Chinese government officials endorse new Huawei phone
Chinese government officials, including Premier Li Keqiang, have been promoting the new Huawei Mate 60 Pro, highlighting the phone's domestically developed 5G chip and framing it as a triumph over US sanctions.
Questions raised about legitimacy of Huawei's new chip
Tech experts have raised doubts about the legitimacy of Huawei's claims regarding the new Mate 60 Pro's chip. Speculation suggests that the chip may be a rebranded version of the previous Kirin 9000 chip, rather than a wholly new and domestically developed chip.
Silent release of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro raises eyebrows
The release of the Huawei Mate 60 Pro without any official announcement or press release has left many puzzled. The lack of transparency and the emphasis on propaganda surrounding the phone's 5G chip has raised questions about its true capabilities and origins.
China's Coal Power Expansion Continues Despite Climate Goals
China is approving the equivalent of two new coal plants per week, making it the world's largest carbon emitter. Despite its pledge to peak emissions by 2030, China's rapid coal power expansion is undermining global efforts to combat climate change.
China's Water Pollution and Counterfeit Bottled Water
China's severe water pollution has led to widespread use of bottled water. However, counterfeit water operations have emerged, selling untreated and potentially unsafe water in brand-name bottles. This practice poses health risks and threatens the safety of the Chinese people.
TikTok as a Chinese Propaganda Tool
The popular app TikTok has shown how effectively Chinese propaganda can be disseminated through social media platforms. The algorithm-driven nature of TikTok makes it a powerful tool for spreading Chinese propaganda, influencing public opinion, and promoting the Chinese government's agenda.
China's Disregard for International Boundaries in the South China Sea
China's newly released official map claims the entirety of the South China Sea, encroaching on the territories of neighboring countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam. This move has heightened regional tensions and led to growing concerns over China's expansionist agenda and aggressive behavior.
Chinese propaganda and apathy towards trusting information
The podcast discusses how propaganda from the Chinese government aims to make people distrustful of information, leading to apathy and a lack of trust in anything conflicting with their beliefs.
The importance of focusing on China and the limitations of discussing American politics
The hosts emphasize the importance of their focus on China and explain that they avoid discussing American politics because it is already extensively covered and they lack expertise in that area.
