1/ This Bloomberg piece is an exercise in PRC propaganda. It claims PRC has "rights" to Taiwan (no such thing) and describes the PRC as "assertive" whereas it tags Lai as provocative in various ways. Utterly shameful. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

In today’s Wumao Soup, I’ll introduce how and where the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) online propaganda and influence operations work. Due to China’s massive population and advances in AI, CCP-aligned online content has become increasingly visible. 1/20

FBI chief @FBIDirectorKash nails it: "The CCP the adversary of our time." "Anyone that says otherwise is being selfish or lying to you or looking for financial gain," he says at the @NationalSheriff conference as he advocates for norther border vigilence.

One month after exposing a hospital’s gruesome organ harvesting of live patients, the whistleblower turns up dead. Classic CCP playbook: silence truth, protect profit, and bury crimes—literally. share.google/ZdnPzmJwoHmUwH…

Journalists: when you’re writing about Elon Musk starting a new political party, you should mention his ties to China. You can frame them positively or negatively, but they are so fundamentally important to Musk the businessman that you cannot overlook them.

Taiwan is not part of China. It is a vibrant, prosperous democracy composed of a people who generally do not consider themselves “Chinese.” You can even say that Taiwan is the opposite of China.

Wow, I thought it was misidentification but it appears to be the case that Christie Henry, Director of Princeton University Press @PrincetonUPress, did go to the Uyghur-populated region and regurgitate propaganda about coexistence in one of the heaviest policed places on earth.

I find the framing of Princeton University Press as helpless victims deeply problematic. These are some of the most educated people on earth at the top of the global academic pile, with access to experts. If they don’t know better, then the metric for accountability is moot.

U.S. supply chains should be clean, competitive, and free of CCP entanglements. No extending timelines to simply preserve CATL access to U.S. taxpayer dollars. We’ll build the future — but not with companies that answer to Beijing.

Interesting (and discouraging) example of how PRC desperation to whitewash their policies in Xinjiang hurts its international relations and makes it harder for those trying to maintain engagement with China. A 🧵regarding Princeton Press' trip to Xinjiang:
