    Mmm mmmm hogs are gonna love this slop and extra bullet in the chamber of their racism for years to come

    Also my first question when someone is accused, now admitted (hope she got a good agreement because it says the max is 10 fucking years…), of “spreading propaganda” for a foreign nation and especially China which is constantly lied about is “What did they say?” “Was it true or false?” It seems, to me, that if the statements are true (spoiler: they were), then the problem should probably be with the American media counterparts who are lying about the Chinese government. But that’s way too sane.

    The piece refuted reports of the persecution, forced labor, and abuse of Uyghers in China’s Xinjiang province, stating, “There has never been genocide in Xinjiang or forced labor in the region’s cotton fields or any other sector.”

    That’s what she posted apparently btw.

    I guess the only notable thing to me is that she did apparently actually receive communications from China. What if she had just reported the publicly available information without contacting anyone in China? Literally the “crime” here appears to be that part. “You told the truth, but you got told to do it and paid to do it.” Meanwhile if you’re an American and an Israeli tells you a lie that you publish uncritically “You lied, you got paid for it, but oh well.” Hmm.

      Note that you can literally do exactly what she did without changing any element of it in regards to Israel and nobody will bat an eye. In fact, you can even travel to Israel to get first hand instruction and it still won’t be a problem.

      “Truth” is relative to the beholder in liberalism. Her statement were against the ruling class consensus and thus can be considered factually untrue by them according to their worldview. The opposite goes for justifications for the Palestinian genocide. The genocide is justified (and not a genocide) according to the ruling class, so any reporting funded by the zionist entity is considered “truthful” and thus not propaganda.
