news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Shithead racists are always going to be the loudest in any country I suppose. Silly of them to freak out, even if every single person in Canada emigrated to China, it would only raise the population by around 3%, hardly the apocalyptic scenario these guys envision.
It's bizarre to even make arguments of inferiority or superiority based on racist shit when you name a segment of your own history the "century of humiliation", was that because of racial inferiority too? Of course fucking not.
The “inferior” part refers to darker skinned people, especially the fear of Indians and Africans with “fake university qualifications” “flooding the country”, and they point to what happened in Western countries. Many would still accept white people coming into their country (though this is also starting to receive some backlash as Chinese people become more confident about their own country).
Unfortunate to see such blatant racism being displayed out in the open. I always thought we’re better than that, but maybe that’s because China has always kept a tight immigration policy so people never get the anxiety about that. I am still surprised by the overreaction though.
Made up bullshit then.
They're going to have to address this. It's going to fester.
We need a cultural revolution 2.0
I have seen a significant number of people on Chinese social media who basically believe the Fox News portrayal of the west, but are instead excited by the implication that it is destroying the west.
The crazy Han Chauvinist crowd in Chinese internet would blame the Manchu
It just crops up in the last 48 hours all over the social media. Lots of fearmongering going on right now before the policy is even implemented (which is tomorrow, October 1st).
The only fair point I will make is that this K visa policy itself also came out of nowhere, seemingly following the US restricting their H1B visa issuance (actual announcement was back in August, though most people didn’t notice or even pay attention). There isn’t a lot of details about the why and the need for the policies and how exactly it will be implemented. So people immediately think the worst, that the Indians who want to seek better life in the US will now take advantage of China’s wealth.
