Delta Airlines is giving the personal information of its passengers flying in and out of China to the country’s communist government, according to the airliner’s privacy policy. Updated just last month, the privacy agreement designates an entire section to the communist nation, wherein Delta describes the “specific practices related to the use, storage, and disclosure of your personal information in China.” “Your personal data will be collected and processed in accordance with Cybersecurity Law of China that became effective in June 2017 … and any other laws and regulations of China that govern this area,” the policy reads. “Any processing...

American studios are not only cutting content that displeases the CCP, but actively inserting propaganda at the behest of the Chinese government. Producers, writers, and financiers inside Hollywood explained to PEN America just how far the industry goes to please the Chinese Communist Party, in an eye-opening report released Wednesday. “Most people do not burn China, because there’s an expectation of ‘I’ll never work again,'” one producer told PEN America. “You consult with Chinese experts and media consultants, you think about whether something is going to be perceived as criticism,” another producer added. “You worry about inadvertently crossing some line.”...

The producer of this documentary asserts that the COVID-19 outbreak is far different from what we have been led to believe. China's government, for example, set up a hospital in record time--an admirable work--ostensibly for the benefit of its citizenry. Why, then did all the windows of the extremely-hastily-constructed "hospital" have bars and locks on the outsides of all its rooms? It sure looks a lot more like a prison than the hospital about which had been boasted. Many health-care workers have been dragged off and incarcerated! US Media only told of one dissident whistle blowing doctor, but apparently there...

The lack of confidence that some of my Chinese friends seem to have in their government comes as a surprise for me. After all, it would seem that by now, Beijing should be an expert at providing assistance for displaced people. We are talking about a government that recently has completed the Three Gorges Project, the world’s largest dam, and in the process has had to relocate up to 4 million people. Many of these people, by no choice of their own, were sent to brand new cities that the Chinese government quickly constructed as the dam’s resevoir began to...

A home invasion and attack near Duluth a week ago has set off a political firestorm that may reach all the way to China. Peter Yuan Li said he was tied up and beaten in his Chatburn Way home by several men on Feb. 8. The men spoke Korean and Mandarin and left behind certain valuables, including a camcorder and television, but took his computers, a phone and his wallet, according to Li. They also demanded unspecified documents and pried open two file cabinets, he said. But Li claims it was no ordinary robbery. The culprits, he said, were Chinese...

CCP controls the freedom of information flow by censoring websites, punish those who resists, and now they've got a new formula: introducing CCP propagandists. Today more than 100 propagandists have been specially trained in three provinces to troll on forums and attack those who are critical against the CCP or their beloved motherland. Frequent use of insults, slander, and multiple IDs are common among these groups of propagandists.
