    Xi says Happy New Year to Putin

    During a video call on Friday, the Russian president invited his
    Chinese
    counterpart to visit Moscow in the spring of 2023

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent New Year greetings to his Russian
    counterpart Vladimir Putin, Chinese state TV has reported. In his
    telegram to Xi, the Russian head of state, in turn, expressed
    confidence
    that cooperation between Beijing and Moscow will strengthen further in
    2023....

    Daily Wire, has a reputation of a right-wing lie site and rumour mill.
    LOL!!!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Wire#Reception

    Reception
    Accuracy

    According to Snopes, "DailyWire.com has a tendency to share stories that
    are taken out of context or not verified", including an incorrect report
    on baby names in the Netherlands, a misdated, exaggerated story that
    protesters were digging up Confederate graves, a false allegation that Democratic congresspeople had refused to stand for a fallen Navy SEAL's
    widow, and a report that Harvard University was segregating commencement ceremonies (because black students had planned an optional event). The credibility checker NewsGuard assessed in 2021 that The Daily Wire "has sometimes misstated facts, including about COVID-19" but "generally
    maintains basic standards of credibility and transparency — with
    significant exceptions".

    Various articles by The Daily Wire have engaged in climate change denial
    by making false or misleading claims when they dispute the scientific
    consensus on climate change. In 2017, when scientists writing in Climate Feedback described several Daily Wire articles as inaccurate or lacking evidence, The Daily Wire published corrections in two articles, after
    which the scientists assessed that the updated articles were still
    misleading. In November 2021, a study by the Center for Countering
    Digital Hate described The Daily Wire as being among "ten fringe
    publishers" that together were responsible for nearly 70 percent of
    Facebook user interactions with content that denied climate change.
    Facebook said the percentage was overstated and called the study
    misleading.

    The "Coronavirus Misinformation Weekly Briefing" by academics of the
    Oxford Internet Institute described The Daily Wire's coverage of
    COVID-19 lockdowns and the World Health Organization as examples of
    "junk health news" narratives in 2020. Some scientific studies have
    identified The Daily Wire as a fake news website.

    In April 2017, The Daily Wire incorrectly credited the Housing and Urban Development secretary, Ben Carson, with finding over $500 billion in accounting errors made by the Obama administration. FactCheck.org
    reported that the errors were discovered and published by HUD's
    independent inspector general before Carson became secretary.

    Facebook criticism

    In October 2019, the investigative website Popular Information said that
    The Daily Wire had violated Facebook's policies by creating 14 anonymous
    pages promoting its content exclusively to boost engagement. In
    response, Facebook temporarily demoted a network called Mad World News,
    which had a financial relationship with The Daily Wire, but issued no
    penalty to The Daily Wire besides a warning.

    In July 2021, an article by NPR in a series on disinformation accused
    The Daily Wire of having found success on Facebook by turning "anger
    into an art form and recycled content into a business model". It cited
    among its examples Daily Wire stories on COVID-19 vaccines that disproportionately played up potential side effects. Shapiro responded
    on Twitter by asserting that the NPR story reflected "the establishment
    media's deep desire to keep people from clicking on stories they want to
    read".

    Oh, please. Russia got it's ass KICKED in the Cold War and that was
    basically a propaganda contest. Good grief, man! HOLLYWOOD has been
    the planet's most powerful propaganda machine since sound came to the
    movies. The defection of China to a free market capitalist economy
    was arguably our biggest victory against Communism.

    China dominates the electronic world, means to deliver
    said propaganda more easily, more broadly, more subtly.

    No, it doesn't. It dominates *manufacturing* because of cheap labor
    costs but nations around the world are diversifying their source of
    processors and microelectronics. However, design and application are
    entirely different and China does NOT dominate there.

    Except that the truth always comes out in the end. Witness the
    collapse of radical rightism in the Republican party as we speak.

    Alas Russia and China have also become closer in terms of
    trade and to a degree military coordination. They DO mean

    The best Russia can hope for at this point is to be a client state of
    a benevolent China.

    The global capitalistic system the US and EU have woven which includes
    China would destroy Beijing if they tried to use it against use.

    Checks and Balances, my friend, we've got them by the balls.

    The US cannot make 5G network equipment, can't even make TV now. There
    used be a company called RCA which made TV but I think it's dead.

    The US doesn't MAKE TVs, we DESIGN them and hire others to do the
    production. Perhaps you'd like to see all the production jobs in the
    BRICS and Pacific Rim go away and all those hundreds of millions go
    back to starving to death?
