Why were they able to stay under the radar for 3 years?

I doubt UK could surpass China and Russia in terms of internet censorship any time soon
You know you can just switch to some small instance that's not blocked and you're gonna be good? Even in China the small Lemmy instances work while the big ones are obviously blocked
Wanna see Vance as a president?
Sorry, they must have updated the title in the meantime. Fixed
I don’t really see Frenchmen risking getting nuked only so that Poland can march on Moscow
Did you actually read what you quote? It aligns with what I said - Chinese feel mostly satisfied with their government and don’t want the democracy, and don’t feel that their government is democratic. Claiming that Chinese believe that their country is democratic is not what Harvard did in the document that you’ve provided.
Regarding “not only possible but likely”: please do the math. If the share of population believing in X is 90%, the chance that none of the five selected people do X is (1 - 0.9)^5 = 0.001% (i.e., 1 in 100,000), assuming independence across people. That’s what you call likely?
PS. Why is this always the .ml instance 😀
Well, I must have been super unlucky then as I have talked about it with like 5 different Chinese met at 5 different circumstances
Over 90% of Chinese agree that “democracy is important” and 80% agree that their country is democratic? Was this survey conducted in Taiwan and signed as “China” complying with “one China policy”?
I’ve never met any Chinese believing that their country is democratic nor that democracy is important. Quite the opposite - they usually say that China grew thanks to the lack of democracy (never calling it a dictatorship though)
Even the CCP propaganda doesn’t claim that China is the democracy but instead they show the negative sides of the democracies so that people don’t even think that it may be a good idea if China was democratic
Now I'm on Lemmy with the understanding that any instance could become more restrictive at any time, but instead of losing an entire platform I may just need to change instance or create my own. I like that a hell of a lot more.
For this to work, there need to be many instances instead of one big centralized instance though. Therefore I suggest you move to some smaller instance - lemmy.world got pretty big. That’s what I am doing here too, trying to grow the news community at another instance - this way if lemmy.world’s admin one day changes their mind and starts censoring the content beyond your comfort level, you can just block their instance and not be left out with an empty space

The war started in 2022, and so this means that they were trading with Russia for 3 years straight with no consequences until July 18, 2025, unless I am missing something. Like, why didn’t they get sanctioned in 2022 but only after 3 years?
