Taiwanese are rushing to buy patches being worn by their air force pilots that depict a Formosan black bear punching Winnie the Pooh - representing China’s President Xi Jinping - as a defiant symbol of the island’s resistance to Chinese war games.
I don’t think many people are gonna have “hot takes” based on a vaguely titled article behind a paywall.
Also “scandals” to do with the Chinese military have little to do with someone saying that Taiwanese military badges don’t prove anything about the situation in China.
I thought about asking how would state controlled media be able to publish anything about an image if it’s banned. Then I figured that’s pretty obvious, and didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. Should have known better than to try and go against the narrative. My bad.
Would be my reaction too if I wouldn’t be able to corroborate claims. Did you know the Ukrainians claim to be winning the war? So do the Russians.I wonder who’s right?
I see you’re not smart enough to recognize a rhetorical question and choose to use it as a deflection from not being able to corroborate your ridiculous claim that you can’t post winnie the poh on chinese social media. Basically I was trying to highlight that anyone can claim anything it’s why @SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world is right in asking for your homework libshit
I feel like the Taiwanese air force wouldn’t bother with these unofficial patches if there weren’t at least some truth to it.
A punch in the face for Xi caricature: Taiwan air force badge goes viral
Have they cast themselves as ‘pedo bear’?
Yeah armies are well known to be fact driven and not doing propaganda /s
🤔 Interesting. China Military Calls for Efforts to Repair Image after Scandals
Got any hot takes about this army?

But all armies=bad and propaganda, no?
I don’t see the logic in this sentence. What makes those soldiers a more reliable source than you or me? Taiwanese people read memes too.
👌

Who’s talking about getting something from state controlled media?
😂

Yeah idk, who do you believe is the aggressor in that situation?

😂 so anyway, who is the aggressor?
With Love, Libshit
Do the Taiwanese not also like dank memes?
