> X said Thursday night.
this is a news story reported as unambiguous fact, but only based on claims from a single source.
and that single source has a pretty strong motivation for why they might lie or exaggerate the claims - X runs AI data centers and is facing criticism over them. it's in their interest to be able to portray that opposition as astroturfed by foreign interests.

- evil-olive 1mo agoby focusing your question on "what is China doing?" you're already buying in to the framing that this propaganda is pushing - that Chinese people are sneaky and deceitful and we should be worried about what they're doing because obviously they must be doing something aimed at fucking with the US.
- andsoitis 1mo agoHow do you know it is propaganda?
- xquce 1mo agoAre all of China's problems caused by the US then? Or contrary to your beliefs, does people have their own home grown problems and should seek to solve them instead of looking at the other nearby tribe to blame. So fun seeing Americans blame Russia for their issues with racism and China for their issues of bad infrastructure. As if both didn't predate the founding of those countries.
- andsoitis 1mo ago> Are all of China's problems caused by the US then? No. That’s a silly opening statement and not a logical conclusion or assertion of the article’s reporting.
