‘That’s a question for Apple’: White House dodges questions on why it has promised to ‘monitor’ Musk’s Twitter – while avoiding Tim Cook’s firm siding with Chinese government and making it harder for ‘zero COVID’ protesters to communicate

The White House was accused of double standards on Wednesday, as a senior spokesman deflected questions about Apple bowing to Chinese authorities, saying the tech giant was a private company, while the Biden administration says it is monitoring Twitter for misinformation.

During an appearance on Fox News, John Kirby, the National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications, said it was a case of comparing ‘apples and oranges.’

Conservatives have expressed fury with the White House, after it said it would be keeping ‘an eye on’ misinformation spread on Twitter, after Elon Musk bought the platform.

How we appeased China’s Zero-Covid regime

Western liberals cheered on Xi’s authoritarian measures

In the streets of China, people are rising up to reassert their human dignity in the face of the most dehumanising machine of social control in the world today: the Chinese Communist Party’s Zero-Covid terror-state.

For three years, the Chinese government has maintained its policy of draconian city-wide lockdowns, endless daily mass testing, and digital Covid-passes. It has set up vast camps to house those dragged into quarantine for weeks at a time, and, more recently, “closed-loop” factories.

China, Prisoner of Its Mistakes

The popular uprisings over Xi Jinping’s Zero Covid policy illustrate the limits common to all authoritarian regimes.

The popular uprisings taking place all over China, which are spontaneous and without leadership or definite ideology (even democratic), are in no way specifically Chinese; rather, they illustrate the limits of all authoritarian regimes in all civilizations. We can classify these limits according to a few universal principles that can now be applied to China, as they were to past fascist regimes and to the Soviet Union.

China 🇨🇳

What a brave girl. A real freedom fighter. Shame on the Chinese lockdown authoritarianism that caused this. But unlike our media, let’s not forget that scenes like this also occurred in many other countries around the world. #ChinaProtests pic.twitter.com/Gx03ID6Ed6

Trudeau says he has no knowledge of China funding federal candidates, sidesteps questions of election interference

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s never received any intelligence that China clandestinely funded federal candidates in the 2019 and 2021 elections but dodged repeated questions about whether he was ever informed of efforts by Beijing to interfere in Canadian elections or domestic politics.

The leaders of the Conservative Party and Bloc Québécois mounted a concerted bid on Tuesday to find out what exactly the Prime Minister knew about Chinese election meddling after the RCMP announced Monday it is investigating Chinese interference in Canadian affairs.

Canada won’t compromise values in relations with China, says foreign minister

Canada will work with China when needed – but challenge it when necessary, the country’s foreign minister said, as the two nations prepare to co-host a major environmental summit despite years of diplomatic tensions.

Speaking to the Guardian after her government released its long-awaited “Indo-Pacific Strategy”, Mélanie Joly said that Canada will “promote and defend” its national interests in a region where nations are jockeying for influence and power.

“We’re a Pacific nation and what happens there matters for Canada. The future of the Indo-Pacific is linked to ours,” she said.

In other words we’ll take our cues from Canada’s China class.

John Ivison: Canada’s modest Indo-Pacific ‘strategy’ has much to be modest about

One of the less appealing things about this country is that its big talk often outstrips its contribution.

We scored a goal in the World Cup and claimed history had been made. History would have been made if we’d won.

Ohio State Professor Says China Poses No Threat to the US

Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin contemptuously called Western intellectuals who unwittingly served communist objectives “useful idiots.” Ohio State University political science professor and Cato Institute senior fellow John Mueller may be auditioning for that role with his article in the National Interest titled “The United States Does Not Need to Contain China.”

Never trust the CATO institute.

China Protestors Call for End to CCP Rule

Extraordinary protests quickly spread across China over the weekend, including major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, since a fire Thursday claimed a reported 10 lives in an apartment block in Urumqi, in the northwestern part of the country.

China’s people were enraged by the regime’s COVID controls, which had prevented firefighters from reaching the scene of the tragedy in time. “This is people past their breaking point,” tweeted CNN’s Selina Wang on Sunday.

Junior the hypocrite says Canada stands with people ‘expressing themselves’ amid China COVID-19 protests …

Canada stands with people “expressing themselves” in a rare wave of protests across multiple cities in China, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

He made the comment on his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday morning, as China grapples with its biggest public display of dissent since the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests — which ended in a massacre when the army violently crushed the student-led pro-democracy movement.

Canadians not so much

RCMP investigating Chinese interference in Canadian affairs, Commissioner says … Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink

The RCMP is investigating broad foreign interference by China in Canadian affairs, says Commissioner Brenda Lucki, but she declined to detail precisely what type of activities are being probed by the federal police force.

In a letter sent on Monday to a House of Commons committee studying possible Beijing interference in the 2019 general election, Commissioner Lucki said Mounties lacked evidence of wrongdoing in that vote but they are looking at wider interference by China, including “interference in democratic processes” in Canada.

Bullshit. The LPC and Canada’s China class won’t allow it.

Promoting Social Justice, Climate Change Cooperation in Indo-Pacific Does Nothing to Deter China

The Trudeau administration finally produced its vaunted “Canada’s Indo-Pacific Strategy” and it wasn’t worth the wait. To be fair, it’s not easy to write national strategy documents that are both vague and trite. But if you’re going to try, especially because you’re strongly suspected of having no strategy and no clue, you need to create something muscular.

The United States Must Go to War Against China’s Spies

In late October, U.S. prosecutors charged thirteen Chinese agents for conducting illegal operations in the United States. Unfortunately, only two of the suspects are in custody. The other eleven remain free to continue their espionage and intimidation operations against American victims from the same place they usually operate—China.

These cases illustrate how far behind U.S. law enforcement is in its fight to defend America from assaults by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). While indictments against Chinese agents are becoming more common, the perpetrators are rarely brought to justice.

Will China’s anti-lockdown protestors succeed?

Less than six weeks after Xi Jinping doubled down on his Zero Covid strategy, a swelling sea of discontent is finally breaking on its rocks. Outside the dining halls of two of the country’s most prestigious campuses, Peking University and Tsinghua University, small crowds of students risked their liberty over the weekend by chanting “freedom of expression, democracy and the rule of law”. According to one count, as of midday yesterday, there had been protests at more than 80 other universities, including in Shanghai and Beijing.

Poilievre Asks If Ottawa Will Speak Out Against Suppression of Chinese Protesters

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre today questioned the federal government on how it will respond to Beijing’s reported crackdown on protests that have been breaking out across the country in response to restrictive COVID-19 measures.

“There’s a wave of protests across China right now, and there are now reports of government crackdowns against those protests,” Poilievre said during question period in the House of Commons on Nov. 28.
