No, it has not turned around. It’s gotten even worse since.

But there is no reason imho to repost things that old because we know this already. If we start posting things from last year because they didn’t get better we might soon have a lot of re-reads.

In addition, I don’t see how this is related to Canada.

It’s just another post in OP’s eternal propaganda mission. To give you an idea what I mean: China’s minority policy hasn’t turned around. Russia is still waging a war against Ukraine. Iran is still threatening protesters at home. Should we post all these here in the Canada community?

This article has been published 4 months ago.

I guess the author is referring to Mr. Carney’s speech in Davos soon after his visit to China where he ‘revived’ ties with Beijing, apparently ignoring its human rights violations.

Let’s hope the best. Sweden has just deployed Gripen in Iceland as part of its Nato air policing according to a report:

The deployment has also provided Sweden with an opportunity to demonstrate the Gripen’s capabilities to Canada. SAAB is seeking to persuade Ottawa to revisit its decision to purchase 88 American F-35 jets produced by Lockheed Martin, offering instead to manufacture Gripens in Canada and create 10,000 jobs.

There are a lot more examples, unfortunately. But I guess the author is referring to Mr. Carney’s speech in Davos soon after his visit to China where he ‘revived’ ties with Beijing, apparently ignoring its human rights violations.

What kind of news is tthis?

Rule 1: Title must match the article headline

• Russia’s losses amount to 65,000 soldiers dead or injured over the last two months alone

• Russian fatalities in Ukraine in the four years of the full-scale war are five times greater than all Russian and Soviet wars since World War Two combined

• Moscow’s losses in Ukraine are now more than 17 times greater than the Soviet Union’s losses in Afghanistan (1979-1989) and 11 times greater than Russian forces killed in both Chechen wars (1994-1996, 1999-2009)

• In January, Zelenskiy said 50,000 Russian losses per month would be “the optimal level” to ensure Russian losses in Ukraine became unsustainable for Moscow to replace with new recruits

I get your point, although we should not generalize as there are many people who stick to independent information.

I agree that here on Lemmy we see a lot of this bit of human psychology, though. Tankies like OP do it all the time. Their alt accounts’ post histories have a special spin in that they (rightfully) condemn Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians, for example, while in their .ml communities they are literally cheering Russia’s atrocities against Ukrainian civilians.

As one study says:

… The presence of left-wing extremism on the Lemmygrad. ml instance of the decentralized social media platform Lemmy, from its launch in 2019 up to a month after the bans of the subreddits r/GenZedong and r/GenZhou … reveal a substantial increase in user activity and toxicity levels following the migration of these subreddits to Lemmygrad. ml. …

[Users] frequently share posts that support authoritarian regimes, as seen in their support for China, North Korea, and Russia. Moreover, their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, we observe anti-Zionist and antisemitic behaviors, which show similarities to right-wing extremism … Our analysis suggests a concerning endorsement of authoritarian actions and extremist rhetoric on Lemmygrad. ml, further indicating that left-wing extremist communities on decentralized platforms should receive more attention from the academic community.

It’s a deeply disturbing mindset.

[Edit typo.]

Yes, but that is not news at all. If they are serious about that, they could at least post a real article about it instead of just some social media comment no one knows its even real.

That’s cheap anti-Western propaganda provided by hexbear.

… if Canada were to team up with China in a humanitarian effort …

I would agree Canada to send oil to Cuba, but Canada doesn’t need China for this. And China’s own support for Cuba doesn’t reflect ‘humanitarian effort’ but rather an attempt to gain influence in the region. Very much as the US administration, China has no interest in humanitarian assistance, they seek leverage over others to exploit them for their own goals.

There are ‘free’ media trips to Israel, China, the US and many other countries, and (almost) all are paid by their governments. This is not really new.

Just read and wanted to post the same story. Here is an archived version: https://archive.ph/YNOqG

Chinese propagandists spread that false news heavily also here on Lemmy (you’ll easily find the posts), despite the fact that even a quick research using easily available data has proven otherwise.

No country is on track, especially not the biggest polluters like China and Russia.

Irrespective of the content: If you’re not a bot trained on absurdly toxic language you should definitely stay away from whereever you learned such behaviour. And it’s also good to go out sometimes and touch some grass. Jesus Fucking Christ.

The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post is a propaganda medium under the censorship rule of the Chinese Communist Party. This is not a credible source.

I firmly believe that China wants both a weak Russia and a weak Europe, or at least a Europe that is distracted by the Ukraine war. Beijing wants the war to prolong as long as it gets, but they don’t want neither side to win imo.

In a letter to the Financial Times entitled “The scenario that economic warfare experts fear the most” was enlightening, Eric Golson, Associate Professor of Economics, University of Surrey int the UK, provides valuable insights about why China support Russia, and possible consequences as well as necessary reactions by the UK and West:

… Despite the public displays of unity between Xi and Putin, China has a vested interest in a prolonged conflict. Like the US, it benefits from a weakened Russia, allowing Beijing to expand its geopolitical influence while Moscow remains distracted and depleted.

The scenario which concerns economic warfare specialists most is a Russian failure in Ukraine followed by internal Russian fragmentation, continuing the imperial disintegration that began in 1991. In that event, China could expand north and east, extending influence into oil and gas-rich regions such as Kamchatka, Sakhalin and parts of the Sakha region. These are territories China once held under the Qing dynasty. Control of this energy would strengthen China’s global position and reduce its vulnerability to pressure over Taiwan and the South China Sea. This is a plausible outcome if the Ukraine war drags on, yet there is little evidence of serious contingency planning in Whitehall or Washington … [Archived]
