Content moderation on private platforms is imperfect, but the reflexive use of “censorship” in this Zuck statement — a word rendered meaningless by a right-wing propaganda campaign that saw moderating as disadvantaging them — is a purely political statement.

The New York Times solemnly reported on China’s increased ownership of global ports, in a story making obvious that Chinese companies in charge of shipping ports is inherently scary--in a way that the US having 750 military bases around the world never is.

The assumption that no country *except the US* should have that much power suffuses corporate news reporting; whatever China does or doesn’t do, look for that lens to color any news you get.

The disabled tanker EVENTIN, potentially part of the so-called "russian shadow fleet", has been brought under control after several hours adrift off the #Baltic Sea coast north of Rügen, #Germany.

Carrying approximately 99,000 tons of #oil, had been adrift since around noon on Friday due to a loss of maneuverability. While the 24-member crew remained onboard, evacuation was deemed unnecessary.

Lithuania needs functioning embassy in Beijing, says foreign minister

Lithuania wants to normalize relations but can't help itself and say China is not democratic, don't acknowledge its past errors and say China is a threat to Lithuania.

Sure, they are masters of diplomacy.

That sweet US mullah is too sweet to let go.
in reply to Cochise

Lithuania's approach reveals a clear contradiction in the context of imperialism. Acknowledging China as undemocratic while seeking “normal” relations highlights the struggle of smaller nations under global capitalism to navigate between principle and necessity.

This reflects the subjugation of weaker states to imperialist powers. Pretending China’s authoritarianism and expansionism are irrelevant is not diplomacy but a concession to capitalist imperialism. History shows us that alliances with empires are inherently unstable and can collapse overnight.

Can Lithuania uphold revolutionary principles and expose China’s nature or succumb to normalization that strengthens global capitalist dominance?
