Hey tankies, come tell us why this is actually a good thing for China to do!
[NARRATOR]: They didn’t.
Right so imagine some asshole takes money from your country, calls your country’s founder a dictator, and then expects more money from your country.
The people that think that’s a bad idea might decide to, you know, not send that asshole more money. It’d be like if a migrant American football player called George Washington a genocidal dictator and expected the his American sponsors to keep paying him. It’s not something that would be accepted in the US, it’s not something accepted in China.
Jesus some actually replied to defend state-level censorship. I could maybe understand it if it was to block some seriously harmful misinformation, but just to protect a fragile national ego…
This isn’t state-level censorship. This is multiple separate entities deciding that ‘hey, maybe they guy that didn’t show us any respect shouldn’t get paid by us.’
You don’t have a right to foreign markets.
Sure buddy, if you say so.
CIA CIA CIA YOU’RE CIA
Its not “some” of the broadcasters, it ALL the broadcasters. china is in full censorship mode on this guy.
Remember how proud of themselves Republicans were for that?
The freedom fries thing was dumb as hell, but this is arguably worse. At least the freedom fries thing was a nation reeling after its biggest terrorist attack. This is just “you better not say anything even remotely mean about our president!” At all times.

The political renaming occurred in context of France’s opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.
Had nothing to do with 9/11.
Yes, and the greater context of the invasion of Iraq was… 9/11. I understand that the genuine purpose may have differed, but the populace was still painfully aware of 9/11, and this got lumped into the War on Terror that started as a direct result of 9/11. The invasion started a year and a half later, yeah, but I really don’t think it would have had the same response without 9/11 having happened.
How to say there’s a problem with national exceptionalism without saying those words.
Wait does this mean we’ll get bing chilling 2.0?
