I'm glad for them to block the troll farms, but a bit disappointed they continue to allow state media arms such as Global Times to keep pumping stuff out. Supposedly independent media outlets have even had the exact same headlines on some anti HK items they've shared in recent days. Funny that would happen with supposedly competing publications...

I think the West is far from having woken up to the danger that China represents. I wouldn't honestly be writing this if I was still in the PRC, but things are moving so much faster than most people are aware. Alarm bells should be ringing much more loudly.

I am not anti-China by any means, but there are aspects of Chinese world view and approach that starkly contrast with Western values and ideology and will very likely impose in uncomfortable ways soon.
