We are all adults living on the earth. Don't insult each other's IQ. okay?

One of the greatest lessons in life is DON'T argue with an Indian. Indians are always right, most intelligent, most advanced, ... etc.

My post must have really frustrated your manchild self for you to start barking personally like our resident house d0g.

You do nothing more but prove yourself to be a low lQ sub species by throwing a tantrum,nobody gives a shit!

Your kind are near the lowest in pecking order of human species, like negr0es with straighter hair, nobody think your kind are acceptable physically ,culturally or genetically.

Your talking in hypocritical manner against fact wouldnot change anything.
Know your place .

LOL..I suppose we must all accept and acquiesce to your personal mastery of "sub species"

in real life.. I'm your "shaab ji"

India is at top in this profession of rumor fabrication and dissemination.

 

[mudas777]

The latest attempt at China bashing by Western and Indian media have ended up not only looking foolish but also irresponsible and lacking in the qualities of objectivity and neutrality that they tout.

This follows the sensationalising of a story about a military coup in China and the arrest of President Xi following his non-public appearance from his first overseas trip to Uzbekistan since the Covid pandemic began.

The baseless rumours of Xi’s ouster began to take shape on September 23 with its origins traced to Jennifer Zeng, a follower of the supposedly religious group Falun Gong and its media backed network in the United States which has been influential in disseminating conspiracy and anti-China stories.

The trustworthiness of Falun Gong can be gauged from its founder, Li Hongzhi who lives in the US, and has gone on record that he believes extraterrestrial aliens from other dimensions walk the Earth and are responsible for introducing technology, war, and immorality. He also claims that he is a being who has come to help humankind from the destruction it could face as the result of rampant evil – supposedly from China.

Prominent in Falun Gong’s and Li’s media network is The Epoch Times which, according to The New York Times, has used Facebook tactics and right wing misinformation to create an anti-China, pro-Trump media empire since 2016. Further NYT notes that embracing Trump and Facebook has made The Epoch Times a partisan powerhouse. It has also created a global-scale misinformation machine that has repeatedly pushed crackpot and fringe narratives into the mainstream.

How The Coup Rumour Spread​

As veteran journalist Nury Vittachi noted:
Huge numbers of journalists, east and west, took a clearly invented tale about the arrest of Chinese leader Xi Jinping seriously. “Where there’s smoke there’s fire, as they say, and there is a column of smoke the likes of which we haven’t seen since July 64 AD pouring out of Beijing,” said the Australian edition of The Spectator, a UK title.

The ludicrous tale spread through the Internet worldwide, reaching millions of readers as it rose sharply on Google trends worldwide. In India, it reached the list of top three biggest news stories, despite not containing a word of truth.
Many versions included the information that there was no evidence for the story – but omitted the fact that under the most basic rules of journalism, stories with zero evidence would normally not be considered printable. The fact that it was so widely reported is yet another nail in the coffin of mainstream media credibility, said numerous voices on social media.

Vittachi has also noted the comments of more sensible voices on the story

Jerry Grey, British-Australian commentator based in China: “Honestly, I can’t believe anyone would be so stupid as to discuss a coup in China without first verifying that it actually happened.”

Curt McArdle, a British teacher, “The whole thing seems like a massive own goal for Zeng, NTD/Epoch and anyone else sharing it. All it does is paint them as either gullible or untrustworthy…”

Jerry Wang on Twitter, “Why are we—not just China or the US but practically the whole world—so soft with journalists spreading unverified stories?” asked Jerry Wang on Twitter.

Davide Melia, who works as a teacher in China: “I am quite jealous of people who get paid good money to just sit around and occasionally churn out completely made-up stuff that a not-insignificant number of people will take totally at face value.”

Indian Media’s Anti China Obsession ​

The role of India’s media in spreading anti-China disinformation and fake news has been noted by many observers. This time round Indian twitter users (the third largest number of Twitter users in the world) together with the country’s digital media went to extraordinary lengths to disseminate the coup rumour. Ordinary citizens who do not have a grasp of world politics can be excused for spreading the story.

However, the way in which prominent media such as The Hindustan Times, ZeeNews India, India Today, Daily News and Analysis, Livemint and others with professional journalists and all the information and sources in the world available contributed to making the coup story the talk of India is especially worrying.

Admittedly, China and India have a turbulent post colonial relationship marked by border wars and rivalry in the region. China’s close relationship with Pakistan, India’s arch enemy since the days of independence continues to be a major source of concern for the Indian government and public.

But new factors are contributing to the unfavourable and often hostile attitude of India towards China. They include the following

• Envy and jealousy with the rise and development of China
• Fragile self confidence with what India has achieved in comparison with China
• Government efforts to whip up nationalist sentiment to make up for domestic failures
• Indian media role in tarnishing China with anti-China news and analysis to win greater market share and to be seen as supportive of the government
• Western government success in wooing Modi’s government away from neutrality towards a more aggressive anti China position

Perhaps it is not surprising that the Xi ouster and military takeover story should find its largest audience in India. However, can this egg on the face which has only undermined India’s credibility in news reporting become the starting point of a return to higher journalistic standards? And a less obviously anti China positioning by a nation admired for its earlier foreign policy independence and neutrality.

If you believe the Western stories then you must be the biggest fool about. When West doesn't likes someone then he is portrayed worst then the Hitler and if you are of any use to them then you are the saviour of the world even you may be a bloody junky.
