On less these days. Twitter has largely become a cesspit of unaware narcissist idiots blithely shouting over one another. It's ironic. For years, state media, charlatans and flunkies have been seeking to grab the mic. Now Musk has handed them it.. no one is listening?

"Why does the video have no subtitles?" "Sorry. This issue won't be shared in China."

Some sleight of hand here from the China UN ambassador here.. The UN charter was signed in 1945 by the Republic of China—aka what's now Taiwan. A country the CPC has vowed to wipe off the map. #NotVeryUNCharterLikeBehaviour

Cheerio (again) George Galloway 👋 State media loses its MP. Here's Neil Kinnock giving George a perfect eulogy.

SHE'S DONE IT. HUGE congratulations to Yuan Yang 🎉

Just to cool everyone's jets—as I see people being swept into Beijing's narrative.. ✨Foreign arrivals in China are still 94% of 2019 levels, ~a million people down so far this year✨ —There is no "tourist boom". This is a very slow, very overdue return from unprecedented lows.

✨"Zip it, Miriam. Talk about makeup or something."✨ Mask. Off.

Spare a thought for China's censors tonight—they're going to be working overtime on this. #Paris2024    #OpeningCeremony

Hello from Dorset. 💕

Hmm. Suddenly craving bread.

Scoop - Beijing has admitted that a Chinese-owned ship damaged a critical Baltic Sea gas pipeline running between Estonia and Finland last October, but says it was an accident. scmp.com/news/china/dip…

Oh. Did Jason just accidentally give away Chinese land..? 🧐 Publishing "wrongful maps" is a crime in China, and a big state media no-no. I wouldn't want to be his handler in the morning~

China can do what it wants (of course). But its sports stars could - and should - be among the country's best ambassadors. Instead, using them in this North Korea-style nonsense is propaganda at its absolute worst and does absolutely nothing for the country's image globally.

A thread with a (very partial) list of examples of people the PRC government jailed for using this site for political speech that the owner of this site could raise if he cared as much about free speech in the PRC as he claims to care about it in Brazil. 1/13

The irony is TaiwanPlus News' office is real, while Andy films on a green screen in his apartment.
