Video: Highlights: US journalist: When I came to China, I realized it’s the opposite of what I read at Voice of America 亮點：美國記者：當我來到中國時，我意識到這與我在美國之音讀到的相反
Does Western media’s coverage of China truly reflect reality? U.S. journalist Bello Galadanchi, who worked for VOA previously, told CGTN, “When I came to China, I realized it’s the opposite of what I read. How come I didn’t know that this country actually does exist and why are these people so happy?” 西方媒體對中國的報導是否真實反映了現實？ 曾在美國之音工作的美國記者貝洛·加拉丹奇告訴 CGTN，“當我來到中國時，我意識到這與我讀到的相反。我怎麼不知道這個國家確實存在，為什麼這些人如此 快樂的？”
More than 800,000 Americans have died of COVID19! US is self-promoting freedom, democracy, human rights & the rule of law around the world. But US Gov’t is unable to keep her citizens alive! How can dead people enjoy freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law?
Pews Research: About three-in-ten U.S. adults are now religiously unaffiliated
The secularizing shifts evident in American society so far in the 21st century show no signs of slowing. The religiously unaffiliated share of the public is 6 percentage points higher than it was five years ago and 10 points higher than a decade ago. Christians continue to make up a majority of the U.S. populace, but their share of the adult population is 12 points lower in 2021 than it was in 2011.

Video: US’s Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 extended. It is an open season for AngloSaxon Chinese haters & racists in America. 美國 1882 年排華法案得到延長. 這是美國西人仇中種族主義者大開殺戒的開放季節.
Using fake Xinjiang Uighur propaganda & fake news, US government placed eight more Chinese companies including drone manufacturer DJI on an investment blocklist after imposing investment restrictions on SenseTime, resorting to a de facto “decoupling”. It is extremely irresponsible if in the end the U.S. side forces global capital reallocate based on its biased policies, which will impede global economic growth. 美國政府利用虛假的新疆維吾爾語宣傳和虛假新聞，在對商湯實施投資限制後，訴諸事實上的“脫鉤”，將包括無人機製造商大疆在內的另外八家中國公司列入投資黑名單。 美方如果最終基於其偏頗政策強行重新配置全球資本，將阻礙全球經濟增長，是極其不負責任的.

The United States has the highest number of deaths from the epidemic in the world, and the leader who can’t even save the lives of the people leads the world to talk about democracy, and there are a group of escorts and responses. Isn’t it ridiculous and sad?
Bhutan, once voted the happiest country in the world, is also the venue of the century wedding of famous movie stars Tony Leung and Carina Lau, with a population of about 800,000.
If one day, all 800,000 people in this paradise under the Himalayas died suddenly, what kind of shock would you cause?
Or, if you think Bhutan is too far away, you can use Macau, which is close to the horizon, as an example. Macau has a population of 680,000. If a plague kills all 680,000 people in Macau, will everyone experience the horror?
Therefore, I wonder why the world can turn a blind eye to the new crown epidemic in the United States to the point of insensitivity?
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the United States has killed 800,000 people. It is a small country with a population of 800,000. The population of a country on the earth has died, but the news has not been reported. Everyone has no panic or sadness, as if that 80 Wan, it’s just a bunch of ants without nerves, it’s not a pity to die.
I still remember the outbreak in India in April this year. The world focused on crematoriums in India, floating corpses in the Ganges and cow dung on festivals… The news went viral for at least a month. At that time, the cumulative number of deaths in India was 300,000. After the United States and Brazil, it ranks third in the “most dead” countries, but it has become the focus of the world, and everyone hears of India’s discoloration.
However, the United States, which has always topped the global epidemic list, has the most infections and deaths, but it has the least public attention. The Americans continued to go everywhere, and no country was daring enough to deny them entry. The U.S. government has also turned a blind eye to the loss of every nation’s life. Recently, it was ashamed to organize a World Democracy Summit to brag and tell the world how democratic the United States is.
A leader who can’t even save the lives of his people, a leader who once took over the country and killed twice as many people, led the world to talk about democracy, and there are a lot of humbugs cheering on the gong. It is ridiculous and even sadder!
In fact, what are the conditions for democracy? A clean system? Open system? One-person, one-vote universal suffrage? ……neither. The most important condition of democracy is: you have your life, only you can talk about it. No life, what democracy is talking about?
On January 19 this year, Biden, who was just elected President of the United States, took his wife, Vice President He Jinli, and her husband to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on the night before the inauguration. They lit 400 lights to mourn the 40 who died in the new crown epidemic. Millions of Americans. At the same time, the Empire State Building in New York, the Seattle Space Needle, and landmark buildings across the United States also lit up at the same time. That night, Biden encouraged the people to light candles and ring bells in windows and churches to show solidarity in fighting the epidemic.
Americans are best at creating romance. It’s one thing for the president and his wife to stand in front of the Lincoln Memorial and promise 400,000 dead souls. The country they are in charge of doubling the number of people killed by the epidemic to 800,000 within 11 months is another. Going on.
That night, the Washington National Cathedral sounded 800 death knells to mourn the 800,000 nationals who died of the new crown. Continue the romance, continue no one to pursue, no one to blame, natural selection, weed out the weak and stay strong, and finally understand the so-called democracy in the United States. The truth is that there are only two words: you die and you do.
SCMP Alex Lo: The Daily Mail only repeated the MI6 chief’s dubious claims about China’s “debt trap” diplomacy, many points of which have proved to be factually false over time. 南華早報《每日郵報》只是重複了軍情六處負責人關於中國“債務陷阱”外交的可疑說法，隨著時間的推移，其中許多觀點都被證明是錯誤的假新聞.
Spymasters the world over are in the business of dissimulation. But if you are the new head of British intelligence, Richard Moore, mainstream media in Britain from the BBC to the Daily Mail will take your words as gospel.
The BBC went out of its way to twist the words of an American academic authority on the subject to make her appear to say the opposite of her actual position.
In his interview, Moore claimed that the debt trap had allowed China to be given the use of ports – which could be used as naval bases – in countries which are unable to repay loans.
He was, no doubt, thinking of the saga of the Sri Lankan port of Hambantota.
This claim, which is now known to be false, has been made by many people, including former US vice-president Mike Pence and former US national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
Deborah Brautigam, a professor at Johns Hopkins University and Meg Rithmire, of the Harvard Business School, have investigated and found there was never a debt swap for assets.
The BBC asked Brautigam for comments. The result so infuriated her she posted online a rebuttal, titled “BBC Misrepresents my Views on ‘Debt Trap Diplomacy’”.
“[Moore] said that the Chinese have deliberately used debt as leverage to acquire strategic assets,” she wrote.
“I outlined why this idea had little basis in fact, drawing on my extensive research with Meg Rithmire about the Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka and other cases, and that of other researchers. I gave examples from Montenegro, Kenya, Zambia, and other places where these fears have been trumpeted in the media, but without evidence to support them.”
It’s not for nothing that we in this business are called hacks.
She continued: “I listened to the BBC and was horrified to find that … they completely discarded all the evidence I presented … about why that conventional wisdom was not correct.”
Of course, the idea never makes sense. In the jungle of international politics, a lender like China could end up with nothing, rather than the assets desired. A new government or a leadership change in the borrowing country can renege on a deal and there is not much Beijing can do.
