Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's also an opportunity for the US to dial back the ludicrous propaganda, learn to compromise and cooperate. Imagine what could be achieved if the two countries worked together.

China and compromise?

Sorry. You must live in a different reality to me.

I don't live in an American propaganda bubble that's for sure

Does the nine dash line exist where you live?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Indeed it does, funny you should ask. The Taiwan authorities not only agree with and support the nine-dash line, but they also still claim all of Mongolia as well as parts of Russia, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Beijing government, much to Taiwan’s dismay, has long since signed treaties with all of them except for a small part of India which is still in dispute.

Of course, you wouldn’t know about that because the AP/Reuters/AFP cabal doesn’t tell you. It doesn’t sit well with the approved narrative. When it comes to global news they are the ones that cherry-pick what they think you should know.

There’s a link here that introduces and explains the modus operandi of these three news agencies. But you’ll hate it, you won’t read it.
