My eyes have been open to China’s influence in US media, especially with covid-19 outbreak, where they’re rallied various institutions to change the narrative around the name and origin of the virus.
For example, Dreamworks carrying water for the CCP government by including the 9-dotted line prominently on a map in their movie[1].
Who thinks this inclusion was by accident? Their influence in US media and politics is out of control.
It's somewhat amusing all the fuss over the legitimacy conveyed through maps, as if the map illustrator consulted some gold standard reference of truth. There was a time some centuries past when maps were approximations of reality. I think this comes down to the play on human nature of: when you say something frequently enough it's assumed to be true. Where is the relevant international law assuming there is one that expresses territorial waters.
> When asked about Taiwan, WHO Dr. Aylward first pretended not hearing then awkwardly cut the line
They call him abck and ask about Taiwan again and he literally says, "well, we've already talked about China. ... when you look across all the different areas of China ..."
The Taiwanese flag was replaced with some generic triangle. Taiwan sovereignty is considered a very “delicate” issue by the Chinese government, which is to say the language and depiction of it is greatly censored, both at home and abroad apparently.
