I was a tour leader in China in 2006-7, taking groups of westerners from Hong Kong to Beijing in 3 weeks, the office was in Yangshuo (a stunning place).

I can unequivocally agree with your piece for that period of time.

BBC like CBC is pure propaganda and i refuse to watch/read or hear them.

Interesting times Wayne, I was in Yangshou for the first time around the same period, it's changed a lot since then and unfrotunately, not all for the better, althoug, outside of the town centre, it's lovely,t he town itself is now tacky and touristy - I do like the region though

I still have friends there and they say the same.

I always on my time off head into the rural areas.

One of my favourite places is upper Yunnan, specifically Deqin!

Yes but weren't people just dropping dead in the street like flies at the onset of Covid? 😱 I distinctly remember the secret footage brought back during an alleged complete lockdown of "totalitarian China" by a proven CIA operative which surely is proof enough 🤣

Query: Did Trump start funding USAID to provide much needed aid (US$) to propaganda networks again? Or, maybe PM Keir Starmer started funding the propaganda arm of the BBC, i.e., via back door fundraising programs by the USA's Democratic Party.

Trump stopped funding BBC because they were anti his re-election - he's a vindictive man

That link is broken. I haven't watched the Beeb for years and was mildly curious.
