it is part of China, what would? How does that history compared to that of Hawaii, Guam, Texas, California, and, ooops, the whole USA?
And you are totally wrong here:
Nixon had championed that as a condition of normalizing relations with China.
He didn't and couldn't because Taiwan is just a pawn of the USA in its world dominance game rivaling the Soviet Union and China. In short, the USA betrayed Taiwan by absent from the important UN vote to kick out Taiwan, by cutting diplomatic tie with Taiwan ROC (*), and established relation with China. If you don't tell these obvious facts, you either fail at history or you try to mislead.
(*) Oh yeah, what about that Taiwan Relation Act? I call it "alimony" of the ROC-US relation.
Sort of.
Why? The photo, which has been constantly promoted by western media as evidence of wrongdoing or "evilness" of the PLA and the Chinese government, was a screenshot taken out of a video clip showing the tank trying hard to maneuver away from the man without harming him and that the man eventually walked away safely.
As the lead tank maneuvered to pass by the man, he repeatedly shifted his position in order to obstruct the tank's attempted path around him.
If it can prove anything, it is that the PLA was acting gracefully, professionally and humanely. Yet, the media has succeeded in turning it into a weapon against China. (*)
What would happen to this man if he were acting that way in a protest in the US? No need to guess. History has shown us the answers. (**)
Think Different.
(*) It is claimed that hundreds of protesters were killed in Tiananmen Square, but there were actually no death occurred in Tiananmen Square and there were no photos or video footages showing how protesters were killed on the way leading to the Square. Perhaps, they were obstructing and attacking the PLA soldiers in the first place, like those protesters -- hmm... rioters -- in the US?
(**) Oh, we don't call them protesters. We call them rioters, unlike those in Hong Kong where none was killed by the HK police.
I'm hackingbear. The summary of this piece is NOT written by me. What I wrote, as shown below, is totally different:
TITLE: Chinese Netizens Mock U.S. Sanctions Following Huawei Chip Breakthrough
Chinese social media users are having fun teasing the U.S. government and the (in)effectiveness of its technology sanctions on chipmaking equipment. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo has been a particular target, as the Huawei Mate 60 Pro launched on the same day Raimondo arriving in China for official visit. Huawei Mate 60 Pro is a smartphone packing new cutting-edge Chinese technology including a new 5G Kirin 9000s processor, despite sweeping and fanatic efforts by the United States to restrict China’s access to foreign chip technology. The exact manufacturing source remains a mystery with speculations ranging from China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), which itself is under U.S. sanctions, to Huawei's own semiconductor plant. The U.S is scrambling to investigate how its sanctions got broken. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said during a White House press briefing Tuesday that the US needs “more information about precisely its character and composition” to determine if parties bypassed American restrictions on semiconductor exports to create the new chip. The processor suggests the Chinese government is making some headway in attempts to build a domestic chip ecosystem capable of producing advanced 7nm chips. In addition to 5G, the Mate 60 Pro might also be capable of satellite voice calls for subscribers on China Telecom’s network, making it the first device in a smartphone form factor with such capability, while Apple's iPhone 14 can only send emergency text messages via satellite. The company said only, “Without a ground network, you can also make and receive satellite calls. You can also freely edit satellite messages, select multiple pieces of location information to generate a trajectory, and travel with more peace of mind.” The U.S. placed Huawei and a long list of Chinese hi-tech companies under heavy sanctions in an attempt to stop China's technology progress, similar to what the Great Britain had done to the U.S. in the 19th century — apparently the British had failed.
The slashdot has totally removed anything that looks inconvenient to the U.S. public and chose to publish this on Saturday.
the US made Huawei a pawn in its nationalistic, populistic tech war, like that the Brits used to do to the US.
I just checked my secret NSA spy records
Thank you for confessing the NSA of USA is the evil spy of the world. You will get the treatment of Edward Snowden from your superior officer very soon.
Microsoft is hot on your tail.
How? Oh... I'm a Microsoft user... you are saying that American products are full of spying back doors? You must hate this country so much to say that or you're telling the truth. I can't tell which best describe you.
You can see it in the mirror:
Americans have been understandably outraged and alarmed about foreign electoral interference. But the practice is not new; in fact, the United States was for a long time its leading exponent. As Dov Levin shows in his book, Meddling in the Ballot Box, the US and the Soviet Union (and subsequently Russia) engaged in 117 covert or overt foreign electoral interventions to help or hinder candidates or parties between 1946 and 2000, with the US accounting for 81 of these cases (or 69% of the total).
Other people on this planet doing the same are criminal, because the US monopolizes the whole planet and define who are allowed!
