CHINA

Reminds me of one of the plot lines on season 2 of House of Cards, with the Chinese billionaire worried he'd be executed if he had to go back to China. I always thought that was a little too extreme to be believable.

US urges calm after China tells Taiwan independence means war

Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said at an earlier press conference that recent "military activities" in the Taiwan Straits "are necessary actions to address the current security situation" there and then he warned, "Those who play with fire will burn themselves, and ‘Taiwan independence’ means war."

 

Wonder how Biden will respond to his employer, er, ally.

China accused of trying to indoctrinate American children

Critics say Beijing is trying to indoctrinate U.S. students into liking the communist system.

"What we see from the Chinese Communist Party is they found a loophole," charges Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn.

"They looked at this as a part of their soft power and a way to push their propaganda."

Blackburn, and others, are taking aim at a Chinese educational program that is taught in some of our nation's elementary and high schools, known as Confucius classrooms. The lessons are backed by Beijing’s Confucius Institute, a global educational program that has been widespread in U.S. universities.

However, some of the institutes have been shut down and kicked off American campuses, accused of spreading pro-China content in their curriculum. Now U.S. educational experts are worried that a generation younger than college-age is also being targeted.

"It's deeply alarming to see the propaganda being taught to American students, but it's even more alarming to see the way that the institutions that students depend on their schools, their teachers, their principals, administrators, how these institutions and these leaders are being molded and shaped to accept the Chinese government's incursions and even to promote them in the name of globalism and intercultural communication," says Rachelle Peterson, Senior Research Fellow at the National Association of Scholars.

Peterson charges Beijing’s real goal is to spread Chinese Communist Party policies in the American educational system. The institute's lessons, which include offering the Mandarin language and Chinese culture -- also according to critics -- censor the truth.

This sounds like something you could've read in the 1930s... You don't need to gas millions of people when you can simply sterilize all of the women.

This upsets me. I think it's pretty reasonable to believe that the British Broadcasting Corporation is in the wrong here. @Redondo, can you actually point me to any information that confirms that China is a bad actor?

Look, I get that @Redondo thinks China is doing shady things, but all he has to go on is lies. China is pretty fantastic and their government is good to the people.
