China’s firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.

“You’ve got to vet your sources and protect yourself, and this feller looks a little too friendly with them chinese for my liking”
You are exactly the kind of fear-driven peasant brain that would crush village women between rocks because learning to read is clearly witchcraft. You can’t prove it, but it just feels scary somehow, you know?

Can you give me an example of a source that has proved their trustworthiness? Perhaps some major newspapers that have spent the last two years lying in support of a genocide?
Bro, this is clearly about more than just ethics in journalism or whatever for you. You saw a guy go on a cruise, make some videos about politics (in our current time, no less) and decided, with no evidence, that he is an agent of the CPC, and that anyone who doesnt see that must just not be as saavy as you. This is some 1960s level white paranoia that you’re rationalizing behind a thin screen of “I’m just practicing media scrutiny”.

You have to tell yourself this is what I’m saying because even a cursory examination of your own feelings and motives would show your actual position ("this nobody is clearly a chinese spy, do not believe their lies, why does nobody else understand the very specifically chinese danger here) to be one based in imperial fearmongering. I fully expect you to be reporting neighbors to ICE within a couple years at this rate. Like I said, this is clearly about more than media literacy for you: it’s about China.
I notice you still haven’t been able to name a single reputable news source
A couple of years? This lib is going to be so scratched by being called out for their racism here, they’ll be calling ICE within the week.
Someone with literal 0 credibility is still more credible than western media outlets, due to their negative credibility.

Please keep going, this is hilarious
Why should I believe your claim that they are being funded by China? I’m sorry but I reviewed you as a source and determined you to be untrustworthy.
What? No not at all, that makes no actual sense.
The western media having negative credibility is a good reason for China to do nothing at all. Let the west ruin itself with little effort on their part.
You don’t need a reputation to present verifiable facts, try watching the video
Nah you just sound sinophobic tbh. I doubt you apply this scrutiny to Western countries.

And yet you still believe the propaganda of your own country

lmao they deleted their account

Sounds like you might be sniffing dog farts for enjoyment. I’m just suggesting the possibility though, I don’t know any more than anyone else on that topic.
that’s obvious
They’re talking about the propaganda from your own country
I had a youtube account for decades before I started posting anything to it, and guess what: All I post are communist memes!
GASP
My GOD! That can only mean… I’m a Chinese agent holy shit!
You should be more ashamed of yourself, you’re a perfect representative of the average american

Tell me why the New York Times is a trustworthy source.
deleted by creator
Then why don’t we see you in the comment sections of the posts for articles about the new york times applying the exact same methodology you’ve been applying here?
If anything everyone should take what you, a one month old account, that sprang out of nowhere, with a whole mountain of salt grains for any assertion you’ve put out.
Then name one source you trust and why
It’s not a “source”
It’s a YouTube video. An opinion. You determine whether that opinion is trustworthy or not by watching the video and seeing if the conclussions he puts forward make sense to you.
Or you can just ignore it and say it isn’t true because it’s not pre approved by the Cia.

Lmao did you vet all of these comments before reading them too? What if one of them persuaded you?! OMG YOU MIGHT ALREADY BE COMPROMISED
Of course I could be persuaded to believe in things that aren’t true
I used to believe the United States was a good country
Uno reverse, you walking projector
Also projection. You’re so up your own ass you’ve become an small and dense enough object to tear through the fabric of space and become a blackhole of being an ignorant little shit
Your entire worldview is that of a self-contained circulating system of raw sewage. There’s literally zero reason to take anything you say with anything but negative credibility and seriousness.
deleted by creator
Watch the video and find out, dumbass
Cupcake here didn’t vet a single thing. You looked at a subscriber count and the title of the video. Please fuck off forever
Because surely the new york times have never fabricated evidence or straight up lied before right?
I’m personally sitting in a Hamas control center underneath a hospital with saddam’s weapons of mass destruction, watching footage of the North Vietnamese bombing American ships in the Gulf of Tonkin, and reading a firsthand account of Spanish colonial forces blowing up the USS Maine.
Why is it untrust worthy?
deleted by creator
You haven’t explained to me why you don’t trust them, and you haven’t actually dismissed any of the video’s ideas or claims.
deleted by creator
So you do not consume any media that isn’t from a source you have already deemed to be “trustworthy” ahead of time.
Have you ever heard of the term “information bubble”
How does somebody establish trust with somebody else who refuses to investigate?
Lol right, gotta protect yourself from the wrongthink by ignoring all evidence that disagrees with you
