The now deleted death threat tweet by China's consul sent in response to PM Takahashi's stmnt about the existential threat from a Chn war against Taiwan. Consul said sth like: “We have no choice but to cut off that dirty head that wantonly charged in without a moment's hesitation. Are y'all ready?”

The original offensive tweet by China's consul sent as a response to PM Takahashi's stmnt about the existential threat from a Chn war against Taiwan. Mr Consul said sth like: “We have no choice but to cut off that dirty head that wantonly charged in without a moment's hesitation. Are y'all ready?”

I have only seen polite paraphrasings so far, but what the consul said seems akin to what that famous Queen shouted to Alice: 'Off with her head'!

Also delighted that our Swedish MEPs delegates are united on this demand to China. Left, right, center don't matter here.
We all demand China release our citizen #GuiMinhai.
It has been ten years. That's ten years too much. Do it now!

EU Parliament votes 546-3 demanding #China frees our citizen #guiminhai whom they have detained for 10 years now.
Shame on China, and, shame on the absentee MEPs and the 3 naysayers who apparently like torture. But despite the baddies, our broad unity sends a strong signal to China. Enough!

Ni borde ju ta upp hur AI förleder oss, vilket är den stora huvudfrågan här.

AI arbetar genom att presentera något som trovärdigt, det kvittar om det är falskt/hallucinerat.

Detta transformerar och förpestar nu hela det publika rummet, och hotar demokratin.

Heder åt Busch för ursäkten.

Intressant exempel på hur Google AI ljuger för oss:

Google låtsas inte veta att svenska ministrar & diplomater officiellt firar Kinas nationaldag, både i Stockholm, i Shanghai osv

Istället hostar Google bara upp lite stöldgods taget från Wikipedia eller nåt. affarsvarlden.se/kronika/jojj...

However, the genocide IS carried out by the Communist Party government under the leadership of a fella who repeatedly & openly takes responsibility for it and the atrocities are carried out by its 100m members
Sorry, I will excuse anyone who says China's genocide of the Uyghurs is done by Communists
July 22, 2025 at 11:26 AM
China's shamelessly using fake bots to try to deny the genocide, even when tidbits emerge through the cracks, on the mass confiscation of ethnic Uyghur kids to force-train them as China's child soldiers--another video proof today.
Also see my exposure of the bots:

BTW, this are the top results on "Osaka Expo 2025" at SCMP ...

Is it just an accident? Given SCMPs history as 喉舌, I doubt that.

Rahile Dawut, the famous folklorist and anthropologist, is passing her 59th birthday in China's prisons, under a lifetime sentence for being an Uyghur woman scholar.

The Chinese regime is such cowards, they will not even reveal her whereabouts or status or anything. They are the criminals.

Family separation & mass child confiscation:

China does it on a vast scale, but few talk about it.

Uyghur children permanently separated and systematically beaten if they dare speak their own language, has likely surpassed the million mark.

"Regimen i Kiev" inkl. felstavat Kyiv?
-- Vore intressant om Hedvig Eriksson eller hennes redaktion @svtnyheter.bsky.social kunde förklara sig.
Det ser anskrämligt putinistiskt ut. Som att kalla Tibet för Xizang, eller Taiwan för en del av Kina.

Meanwhile the US govt official press secretary sarcastically mocked their own termination of US soft power, by saying "Goodbye"--in 20 languages(!!).

So now, America does not want to reach those 100s of millions of people who tuned in. The world does not matter any more. The world tunes out.

By chance, my search engine came across a Chinese social media article about the ingenious histoprical Uyghur underground irrigration systems built in the past.

"Xinjiang green oasis civilization"

Now if you click on it, it says: "That article no longer exists."

This is what shameless looks like: Thailand's government tonight used buses with blacked out windows to transport the Uyghur refugees they held for 10 years, to the airport in the middle of the night, out of view of the press--back to China's torture camps. Thailand obeys China: Never mind torture

All five of them! The five HK women that China put a bounty on, hunting them around the globe. Event on March 4, 2025

News keep coming from China's genocide...Exterminating native names is one part of it:
www.rfa.org/english/uygh...

Ghojaniyaz Yollugh Tekin's research at the Aksu Education Institute was about Uyghur place names and their historical and geographical background ..

So of course! 17 years to life.

Actually Hitler loved the extermination of the Indians.
Read all about it... Also it's a lot like China or Ukraine TODAY, complete with the mass kidnappings of children.

I think the key question has to be how they dealt with the key element of the Nezha story: the Oedipal tension between the superboy and his father the king. Is it covered up, to promote the patriarchal dictatorship? @stephenmcdonell.bsky.social
