  • China’s treatment of Uyghurs is despicable.

    The communications attack continued more widely as Apple complied with a government request to bolt the door on Chinese citizens by denying them the ability to download apps such as Signal, Telegram, Threads and WhatsApp, which previously could have been accessed through virtual private networks.

    China has blocked every non-Chinese social app but gets upset when the ban of tiktok is brought up.

    If that is how Beijing treats its scientists, its sporting heroes fare little better. Exposed by The New York Times and German television channel ARD, 23 members of the Chinese swimming team for the Tokyo Olympics were revealed to have tested positive for a banned substance prior to the games but were allowed to compete anyway because the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accepted China’s excuse of kitchen contamination without an on-location investigation.

    Trying to out do Russian olympic doping…it seems like a competition in it’s own right.
