Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Is everything you disagree with propaganda? If the West is so manipulated, then prove it. And I'll show you how China is literally locking people away instead for the same thing. I hope you realize that accusing anyone else of what your favorite country is doing by committing human rights violations itself on a massive scale is not a good argument, especially when the sources you criticize have a generally good standing:
Bias Rating: LEAST BIASED Factual Reporting: HIGH Country: USA Press Freedom Rank: MOSTLY FREE Media Type: Organization/Foundation Traffic/Popularity: Medium Traffic MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

If you think they're not, then prove it. I want to see those pristine sources of yours.
The West has been many things about climate change for years as shown in the link in my message above. That's what the Paris Agreement was for--the one the China co-created and then withdrew from after ignoring it altogether. All for show.
What's more, China is one of the most industrialized nations in the world. They're literally stealing technology because they can use it. That means they also have the power to invest in renewable energy, but they chose not to, embarking in developmental projects only to abandon and demolish them later when a fraction of that could've been well spent.
Besides, their plan offers little to no change to what they've already been doing without ambition or commitment. This is, again, all talk on their behalf because they're looking bad right now. You're literally praising them for not having done anything impactful yet and being 5 years behind schedule.
Your link is broken. Not even archive.org works with it. I want to see where that quote is from.
Also, most of the countries that support China in your image are those that commit human rights atrocities daily and have conflict of interests with China: Venezuela, Myanmar, central Africa, and Russia.
There are many arguments to be made for and against. Just because you found one in your favor doesn't prove anything. And pointing out corporations in the West is not the same as a literal government engaging in the same shady behavior.
That's nice, dear, but it's not for you to decide. I love how you just change the subject back to whatever the US has done like it's the only Western country in the world.
Again, what does that have to do with anything? That doesn't invalidate what Taiwan is today.
All this pointless diversion is yypical CPP apologist behavior.
