China and Russia are actively spreading false information on COVID-19. Be aware.
| Thanks for the information OP.
| You're welcome. It's *very* important information in my opinion.
| What the hell is this?
| Somehow people trust this guy and his links but when I post stuff with more reputable sources people are like I'm not gonna believe that.
Y'all just love hating on Russia and China that's why the rest of the world hates you guys. You know who you are and what I'm talking about.
| Well someone is salty, maybe if you werent so aggressive peopl would be more nice to you
| Also its not like china and russia have problematic pseudo dictatorial governaments
| >>675765 You are implying all of us here who hate Russia and China are Americans and that says a lot about where you stand.
| Im not american, usa is a rich entitled garbage fire, russia is putins bitch and china is a dictatorial country with slave labour
| While I understand that and why China and Russia satisfy classical western enemy schemes, I'd like to point out that they are NOT the only ones that spread false information about corona (and many other things). It's wrong and stupid to focus only on those two countries while many other are involved in shady misinformation and manipulation actions - including important western countries and media (most significant the US of A).
| Just think about the massive efforts in framing the virus somehow as the product of chinese politics - not only by the US-President but also by "liberal" western media. For example take this cover from a german political magazine "Spiegel":
https://news.cgtn.com/news/3251444e3251544d314d6a4d3467444e3241444f31457a6333566d54/img/5deb74d7f6284702b7bf6f73c5d481ba/5deb74d7f6284702b7bf6f73c5d481ba.jpeg
The implications of this image are in no way inferior propaganda from Bejing/Kremlin.
| Also consider this Article:
https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/02/21/media-fail-miserably-coronavirus-coverage-14587
| You don't need special awarenes from chinese/russian propaganda as you can easiyl expect them for spreading false information. You rather should be aware from "they (=bad) vs. us (=good)" tropes that are created in our overly self-satisfied empire of good.
| But the virus is chinese, its not like we are saying oh china evil! We are just saying china is trying to hide itself from the blame, wich is very plausible for a country that has concentration camps and is trying to take away the liberty of their own citizens in a city that is trying to be democratic

Some people prefer awareness and facts over expectations and rumors. Stop shitting up the tread with off topic nonsense.
Start a new thread if you want to discuss stuff such as American cultural values or medias coverage of Covid-19.

Make sure to read the whole rapport before you start complaining again. I'm not responding to any more of your posts if the answer is explained in the rapport(or if you continue to be off-topic).
| >>675863 Der Spiegel is a fucking bullshit news source. Clickbait is their business model. That's why you have that title and image. The title translates to:
"Made in China
Coronavirus
When globalization becomes a deadly threat"
Fuck them.
| Isn't China currently downplaying the new strain of H1N1 too? Even the CDC is beginning to take action. How do they keep getting away with this?

Forgive me mother for I have sinned.
| >China is spreading false information on the coronavirus.
Nothing new then.
| >>676127
the themes are interesting: "weak democracies" and "successful Chinese response" (indeed, all the talk was: there are advantage to being a dictatorship, you can solder people in their building and limit the spread!); and the conspiracy theories. Once you spread enough alternative versions of events, everyone of them is weakened and manipulable.

If you look at global tendencies, you will see that china is just ahead of it's time. The goals and behavior of western political-economical elites and their media are no better than chinese or russian ones. They are too highly antidemocratic and immorally and only held back by slowly dying progressive achievements and institutions.
| The corona crisis reveals once more the massive bias in western media concerning western self portrayal and reception of russia and china. The real geopolitical and economical motivations are actively hidden behind a thin layer of empty ethical/humanitarian promises - just like it is the case in china and russia. Entire humanity marches into the wrong direction, and some believe they are better because they march slower. It's like a bad joke.

While your classification is correct, it still represents how western media generally work.
| Anyone who likes to research and look up the news can check out the facts that France had human to Human transmission of a "virus" in their athletes since October of last year around the time of the Wuhan military games which they went to at the time and France didn't tell anybody and they also refuse to test those athletes for covid because they don't want to know and they don't want the world to know what's going on with that situation.

>Make your own research
Why not post sources instead? If you can't back up your statements with facts I'm gonna call it bullshit.
| >>676294 look it up yourself if you want. I mean I'm sure if you really want to know you could and then you can seem whether those sources are credible or not for yourself
| see whether* damn is it the auto correct or do I have a tumor growing in my brain I've been screwing up sentences a lot recently.
| >>677013
I can already tell it's not credible since even the person posting it doesn't know enough about the topic to prove it.
| They updated gene data and all the symptoms they found, and reported every infected area to let you be aware. What else do you want them to do? let those 2 government act like your mother and telling you to put on your mask everyday?
| >>677552
> What else do you want them to do?
Not spreading lies and propaganda that literally kills people?
Why would you even defend these actions?
| Could you tldr the subject in question for me? It's too long to read. Is false information in question - America being highly pandemic with Corona?
