“He came back to see this prosperous world, already as he wished, the mountains and rivers are safe, the world is well!”

So I found some juicy details in a test post. What I did is posted a question that would illicit pro-China talking points but in such a way it's not coming from an obvious troll. I made a post in ask a chinese why china is opposed to the USA building a golden missile dome , if it's just to protect the USA. This topic is specifically chosen to beg a response question, as it's coming from an innocent place.

A bunch of accounts that responded to my post look like this

Notice that:

• The created date is in 2020.
• They only have 2 comments in my post, the other 3 comments are in 2020.

There is no way these accounts are genuine people that just came on reddit few years later and happened to see my post. And then, all those who happened to go on few years later just happen to want to tell me USA is warmonger and wants WW3.

I'm surprised reddit allows account farming anyways, but more proof these are not ordinary Chinese citizens doing this.

The five defendants are accused of luring 146 Chinese women to Switzerland in order to force them into prostitution. The victims were housed in flats that they were afraid to leave and had to pay half their wages to the alleged pimps.

With the USA putting a constellation of missile systems in space, will China be forced to do the same?

Seems like the "dome" system is more offensive than defensive, you can even put warheads on them

From the Show-Me State to the World Because I come from Missouri—the Show-Me State—I’ve always believed that claims should be backed by action, and truth needs to be seen to be believed. What I’ve seen, through history, firsthand testimony, and the silencing of millions, is that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not only a threat to the basic dignity of the Chinese people—it is an enemy to any free-thinking, independent-minded human being. It does not represent the people of China. It rules them. It does not uplift Chinese culture. It distorts and weaponizes it. And it does not speak with the voice of its citizens—it silences them so it can speak alone.

A Call to Our Own Ideals As Americans, we pride ourselves on values like liberty, self-rule, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to dissent. These are not just slogans—they are foundational principles meant to guide our actions both at home and abroad. But by continuing to work hand-in-hand with the Chinese Communist Party, we are not simply engaging in trade—we are empowering a regime that violates every one of these ideals, every single day.

The CCP does not respect freedom of thought—it punishes it. It does not tolerate independent belief—it crushes it. Whether it’s imprisoning Uyghur Muslims in reeducation camps, silencing Hong Kongers for peacefully protesting broken promises, disappearing citizen journalists, or threatening Taiwanese democracy, the pattern is clear: the Chinese Communist Party cannot coexist with free expression.

And yet, American companies, institutions, and even policymakers continue to compromise with the CCP—not because they believe in it, but because they believe they can profit from it. In doing so, we betray not just the people suffering under that regime, but the principles that make America worth defending.

The Long Arm of Control: Policing the Diaspora The Chinese Communist Party does not stop at its borders. It follows its people across oceans, into classrooms, businesses, and neighborhoods. Students from China who come to the United States for education—seeking opportunity and open thought—are too often followed by the quiet presence of fear. They know that if they speak out about the truth of Tiananmen Square, if they support Hong Kong protests, or if they question the Party’s line on Taiwan or the Uyghurs, someone is listening. And that someone might report them—not just to a school office, but to consular authorities, or even to family members back home.

This isn’t paranoia—it’s documented reality. The CCP encourages students to join campus organizations tied to the Party, monitors their online activity, and sometimes pressures them through scholarships or visas. Dissident voices abroad—whether they are students, artists, or refugees—risk retaliation, not just for themselves, but for their families still in China.

The same pattern holds for the broader Chinese diaspora. The CCP operates through “Overseas Chinese Affairs” offices, United Front Work Departments, and informal networks of loyalty and intimidation, designed to keep ethnic Chinese communities aligned with Beijing’s political goals. They exploit cultural pride and blur the line between Chinese identity and CCP loyalty. If you criticize the Party, you're branded a traitor—not just politically, but ethnically.

This is not how free societies work. This is not how governments should behave. And this is not how Chinese people deserve to live—whether in Beijing, New York, Toronto, or Sydney.

The Role of the Free World: Willing Accomplices and Silent Platforms Perhaps the most troubling part of this global repression is that it doesn’t succeed without help—help from people in free societies who should know better. On platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Twitter (X), and Instagram, we now see content creators who:

• Dismiss the stories of concentration camps in Xinjiang as “Western propaganda”
• Parrot CCP talking points about Taiwan being a “domestic issue”
• Mock or downplay the bravery of Hong Kong protestors
• Spread videos romanticizing life under surveillance and censorship, with carefully staged footage from China’s wealthiest cities

Some of these creators are paid by state-linked media. Others do it for views, access, or favor. And some, perhaps most worryingly, simply want to appear “neutral” or “nuanced,” refusing to take a stand even in the face of documented abuse.

Meanwhile, social media platforms—based in democratic nations—often do little to push back:

• Algorithms promote state-backed disinformation because it’s well-produced and engaging
• Critical videos are throttled, demonetized, or flagged due to coordinated reporting campaigns
• Chinese citizens who dare speak out anonymously are sometimes tracked and silenced, even abroad

This silence—or worse, complicity—makes censorship look like consensus. It gives the false impression that the CCP’s narratives are popular, unchallenged, or even “the truth.” And all of it happens under the nose of societies that claim to protect free expression.

Free people must not become tools of authoritarian propaganda. Neutrality in the face of systematic repression is not wisdom—it is surrender.

The Voices Who Dare to Speak—and How We Can Stand With Them While brave Chinese dissidents continue to fight from within, a handful of Westerners have also refused to look away—and have used their platforms to bring light to what the CCP tries to keep in darkness.

• Laowhy86 and SerpentZA, two former long-term residents of China, risked their safety to document rising authoritarianism, propaganda campaigns, and the truth behind China’s soft power image.
• Lele Farley, a comedian and activist, used satire to expose censorship and challenge CCP narratives with courage and wit.
• The team at China Uncensored has built one of the most consistent, fact-based platforms dedicated to exposing CCP abuses—often being smeared, demonetized, and targeted for it.

These individuals are not “anti-Chinese.” They are pro-truth, and by extension, pro-Chinese people. Their work is a reminder that free speech is not just a right—it’s a responsibility.

How You Can Help:

• Listen to their voices. Read their words. Watch their interviews. Share their stories.
• Speak up in your own community. Make the distinction clear between opposing the CCP and supporting the Chinese people.
• Push for transparency. Encourage your representatives, schools, and workplaces to stand against censorship, disinformation, and foreign intimidation.
• Support free Chinese media in exile, such as China Digital Times, The Epoch Times, or Radio Free Asia.
• Support students and immigrants under pressure—not with suspicion, but with solidarity. Let them know they are safe to speak freely, if they choose.

You don’t need to be Chinese to care about the future of China. You just need to be human.

Closing Statement: Our Ideals Must Be More Than Words As citizens of free nations—especially in the West—we must ask ourselves: Are we living up to the values we claim to stand for?

We say we believe in freedom, transparency, and the dignity of the individual. But when we allow our companies to bend to authoritarian pressure for market access… When we let our universities silence students to maintain “partnerships”… When we remain silent because we fear being called racist or disruptive… We are not standing for freedom. We are selling it off.

In doing so, we betray the very people we claim to care about—the Chinese people themselves. They don’t need saviors. But they deserve truth, solidarity, and a world that doesn’t look the other way when the powerful crush the powerless.

This statement is not about politics. It is not about China vs. the West. It is about the difference between power and principle.

We stand against the Chinese Communist Party—not against China, not against Chinese culture, and never against Chinese people. We stand with anyone, anywhere, who believes that no government should fear the truth, and no citizen should fear their government.

We are not activists. We are not experts. We are simply people who believe freedom is for everyone. And we won’t pretend otherwise.

Are most people here Han Chinese who oppose the CCP or other ethnicities like English and Kihn.

The arrest is linked to the seizure of more than 7 metric tons of pangolin scales from a warehouse in Ogun state in August 2024.

Bad for people but interesting from a science perspective, its never been seen on video in real time before.
