    ‘Mr Xi has not named a successor…’

    Perhaps he’s not an undemocratic despot, after all. No, couldn’t be that. He must plan to live forever.

    Interesting video. If that is one news segment, it’s impressive for capturing all the main anti-CPC stories in one go.

    There was even a bit in there likening Xi to Trump, surely aimed at almost everyone in the world who saw Trump come to power and stood aghast.

    Oceania, despite like being very west aligned seems more “love it or hate it” when it comes to their northern neighbors. It’s funny sometimes (like “Xi Jinping wants YOU to vote labor!!”) and other times it’s this. But then there’s other things like straight up direct praise for North Korean-Australian tourism on professional media outlets.

      It’s less virulent sinophobia than you see in the US but I can’t remember the last piece of pro-China reporting I heard in the news here in the NZ. Not even gonna mention the genuine embarrassment that is western reporting on the DPRK - it’s gotten to the point where I click off an article out of instinct if it mentions the DPRK because I know I’m about to be exposed to the most batshit lies and most dishonest journalism you will ever see.

    Australians and NZers have hundreds, maybe even…billions times more to gain from allying with China. But their bourgeoisie will continue to lie to the Australian worker and continue to get paid by their American masters.
