Nury Vittachi: WHEN EUROPEAN LEADERS refused to back the US’s anti-China campaign, internet connections were shut down to ensure no outside heard the discussion, a report from the site said.
.
It happened during the Saturday evening discussion at the G-7 meeting in Cornwall, UK.

TOUGH LINE
The problem: All parties agreed that China (like France, Indonesia and others) was taking a tough line on violent Islamist radicalism.
.
But America is using “Uyghur rights groups” financed by the CIA’s regime change unit to exaggerate the process into a horrific “worse than the Holocaust” narrative in a bid to get the world on its side in an economic war against the Chinese, who are working to rise above their “developing nation” status.
.
As part of the strategy, US leader Joseph Biden wanted the G7’s joint communique to mention a recent chapter of the US-penned narrative, which is to paint entrepreneurs who employ Uyghur staff as monsters who run slave camps. The UK’s Boris Johnson and Canada’s Justin Trudeau said they would back it, but European countries declined, knowledgeable sources said.

COINCIDENTAL TIMING
It is worth noting that Amnesty International and the New York Times both “coincidentally” released “unverified” reports of atrocities in Xinjiang, presented as fact, to bolster Biden’s claim.
.
The NYT report repeated Adrian Zenz’s IUD statistics, omitting to note that they had long been debunked, and contained an absurd reference to “the destruction of Hong Kong”, despite the fact that Hong Kong is now statistically the world’s healthiest and one of the world’s wealthiest cities.

SECRET CENSORS
After the meeting, a Biden spokesman tried to make the fight sound trivial. “There is a little differentiation, I think I would say, within—within, I think, the spectrum of how hard they would push on some of these issues,” reporters were told.
.
But insiders told reporters that the quarrel over the US narrative got so heated that censors snapped into action.
.
“The disagreements, aired during a session that at one point became so sensitive that all internet was shut off to the room, pitted European nations against the United States, Britain and Canada,” according to a CNN report.
.
It was unthinkable that the people of the world should hear the discussion and be enlightened.

VAGUE REFERENCES

And what happened in the end? The anti-China hawks lost, the Europeans won. The communique, when it was published, made only vague references to Hong Kong and Xinjiang, and no mention of slave labor.
.
Even with Amnesty International and the NYT backing them up, the US State Department lost this round.

NOT FOOLED
In related news, a classic idiom has been updated: “You can’t fool all the people all the time, even if you are richest country in the world spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to make people hate a developing country.”
.
That’s good news for people everywhere, including Americans, many of whom are no fans of covert US activities overseas.

Peace.
