Steve HermanChinese state media are celebrating President Donald Trump’s move to gut Voice of America and other U.S. government-funded news outlets that push back against authoritarian regimes. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/chinese-state-media-cheer-trumps-decision-axe-voice-america-rcna196663
dl1thm@w7voa that proves how many folks used VoA as a reliable source of information in countries with no free press.
Stu Duerson, machina exo deusIn the Old West (according to TV legend), at least a party got "...a fair trial, and a fair hangin' ". Trump doesn't even believe in the most gossamer excuse of a hearing.
It's the Wild West without a even a glint of justice. Trump is the ultimate black hat. He deserves any end that befalls him.

Pablo Rrrrrrr@w7voa I’m sorry man, hope you land a good job somewhere.
demi7en 🎗🇪🇺@w7voa Another short story when the CCP allowed their Chinese subjects to celebrate online:
"Let's jump back to autumn 2001 when the *republican* neo-con administration of George W. Bush launched the second Iraq War for which the USA is still paying heavy financial and *reputational* cost.
On the early Chinese forums people were delirious with joy. (i.e. "permitted speech" in the PRC)
Just a year earlier in 2000 the USA had agreed to allow #China to join the #WTO... and in 1994, only a few years after the #Tiananmen massacre, the USA had handed the CCP/PRC the coveted Most Favored Nation (MFN) status.
Yet for the Chinese regime it's not enough for them to win; the USA and all other non-submissive democracies must lose.
I was still rather dismayed back in 2001, but only until I understood the policy."
NB: This is part of a post I made on Nov 7, 2024 in response to the Chinese *celebrating* the result of the most recent US presidential elections...

It's a little odd that the Chinese communist dictatorship never allows its subjects to celebrate when the United States or the Democratic Left succeeds in something... 🧐

A "fun" anecdote: First now, 2024. (Note that in the #PRC messages that stay up for more than few minutes let alone go viral are de facto sanctioned by the #CCP dictatorship.) 👉️ On Chinese social media platform Weibo, one of the most liked comments is from a user saying: “There will be a lot of fun to watch over the next four years.” 👈️ (BBC running commentary on you-know-what) https://www.bbc.com/news/live/czxrnw5qrprt Now let's jump back to autumn 2001 when the *republican* neo-con administration of George W.
