This is one of many reasons why despite this forum hating on soft power continuously, I continue to stress the importance of soft power.

Take the differences in conditions between Germany and Singapore for instance. Here in Singapore, I learn from young to read and write Chinese. I am probably not as proficient as a mainlander, but I still know Chinese. We have our Chinese language television channel, independently produce Chinese television dramas and variety shows, have our own Chinese language official newspaper. Chinese New year is an officially recognized state holiday.

Most importantly, I can speak Chinese anywhere I want without feeling awkward or being accused of being a SeePeePee spy.

All of this is soft power. Soft power isn't just dancing kpop boys and girls. Soft power is a real societal difference. It provides the basis for diaspora to reconnect back with their original civilizations.

It is a lot more reasonable to do so in Singapore, in germany we have maybe half a million chinese permanent residents. Not so easy to just speak chinese when the 90% rest of the populace is 24/7 regurgurating MSM shit.

What's your point? The latter is a territory consisting of 75% ethnic Chinese, while the former has a Chinese population of 200,000 in a country of 84 million people. Even then I hear that Chinese living in countries that promote multilingualism like Netherlands and Germany tend to preserve their language skills almost perfectly, compared to Chinese living in Anglo countries who aren't even conversationally proficient.

Biggest problem for german diaspora that I know is writing/reading proficiency, and nobody wants to be called an illiterate.

Speaking is most of the time ok, albeit most of the diaspora I know are from Zhejiang and they mostly speak dialect at home but mandarin too sometimes.

Word on the street is these arrests are motivated by the fact that these Fujianese societies were responsible for organizing all the protests against Tsai when she visited US, in case you need more reasons to hate crazy cat lady.

In the future when organizing such events diaspora should use the same tools and organization methods that NED coloured revolution folk uses for OpSec, give them a taste of their own medicine.

So I’ve posted this before but to refresh people

The NGO that brought this whole “secret police stations” nonsense was “Safeguard Defenders”.
The cofounder of Safeguard Defenders is a Swedish man, Peter Dahlin. He is also a contributor to the Epoch Times

On the about us of the NGO, you will find many of the people have connections to Taiwan

In addition, they also have connections to RFA and Apple Daily.

The “senior advisor” Michael Caster from the USA is one of those people who somehow can make a living from never holding a real job and right after getting his BA in 2008 (

) can go to help co-found a human rights NGO in China in 2009…

RFA, Taiwan, Falun Gong, Apple Daily, give me the free space and I’m calling BINGO!

Who is the source on "Serbia selling weapon to Ukraine" in the same "leak" then? The Russians or the Serbians?

Wasn't the US first said China sold lethal weapons to Russia, then said there is no evident? Seriously, the US is basically saying white is and is not black at the same time, and think that can somehow confuse people?

US behaviour has become a laughing stock. Disinformation is to make enemy believing something, doubt something, unsure of anything. However I think they have tried too hard that more and more people (me included) choose not to take their "leak" with any value. If we want to know something, just do our own study, ignore the US.

If you think the US MSM is full of lies you should also refute it based on FACT and not your own assumptions.

In fact it doesn't even take a secret informer for me to know that Serbia has been supplying weapons to the Ukrainian authorities. The video shows that back in 2019 the Ukrainian army was using 60mm mortar shells made by the Serbian company Krusik;

Now the Ukrainians are using Serbian made G2000 122mm rockets. (The cartridge color features and the silver paint job on the rocket propulsion section match the Serbian G2000 rocket)


And "secret informer" told me that Finland is providing additional support to the Ukrainians. The video shows the Ukrainians firing the Finnish painted 2A36 cannon.


Seriously, if you do some digging on social media, you too can become a "secret informer".

You might as well speak more clearly.

What kind of approach needs to be developed?
