What is China hoping to achieve with these goofy acts?

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

Have you ever had a bully almost but not quite hit you, instead hitting something else, but you react as if you were about to be hit and flinch. And then one day you flinch and hit your head on something, but the bully didn't hit you so they tell you it's not their fault. Or worse...you flinch and accidentally hit them lightly, and now they have an excuse to really hit you. Yeah...

From what I can tell, control (as they perceive it).

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
