HONG KONG—The Chinese government’s activity on Twitter and Facebook over its policies toward ethnic minorities in Xinjiang reached an all-time high last year, as Beijing sought to portray its approach, including use of widespread internment camps and surveillance, as beneficial to the remote northwestern region.
The frequency of tweets about Xinjiang from Chinese state media and diplomatic Twitter accounts increased to an average of nearly 500 tweets per month in 2020, up from about 280 per month the prior year, according to new research from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.
On Facebook, the group found, public pages operated by Chinese state media were some of the most popular sources for posts on Xinjiang.
Over the past few years, Chinese officials have dismissed reports by international journalists, firsthand accounts by former detainees and their family members, and government documents showing the internment and repression of mostly Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang as an effort to smear China.
Instead, the Chinese government has pushed an alternative story: that the region’s vast network of internment camps are vocational training centers, and that Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities there are happy citizens who can live their lives freely.

and none of it has worked because guess what FB + Twitter is banning the accounts like no tomorrow because they are Western platforms and Chinese does not have the reach or capability with domestic platforms

the net is closing because now world is very angry with Chinese over COVID and its attempted deception it tried to play to the world, this is what you call a PR disaster

worst part is Chinese are asking why people hate them

Oh no the world is using speech to counter US state propaganda lies with inconvenient facts on supposedly "free speech" plaforms controlled by the US regime, where it cobbles up indoctrinated Americans to stay in their propaganda bubble, subverting and outright banning all competitive systems leaving the US regime out of the loop. Thats not how its supposed to work. Isnt the sweeping censorship and supression of facts contradicting US regime propaganda lies and alternative reality narratives and open discrimination of users posting those inconvenient facts making it obvious enough that the truth isnt welcome on US regime controlled media platforms? Why wont the world understand? Why wont they just obediently listen to US statepropaganda? Why do does everyone hate American deception, smearing and condecending propaganda so much anyways? Wtf is their problem?

Free speech and free media is BS with western. It is only selective to fool people like you. If people really hates Chinese, those foreigner will have left China long ago and wouldnt even say those things for China. They are the one actual ground on China unlike some living in scottland and dont know a single thing on actual ground happening in China. Purely feed by western propangada.

Collaborating with countries who put Pakistan on terrorist sponsor list who until now sanction Pakistan. Then they will claim they are patriot of Pakistan but attack Pakistan most valuable allies.

Why does the EU continue to gloss over Pakistan's state-sponsored terrorism?

The European Union’s effort to combat global terrorism has a marked discrepancy, says Heinz K. Becker.

Drop the Pakistan flag, you dont deserve to fly one!
