Or was that just them

2021-01-05 18:50:08 UTC  

Isn’t that... what’s that called... fact checking?

2021-01-05 18:50:11 UTC  

No wrong word

2021-01-05 18:50:44 UTC  

China Uncensored has been reporting on Chinese forces aggression for quite some time. But I don't know if they have done anything recent. Kind of stepped away from the news due to holidays.

2021-01-05 18:50:59 UTC  

Oh I’m happy you brought him up

2021-01-05 18:51:06 UTC

I can put this <#763630921403465728> if you want

2021-01-05 18:52:49 UTC  

But this is all fucking bought and payed for by Falun Gong

CGTN added, “It asked the armed forces to maintain a high level of readiness and step up emergency and combat training.” Xi Jinping wants “full-time combat readiness”. He also wants the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to “act at any second”.

As per the Chinese state media, “Stressing strengthening the rule of law over military training, the order said training management should be reformed and the evaluation system should be improved.”

Xi, who literally commands Chinese armed forces, has also ordered the PLA to “substantially increase” the use of technology in its exercises. He also said, “[The PLA must] increase the integration of new equipment, new forces and new combat realms into training and combat systems.”

..........
But within China, Xi anticipates a major chaos. Following the Pandemic, economic slowdown and global backlash against China, Xi is facing strong anti-incumbency. Also, Xi administration is losing the faith of investors- both domestic and foreign, which is why the Chinese President actually targeted Jack Ma.

What are you trying to say by that?

2021-01-05 18:56:51 UTC  

you figure it out

2021-01-05 18:56:55 UTC  

Cuz the article by TFI says he’s embracing being monitored

2021-01-05 18:57:06 UTC  

And this says he’s not being monitored he’s just lying low

2021-01-05 18:57:15 UTC  

So either eeeeeeveryone is lying

2021-01-05 18:57:27 UTC  

Or just a few clearly biased sources

2021-01-05 18:57:31 UTC  

You tell me

2021-01-05 19:01:26 UTC  

So what exactly is the crux of the issue with epoch times? Do you fault them for association, the articles, is it both? If so, then post a conflicting source that meets the standards of both.

2021-01-05 19:01:39 UTC  

I think that would resolve the confusion on everyone's part.

2021-01-05 19:08:18 UTC  

Look at this interesting bit

2021-01-05 19:08:30 UTC  

This was released in Oct 2020

2021-01-05 19:08:42 UTC  

The same info is only now released on media you trust

2021-01-05 19:09:08 UTC  

Could it be that it is used for another purpose

2021-01-05 19:09:44 UTC  

Like for example, fearmongering and further distrust of the CCP

2021-01-05 19:10:23 UTC  

(For clarification here, I’m not defending the CCP, I just don’t want my info to come from illegitimate sources backed by cults and maniacs)

2021-01-05 19:12:43 UTC  

Jack Ma, the multibillionaire founder of tech companies Alibaba and Ant Group, went missing after criticizing China's financial system by calling for changes and reforms.
>>>>>
Apparently Ma would not agree with your evaluation of things... fotrunately he is safe for now

2021-01-05 19:13:19 UTC  

Where is this from?

2021-01-05 19:14:36 UTC  

So the problem I have is, by your rubric, would posting CNN be considered a good source? Like if we applied the scrutiny of association and not the quality of the article, does your post count?

2021-01-05 19:15:13 UTC  

You asked me to find a source

2021-01-05 19:15:28 UTC  

CNN, to me, is as reliable as The Epoch Times

2021-01-05 19:16:05 UTC  

The article in itself doesn’t matter in this scenario but it shows that the information was out there way before

2021-01-05 19:16:06 UTC  

I asked to find a source that fits the rubric you want for the epoch times.

2021-01-05 19:17:05 UTC  

Cause if we are using associations and not the work as a rubric, then what exactly are we left with. I don't mind CNN when they get it right. Same should go for all publications.

2021-01-05 19:20:29 UTC  

@ToxicTransgender if you had to look up a source for the events of Tiannamen Square, what would you use? I always find new sources articles about past events to be interesting litmus test for how diligent their work is.

2021-01-05 19:21:34 UTC  

I could use anything to look for Tiananmen Square but it’s accuracy I couldn’t necessarily judge since I’m not too well learned on that subject
