@VOANews And only in Taiwan, right?
Nowhere else?
Not everywhere else....?

I don't use the term #leftunity because there's a lot of discourse around it, but I do believe that on the ground, in the streets, and on many particular issues, #communist and #anarchist people can work together (and must). I think that better terms might be #unitedfront or #leftalliance, as unity as a term papers over meaningful differences in the two political ideologies.
I think that #anarchists as a whole, could stand to be more critically supportive of past and current socialist experiments around the world, while #communists (#marxistleninists and #maoists) should accept that there is sound anarchist theory that might not be reflected in many self-identified anarchists. After all, how many Leninists can honestly claim to have done their own reading?

An informative nitter🧵by the WaPo article's co-author, #ShibaniMahtani:
「When I started conceptualizing my new role as an investigative correspondent, I knew one of the stories I wanted to dig into was how & why extreme pro-Beijing narratives are hardening within parts of multicultural Singapore, my home. Here is what we found:」
「In an ecosystem where people including my friend's parents get forwarded extremely pro-CCP messages that veer on explicit Han chauvinism within this multi-racial society, Zaobao -- a respected, trusted newspaper backed by the state -- can provide a counterweight. It has not.」

⚠️ The de-facto capture of Singapore would be a huge strategic win for the Chinese Communist Party, and they are making solid progress in realizing that morsel of the CCP's "china dream".
Historically Hong Kong — "CCP's banking colony" — has been CCP's main avenue of economic and foreign trade manipulation, akin to a poker swindler holding two sets of cards. Since the 2019-2020 crushing of #Hongkongers' hopes of ever gaining 'treaty-enshrined' civil or human rights, the manipulative value of HK is on a terminal decline. Capturing Singapore to act as CCP's new banking and business colony would indeed recharge CCP's ability to project power in the region and globally.
Better yet, SG would become a hostile port to the US and other countries in the alliance of democracies if and when the CCP decides to, say, invade #Taiwan.
It has been a long game decades in the making, but CCP's humongous United Front tentacles working to weaponize and 'han-chauvinize' its *subjects* in the large and highly ethnocentric Chinese diaspora are bearing bittersweet fruit.
Oh, and the inner workings of those fancy F35s must be quite fascinating.

⬆️ 「... a front group for a Chinese propaganda network that’s borrowing tactics from Russia’s infamous 2016 troll farm.
Social media giant Meta announced on Wednesday that it had booted 107 accounts in a China-linked network behind the phony news outlet dubbed the New Europe Observation. The outlet, which Meta researchers say was linked to a Chinese technology company, appeared aimed at trying to stir up unrest in European countries.」

They even set up a business in Londograd like real pros do... Good men!
In 2020 the CCP imposed their "national security law" in #Hongkong, with the sole purpose of protecting the never-elected #dictatorship from people demanding their UN-enshrined civil rights. Incidentally that "law" entitles the CCP to arrest, and imprison *for life*, anyone they deem hostile to their dictatorship — *anywhere in the world*.
Maybe these totally accidental hatemongers running businesses in Europe could be at least invited to explain their rationale behind these hate and anti-democracy campaigns there. The CCP or its UFWD naturally have *nothing* to do with these harmless pranks because they *never* interefere in other countries' internal affairs... (NB: definition of "countries" may vary)

Recommended read on Chinese Communist Partys global influence operations. The CCP does *not* want you know learn about this.
Remember the line about "China's peaceful rise" that foreign leaders swallowed along with hook and sinker? Read on...
“Most national security analysts in the United States will tell you that China presents a unique challenge to the U.S.-based order. What U.S. officials refer to as the “scope and scale” of the threat from Beijing outstrips that posed by other Western adversaries, even Russia, these officials say.
Yet the structure of China's intelligence apparatus remains relatively opaque. During the Cold War, the U.S. and its allies developed a granular understanding of the KGB, the Soviet Union’s main civilian intelligence agency, and the GRU, its military counterpart. It’s not that the CIA or the wider U.S. intelligence community had perfect insight into its main rival — far from it. But U.S. officials did have a clear sense of how the KGB functioned.
Not so with China, which remained cut off from the outside world for decades, and whose security services evolved in an isolated ideological hothouse. As China shed its isolationism and emerged as a world power, its intelligence operatives also fanned out across the globe.
But Western intelligence analysts were still looking through a glass, darkly, when it came to Beijing’s espionage abroad. That’s a gap that Alex Joske’s important new book, Spies and Lies: How China's Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the World, tries to fill. Joske, a former analyst with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, traces the evolution of the Ministry of State Security (MSS), China’s premier civilian intelligence agency, focusing on the MSS’s ubiquitous — and largely unknown— role in directing and executing Beijing’s influence operations abroad.”

☝️ Go and read, that is, unless you deliberately want to remain "blissfully unaware".
「In November 2020 The New York Times reported that a number of companies, including Nike, Coca-Cola, Apple, Adidas, Calvin Klein, Campbell Soup Company, Costco, H&M, Patagonia, Tommy Hilfiger and others, lobbied Congress to water down the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which was aimed at barring US companies from relying on the forced labour of Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in China’s Xinjiang region. The companies argued that the ban was too broad and would disrupt the global supply chain.
In September 2019, US billionaire Michael Bloomberg told Firing Line‘s Margaret Hoover that Xi Jinping “is not a dictator” and that he has to “satisfy his constituents”. He also argued that Chinese Communist officials “listen to the public”. Bloomberg’s media company has been criticized in the past for self-censoring in order not to upset the Chinese government.」

CW: An upsetting October 2022 incident of #antisemitism that deserves more attention
Wow this is a disturbing incident of #antisemitism let's not lose sight of the #intersectional #oppressions as we go down our rabbit holes of this that and the other. We need a #unitedfront against #fascism in ALL of its' manifestations.
