This is completely strange. For a long time, I dismissed the warnings about Chinese influence on media as being a little paranoid and over the top. But now I see that it’s not, and if anything, a little underestimated.

The only thing that puzzles me is why Big Tech (just the guyz, really, such as the owners/founders of FB, Twitter, etc.) is so supportive of China. None of these companies would have had a chance under the Chinese system, and I don’t understand why these creative, energetic people (whether you like them or not) have voluntarily enslaved themselves to a backwards, derivative, and stifling culture and political system.

I guess it all goes back to the bucks. I’m sure they’re all profiting richly off of their connections.

I would look for whether these oligarchs ever visit China. If so, I would suspect an Epstein arrangement.

They'll have plenty of money to buy their own rope.
