China seems to have thrown down HARD on the side of Russia, and from my news feed, our Google overlords seem like they can't contain their glee. For the last few days, I'm routinely getting news of the Russia-Ukraine war from China Daily, the Global Times, the People's Daily, etc. Now, I might have clicked on one of those (Global Times?) not realizing it was Chinese, which may have triggered an increase in the amount of Chi-Comm news sources I'm getting, but there are still three things I find interesting about this:
1) Of course, I can click on conservative news sources all day, and never get them treated like they're legit news sources.
2) This is way beyond official Chinese news organs. I'm getting all sorts of non- and anti-American news sources, including YouTube vloggers. I'm not labelling these as pro-Russian because they claim victory is imminent for Russia (they do), but because their feeds are filled with comments like, "All hail the glories of Russia!!!"
3) It's very disturbing to see how much China has thrown down on the side of Russia. Their articles don't mention the "Russian invasion of Ukraine," but "Russia's struggles with the West" or "the turmoil between Russia and Ukraine."
At the same time, China clams neutral disinterest, consider this article, "Malicious intention behind US’ fake news about China supplying weapons to Russia: Chinese FM" Their propaganda is so militated against describing the conflict in any way that suggests Russian aggression, you get this bizarre edit: "Now, they are spreading false information about China supplying weapons [for the Russia-Ukraine conflict], what are their intentions? The US claims, as always, that it wants to maintain peace, but in reality it's making big money from the war,"
A few hundred billion dollars of aid is not how you make big money, but note how they had to replace whatever wording was used for the "Russian-Ukraine conflict" by their own general?
The U.S. is strictly presented as the aggressor, and Russia as the helpless victim of the war. That same article insists China is neutral, but the next article that appears on my feed proclaims, "China-Russia friendship is positive asset to the world"
Google-fed pro-Russian propaganda isn't limited to Chinese; I'm also getting YouTube vloggers as news sources. I've never seen this before EVER on ANY news story. My top two news stories for "Bakhmut news" were from WION Live via YouTube and Hindustan Times, via YouTube. The funny thing is I can't find any print story from the Hindustan with the story from YouTube.
Top comments?
"Glory to Russian soldiers from India."
"Putin the all mighty leader of Russia, thank you for the victory. Z"
"Glory to Russia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
"Russia 🇷🇺 unstoppable."
Why? These aren't the newest; they don't have the most likes; they don't have the most comments; they're not gaining likes the fastest.
Most of the comments are awfully pro-Russian, but it's quite remarkable that Alphabet promotes this "news story" on the "news" page, and these comments once you get to the news story.
False narrative - your comment.
These should be facts not in dispute for any reasonable, right-thinking American with a sense of God, Family, and Country.
Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case in the country at large, nor here on FR where "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" seems to have taken a rather large toe hold.
There are no good guys in the China-backed Putin v. Biden-backed Ukraine war. Anyone who believes so is simply choosing one evil over another. That's still choosing evil.
Make no mistake about that.
If you’re implying support for a U.S. sponsored proxy war against Russia is patriotic, you’re wrong. And if you mean to say opposition to such a proxy war is unpatriotic, sorry, not letting you get away with that.
It is to China’s advantage for the war in Ukraine to take forever, since it keeps Russia and the US tied up while they expand. If China is supporting Russia right now, it’s because they see Russia as losing, and they don’t want the war to end.
So you’re saying Biden is doing China’s bidding by escalating the conflict with Russia? Just trying to keep this straight.
It is WWIII and we started it. Zelensky is a puppet for the CIA and the globalists.
Even Tucker Carlson gets it:
Tucker: This could lead to the destruction of the West

Needlessly provoking China over Taiwan doesn’t exactly endear their friendship with us - so why should anyone be surprised that we’ve now made enemies with the two strongest militraries in the world?
Biden is doing exactly what XI, Obama and the puppets want him to do. This has all been planned out for years. The destruction of the United States is the goal from within. It’s all happening and easy to see. It is all on purpose.
There was a news story on Google taking CCP cash to spread propaganda this morning - I think it was on one of the morning financial shows - I didn’t listen past the blurb.
What I see happening is that Biden’s actions in Ukraine are literally driving the Chicoms into the arms of Russia. Obviously, China loves the Ukraine war and wants more of it because it will wear down the EU and the U.S. economically and militarily. The U.S. needs to realize what its strategic objectives are and it’s not in Ukraine. Biden is a foreign agent so his actions are highly suspect since what he and his Commy Administration are doing may be very intentional, which is to deplete U.S. resources to where China and Russia can then do a takedown of the U.S.
Sorry, I don’t agree with you. I see no increase in propaganda from the other side because our news is filtered so that we do not see what our government doesn’t want us to see.
I do see a lot of stupid propaganda from MSM and DC. You know like air raid sirens going off as Joey stepped up to a red mark to purposely fool people into thinking an attack was eminent in Kiev.
So don’t make a fool out of yourself. Nobody here likes China, except Joey does do private bidness with them behind our backs.
Spend your time worrying about what has happened in your own country. That is what the real threat is. America is ruining America.
Just because smart Americans don’t want to follow the idiotic DC swamp crusade against Russia that has driven Russia into China’s arms does not mean that we are pro Russian. China is the main enemy and biggest threat and Biden has driven Russia to ally with China and soon China will flood the Ukraine with weapons soon. Chinese purchase of Russian goods has gone up by 60% over the past year. Biden’s idiotic sanctions on Russia forced the corporations of the West to pull out of Russia and China has filled the gap. Russians used to buy western cars but now 30% of of all new car sales in Russia are Chinese vehicles. Has the Zeeper hero Biden done anything to sanction China?
We are led by murderous idiots.
You do understand the rest of the world hates us, right?
No, I’m getting news about marriages, Carnival, Biden’s trip to Ukraine, local news, side hustles, and recipe ideas.

“A few hundred billion dollars of aid is not how you make big money”
Sorry, does not compute!
No they aren’t falling for Chinese propaganda. They are telling you the truth.
Biden and the US administration are more evil than Russia or the PRC. He is the most immoral national leader since Caligula or Nero. Just because of the perverts in his administration, but for every other reason as well. There is no possible argument about this!!! Quit thinking the US is somehow supporting righteousness, it is not.
The US is more evil, at this point than either China or Russia. Saying that does not mean I support either county. It is simply the truth.
Ukraine was Biden’s personal money laundering machine. He does not support Ukraine because it is the right thing to do. He does it protect his crime syndicate.
If it takes destroying Ukraine to rid the world of the evil that is Biden, so be it.
Supporting anything Biden supports is sinful until when and if he engages in public repentance and removes the blatant sin and the mentally ill, or demon processed people from his life and administration. It is sinful to support Ukraine simply because Biden and his ilk supports them.
That is not falling for Chinese or Russian propaganda. It is the opposite. The PRC wants to see the US and Russia bled dry. They want this war to drag out for years.
What nonsense! Why do you love Russian despotism so much? Why should every Russian neighbor become a Russian serf? Why do you support Putin’s plan to destroy the Ukrainian nation? Don’t Eastern-European nations that suffered under Russia have a good reason to hate Russia? Are Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Finns and Ukrainians all CIA agents?
You’re an idiot.
