The same #LanlanYang is not appearing in court now, playing legal high-stakes games with #prosecutors and showing little respect for the #ruleoflaw.
Well, princelings in #China are above the law, so this behaviour should not come as a surprise.
There is plenty of specualtions linking #LanlanYang to no other than China's new strong guy #Xijinping. Unsurprisingly #censorship is running red-hot. And the #WuMao army goes to great lengths to kill the topic.

Also while we debate the notion of #voting/ not voting we need to consider two other forms of players here:

#Edgelords

They dont care about anything except watching the world burn. For lulz

#Trolls

Whether of the #domestic #rightwing or #vatnik/ #wumao variety, their point is to play #agentprovocateur, cosplaying #leftwing, and advance their #plutocrat/ #geopolitical agendas by suppressing the vote

#vote!

Die Gratis-Webzeitung Watson berichtet über die Nichtreaktion der offiziellen #Schweiz auf die #Wahlen in #Taiwan, während zugleich der Premierminister von #China mit allen Ehren empfangen wird. Und in den Kommentaren wimmelt es von Lügen und Fake News. Nein: Taiwaner fühlen sich NICHT als Chinesen, die Handelsbilanz der Schweiz mit China ist NICHT positiv und Taiwan ist NICHT mit Katalonien oder der Krim zu vergleichen. So viele #WuMao, ein Wahnsinn! https://www.watson.ch/schweiz/international/100194374-wahlen-in-taiwan-die-schweiz-fokussiert-lieber-auf-china
Taiwan wählt und die Schweiz «kuschelt» mit China

Taiwan hat einen Präsidenten gewählt. Es war ein starkes Signal an die Volksrepublik China. Die Schweiz aber vertieft lieber ihre Beziehungen mit Peking.

@torproject Not to mention it being used in more and more #Cyberfacist regimes to preemptively detain and harrass and detain people without charges.

And yes, that also happens in the global "west"...

So let the #Wumao at least work for their sweet entries manually farming #BridgeDB @ https://bridges.torproject.org aka.

WTF? #France goes full #Cyberfacist: #DGSI literally classified using #FullDiskEncryption, @[email protected] #TorBorwser, #Tails, @[email protected] and #VPN's as "suspicious activity" in terms of #terrorism... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyFL7KJGcC0 SERIOUSLY, DID THESE #MILINTEL IDIOTS DRANK SOME WINE WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL OR WHAT!?

One of #China's most abrasive and blunt #wolfwarrior diplomats has been shifted to a low-profile department.
I don't think anyone will miss toxic slime ball #ZhaoLijian aka Mr. Projection and his countless micro-aggressions against the West. Apart from China's nationalist #WuMao troll army, that is.

China’s ‘wolf warrior’ foreign affairs spokesperson moved to new role

Zhao Lijian's shift to low-profile department seen by some as a sign of Beijing softening its diplomatic strategy

The Guardian
When you get a passive-aggressive question on why you are always commenting on articles conc. #China (and commenting highly critically on the #CCP regime, that is) by a freshly registered user, I'd say that's mission accomplished in triggering a #wumao. A thing that I'd consider an achievement any day of the week.
And no: I'm not "obsessed" with China. But I may have a deeper interest and better sources than the average European.
#DownwiththeCCP and
democracy for West Taiwan!

In Cina gli #Twitter sulle proteste sono stati inondati di materiale pornografico

Wumao al lavoro

Algoritmo in palla
controllo totalmente assente

stamane i #wumao sono tornati a controllare anche fuori dalla Cina

l'intento è far passare i controlli di polizia come routinari

uno ha avuto il coraggio di dirmi che non è vero che la polizia controlla i telefoni dei cittadini

#A4Revolution #ChinaProtests

@john The Chinese #wumao (50 cent army - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party ) always has been active on #twitter to some extent. But now as #ElonMusk has opened the floodgates, Chinese #bots and #wumao will soon overshadow any authentic information. With the low skillset of many #SocialMedia users to detect #FakeNews, #twitter is on the way to pose an existential threat to society.

More in-depth information about the #wumao here:

50 Cent Party - Wikipedia

i **troll** online in cinese si chiamano #Wumao

esercito dei 50 centesimi

è il termine colloquiale utilizzato per indicare le persone pagate dalle autorità cinesi per scrivere commenti su Internet nel tentativo di manipolare l'opinione pubblica a beneficio del PCC
