World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Literally every single thing you've said here was wrong.
The majority of Party arrests in the last 5 years have been Xi's appointees and supporters. (which isn't surprising given he's had majority support)
Also no, they don't 'reclassify' anyone. They do not magically give people millions of dollars just to execute them, do you actually hear yourself when you have these thoughts or are you just a complete blank inside?
I still see ZERO SOURCES supporting your beliefs, and they are BELIEFS, by the way. Come on, just one single non-NED backed source and I'll admit I'm wrong. Just one. One single one.
Lmfao OK so this is eating shit straight from the horse's ass. They feed you this sound bite but then say the number of arrests and executions is a state secret. They're talking out of both sides of their mouth and you just shut your eyes to the dissonance.
Everything is working perfectly as expected and above board, except for when it isn't. But even when it isn't it actually is, source: trust me bro
"Give me one source that I won't arbitrarily subject to a genetic fallacy. Just one single one."
A) No, No one has ever stated the number of arrests or executions are a state secret. It's public information. There are actually few things that are 'state secrets' (which isn't a term used by the CPC or NPC); convictions which are public information are not one of them. For obvious reasons. I don't know where you even got confused here, because as far as I know even the most deranged RFA posts only suggest secret arrests as 'off books' arrests which are left off of the public record that all chinese citizens have access to. Like you are outdoing the CIA outlet in your delusional claims here little buddy.
B) The National Endowment of Democracy, an NGO formed by 'former' CIA collaborators, funded by an act of congress after a hearing with the then CIA director, and who has largely taken all public roles from the CIA since the Reagan administration (especially after Iran-Contra spoiled the CIA internationally) is an NGO that primarily funds pro israeli, pro US, anti communist, anti US enemy propaganda (in that order) internationally and domestically, allowing CIA operations to happen on US soil even before neutrality rules and domestic intelligence restrictions were officially removed in the 1990s and 2010s respectively.
Asking for a source that is not literally US state propaganda in order to verify your claims seems like it would be fair game. You choose to distrust Chinese state propaganda, but for some reason have fully based your entire identity on US state propaganda; even if it is so hilariously, obviously false.
You didn’t post any sources either.
You are the one making outrageous claims, ones that are not reflected in a single legitimate source not funded by the NED.
No I’m not. Pay more attention to who’s talking perhaps.
Maybe read before posting.
No bud. YOU read the usernames. I’m not the person who posted any of that up there. I’m a new guy who is trying to troll you but you’re making it very difficult by being obtuse.
