The CCP is evil, weaponizing propaganda and exploiting gullible Western elites to polish its image. This manipulation spreads lies, legitimizes tyranny, and betrays the very democratic values those elites claim to uphold.

Soft power isn't just a cultural appeal, but also an attraction to magnanimity - a trait lacking in PRC which thus reduces its meager soft power appeal to nothing more than just a few consumer brands. Beyond that, just rabid pettiness over every perceived trivial slights.

Prez Trump said he would go to China “in the early part of next year” and Xi Jinping said he would come to the U.S. “at an appropriate time.” The Chinese will view Trump traveling first as an acknowledgement of his inferior status. This is not the time to reinforce CCP

Unless I'm missing something, any TikTok deal that enables the PRC (and thus the CCP) to continue to control the app's algorithm would flatly violate the requirements for divestiture per the law. For good reason: that's the part that matters, the info they're feeding our people.

1/ This Bloomberg piece is an exercise in PRC propaganda. It claims PRC has "rights" to Taiwan (no such thing) and describes the PRC as "assertive" whereas it tags Lai as provocative in various ways. Utterly shameful. https://t.co/pezSurfdKG
