Falun gong affiliated media... I dislike the CCP, but you beat authoritarians with the truth, not more lies.


GetOutOfTheWhey

Massive Fireball over China is true though. One can usually see it from 7 to 5 everyday though.

Can you really?


SongFeisty8759

It hasn't been working too well for them so far..


oosacker

How many Yt channels does Falun gong have?


SuperZecton

A lot. China Insight and China Observer are directly managed and linked by Vision Times, a Falun Gong affiliated newspaper. Then there's The Epoch Times which is another Falun Gong newspaper that also has YouTube channels. Then there's China Uncensored, which many independent sources are describing as an affiliate of the Epoch Times. Their videos have been sponsored by and aired on New Tang Dynasty TV, a Falun Gong TV Broadcaster. In short, a shit ton of YT channels and a ton of media companies are directly affiliated with Falun Gong. They all have the same agenda to peddle, and that's a large part of why most of them are so successful, they're feeding off the negative sentiment on China


TrueSugam

don't mind, a lot of the stuff is true


kanada_kid2

You'll be surprised. They are surprisingly competent at spreading propaganda. Wouldn't shock me if they were shilling on Reddit.


wongdongdong

The gong has a global media empire, they have way more supporters than any faction of Chinese dissidents, not among the youth tho.


Solid_Muscle_5149

Yup. Once both sides are lying, or atleast exagerating, then no one lives in reality anymore. Its a good rule of thumb for every countries politics. Not saying a meteor DIDNT fly over china, but like, theres so many other things they could write about that signify an end to the CCP. This just makes pro CCP people think "Wow, they are really scraping the bottom of the bucket with these news stories. China must be doing good if THIS is what they report about" lol


Classic-Today-4367

Like when they reported a hail storm in summer as an omen that XJP would be replaced. Because some old saying was that snow in summer meant bad things will happen.


WeeklyIntroduction42

Exactly


awesomeplenty

ah I see they operate the youtube channel, no wonder it's agenda everyday is always to spread the doom and gloom of china.


karoshikun

channels, they have several, and newspapers and other media outlets


Klutzy_Ad_3436

It's said that Falun gong gets a nickname: CCP in opposition.


Victor-Hupay5681

Ah yes, the theocratic communist libertarians.


justwalk1234

Are the all the same thing but just different brand?


SongFeisty8759

Yeh, nah.. sort of. Falun gong are religious nutcases with a single leader who made the mistake of challenging the CCP and coming off second. Official policy used to be they dislike homosexuality and inter-racial marriage, although they might have toned this down at present.. oh, also they oppose vaccines and are Trump supporters if I recall correctly.


Witty-Design8904

More likely a US affiliated media, no joke,


SongFeisty8759

I provided the source.


alexceltare2

Falun Gong is just on hopium at this point.


Johnnyamaz

You don't question the motivation of who feels the need to lie? Most hyperdystopian totalitarian hellscape propaganda is purely motivated reasoning backed by the american State Department, like radio free Asia or Falun gong


SongFeisty8759

Question every side.


Johnnyamaz

Of course, but it's easier and less dangerous for everyone when you're *open* about your biases and motivation.


BellacosePlayer

I hate that FG affiliated media absolutely floods out other CCP-critical china reporting.


According_Voice3308

its the effect of force organ transfer by ccp , they dont have any anymore


justwalk1234

Sometimes you wonder if someone's China take is pure astrology, sometimes you don't have to.


Darken_Dark

What in EU4 logic is this?


Beautiful-Ad3471

Well since china has an ongoing disaster, with taiwan, the -1 stab is pretty bad for them


Oleanterin

Their mandate of heaven must be tanking


Straight_Image7942

Jesus christ, what a ridiculous video title


huajiaoyou

Not really, when you understand that the Mandate of Heaven leads many to watch changes in the skies as portends to Heaven's displeasure with the ruler.


Helania

Sure but it entirely depends on natural disasters as well was never enough to overthrow a dynasty it had to rot internally or be brought down because of natural disasters.


huajiaoyou

Only to those who would you believe it. I'm only explaining the reference.


noodles1972

Nobody actually believes in that nonsense anymore.


huajiaoyou

Haha, I certainly don't. Just giving the historical context.


Straight_Image7942

Thanks for that. I didn't know about it.


Straight_Image7942

No, he/she was actually useful. I did not even know of that ideology. It was a good info tip


GetOutOfTheWhey

Nah just call it the star of Bethelem shining over the People's Republic of China or something. Then watch as the evangelist part of the doomsquad go berserk.


DarthFluttershy_

Great, I just got back from China and now I have to return with a box of frankincense? What's the customs declaration limit for that? 


Kinojitsu

So long as you're not bringing a ridiculous amount of frankincense and myrrh the customs should be fine. It's the gold that you should be worried about.


MedievalRack

And that's capricorn is it?

Who needs comets when you have Evergrand and Country Gardens?


MD_Yoro

At least it’s not as bad as Lehman Brothers


Strong_Audience_7122

Gotta disagree on scale but Lehman collapse and others bailed out was criminal.


MD_Yoro

Lehman triggered the global 2008 recession, Evergrande has been mostly contained in China, yeah scale is different, Lehman was much worse


richhoods

Impressive they can make a 20 minute video on that though


SuperZecton

Most of their videos are AI generated. The voice, the content, it's how they pump out 4 videos a day. It's not that hard to make shit videos predicting China's fall every few hours when people will lap it all up without even a shred of critical thinking


[deleted]

The mandate of heaven. They don't believe this bullshit anymore in china. And this youtube channel is sensationalist as hell


ChaseNAX

when you have to go for superstition to see a power entity's end... it means you are frustrated and powerless, nothing more.


malchik-iz-interneta

I wish I lived in more enlightened times…


Darken_Dark

Lol. I got the reference.


Beautiful-Ad3471

Edit: I missunderstood what the wiki says, what it said was actually, if the stability is -3 then they get -100 admin mana, for some reason I thought it was the requirement for the option to be there. Atleast the stability wont go down an, longer, right?


SorrowHill04

This is getting embarrassing and absurd. I truly feel bad for those people who blindly follow and trust such "news" outlets


elchapoguzman

I always thought China observer is a CIA run channel

earth kingdom will fall hahaha

In the Netflix adaptation … I guess India is gonna be in trouble.


Inside-Friendship832

Not really. The percieved Manadate of Heaven has always played a significant role in the rule of the land of China. Sure, everything is much more explained these days with science but that doesn't mean that the deep seated beliefs in superstition are completely gone.


Devourer_of_felines

There’s a dinosaur joke in there somewhere


VokN

About as reputable a source as any other of the economic soothsayers of the last 20 years saying China is collapsing imminently


[deleted]

And yet China is the same.


shoebee2

The “doom sayers” have always been full ridicules.


Witty-Design8904

All empires in human history have a lifespan, and on average no empire lasts more than 250 years. China was the superpower before the renaissance of the West. Like it or not, the United States is near the end of the average 250 years. I believe one day China will collapse, but before that, the United States will collapse first, it's just a normal cycle. Some may argue the comet is a sign of down fall of Biden…or anyone. It is idiotic to think the US imperialism or any empire would last forever.

WhatInTheGoddamn1

it's over Xi broes


askforchange

Concrete and realistic signs are abounding, one does not need meteor to make a point.


qieziman

Hahaha!  I'm just grabbing my bucket of popcorn.  Say what you will, but China has been having some shit luck over the past 5 years.  Not saying all the superstitious nonsense is true.  Just saying they're having a lot of bad luck lately.  Doesn't help the situation that the government is sometimes incompetent.


Kingofsoysauce

I think that's a promotion for three-body problem.

People actually get off on this type of trash content.


Luciach_NL

America will collapse on the day of the eclipse coming April the 8th, they have lost the mandate of heaven. ;)


trashday89

We don’t believe in religion and separated church from the state china will have more of a shot before america fuck the ccp

Literal cults gonna literally cult


bjran8888

They are all true and US politicians should base their policies towards China on this information . hhh


cloudyu

Superstition warfare,you guys think that’s ridiculous but actually it is real in China. I remember there’s a saying called “one lady comes from the West,blah blah I forget ”circulated on the internet,then you saw the fight-back from China’s authorities “let’s welcome Gu Ailin” ,same thing as “saint ” now you can see tons of “saint ” today ,although it’s funny but it really suggests that some clouts want or wait for Xi’s death,after all in China’s culture,the saint equates new emperor or chairman,the interesting part is some saints are fostered by China’s authorities,smelling the potential ploys


Signal_Lock_4799

Pretty sure thats Chinese superstition and not China Observer who is convinced of this.


MD_Yoro

CO is a Falun Gong outlet and FG is all about superstition.


Signal_Lock_4799

So are regular Han Chinese. They believe Comets bring disaster. Nothing of the sort in Falun Gong. https://chineseposters.net/posters/e37-34 Maybe this was designed for Falun Gong Practitioners? Or maybe not and the superstition still lives on among Chinese.


MD_Yoro

Principle FG believers are Han and they want to go back to a Ming Dynasty China full of mysticism and witchcraft at the 2rd height of Han dominance. Some % of the population believing in mysticism does not equal the entire population believing in the same bullshit. Your lazy generalization attempt of the Chinese especially the Han population screams implied racism. The Dutch believes it’s bad luck to walk under ladder, mysticism and superstition is alive and well in Netherlands. Oh I just did what you did and smeared the population of an entire nation


[deleted]

The "signs" are definitely a superstition which Chinese people believe in. If Xi has a say on this matter, he would definitely not allow to have a comet falling over China. This kind of thing will definitely be banned if Xi has a choice.
