181·1 day agoHe was convicted for rioting
No, just read the article. He was arrested on June 12 at a train station
wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times”, and a yellow mask printed with “FDNOL” – the shorthand for another pro-democracy slogan, “five demands, not one less”. June 12 is a date associated with protests in the city in 2019.
Your comments are fabricated, you’re posting biased quotes without providing a source. This does not contribute to a good internet culture.
This quote is not from the article. Where is it from?
And this person was wearing a t-shirt. He was convicted for wearing a t-shirt.
5·1 day agoI’m from Europe and I’m kinda getting tired of reminding people from the US that your blind patriotism is just that…a blind spot that is used against the US citizens on every corner.
For starters, I/m from Europe, but my friends from the U.S. might not need to be reminded where they live, they know that themselves. And we are all tired of this whataboutism all over the place. There is a lot of criticism on the U.S., the surveillance there, and Clarence Thomas. The thing is that in these posts, there are no whataboutisms, no one commenting, “but in China …”.

In 2015, two years after kicking off its massive Belt and Road initiative, China launched its “Digital Silk Road” project to expand access to digital infrastructure such as submarine cables, satellites, 5G connectivity, etc. In a report published this year, the UK-based human rights group ‘Article 19’ argues that the project is about more than just expanding access to Chinese technology, but rather to export its brand of digital authoritarianism across the word. Here is a brief article about it where you can also download the 80-page report (April 2024): China: The rise of digital repression in the Indo-Pacific – (Archived link)

There is also an interesting first-hand research about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country by Canadian researcher Professor Ariane Ollier-Malaterre (March 2024): Digital surveillance is omnipresent in China. Here’s how citizens are coping (in French: La surveillance numérique est omniprésente en Chine. Voici comment les citoyens y font face)

I guess they can’t say much in this case. Maybe a bit whataboutism (chat control? Google does the same?), but you can’t defend this imo.
Thanks for this.
Maybe you know Total Trust, a documentary.
Total Trust is an eye-opening and deeply disturbing story of surveillance technology, abuse of power and (self-)censorship that confronts us with what can happen when our privacy is ignored. Through the haunting stories of people in China who have been monitored, intimidated and even tortured, the film tells of the dangers of technology in the hands of unbridled power. Taking China as a mirror, Total Trust sounds an alarm about the increasing use of surveillance tools around the world – even by democratic governments like those in Europe. If this is the present, what is our future?
If you speak German, you can watch it on Arte TV, but it is only available 3 more days.
Why should I care when Taiwan’s official stance is also that it is the one legitimate government over all of China? Seriously asking.
From where in this Wikipedia link do you infer your claim? There are two Chinas, as others have already said.
Your statement, “Taiwan’s offical stance is also that it is the one legitimate government over all of China”, is completely fabricated - with a ‘source’ that does not foster your argument.

Does China have a tech company which does NOT develop spyware?
Das passt irgendwie dazu.

Whataboutism? Apart from the fact that it has nothing to do with the linked article, there has been a lot of, say, ‘not too positive’ reports about Trump’s social network.
How are the so-called ‘laws’ written in China?
As @Deceptichum@quokk.au already said, this is about safety, and it’s not a geopolitical thing.

I guess if you are surrounded only by yes-sayers for too long, something like that may happen.
Zhang Zhan is a role model for a person who is standing up. As some others have already written in their comments, it’s a similar situation in China as it is in Russia, Iran, North Korea (or Nazi-Germany 90 years ago, if you seek an example in history).
Those Chinese who threaten their peers should be legally prosecuted and then sent back to China. If they don’t value freedom of expression and human rights, they have nothing to do here in Europe. This is unacceptable.
Wenn wir wissen wollen, ob Handynutzung in der Schule gut oder schlecht ist, dann sollten wir vielleicht einfach die im Silicon Valley fragen. Da kommt ein grosser Teil der Software ja her. Dazu eine Nachricht aus 2015, aber immer noch aktuell (und aufschlussreich?):

Ah, sorry für den Doppel-Post, das habe ich nicht gesehen.
