China International Trust Investment Corporation(State own corporation) is going to buy Tencent?
Guys, I'm about to lose it. I fuckibg detest my parents. They are the biggest shit stains I know. They keep echoing alt-right talking points while they have no contact with regular society except their small idiot circle and WeChat. What's worse about the Chinese echo chamber is that there are no good voices to show them that it's BS that they're spouting. At least I couldn't find any. Now I admit part of the problem is my Chinese reading skills aren't great, so maybe I don't Google hard enough.
Are there any good Chinese websites out there that can combat this? Because no matter how much info I dig up, there's no way they would read it since they can't.

China chinese?
Good luck, anything from Taiwan, etc are fake, etc.
In other news, anyone want their own cursed statue from the Taiwanese film Incancation can buy one
Yes, China Chinese. I'm not talking about sites that focus on China's issues, but America's issues.
Wow, that looks like something some modern dude would do.Wall scroll from a monk during the Edo Period(400+ year ago)
Sorry to hear that. I thought Taiwanese Chinese were more likely to go alt-right cos Trump was also so anti-China. Pretty sure there were a few of them at the Jan 6 insurrection. I dunno how Mainland Chinese fall into the alt-right trap when Trump hates China so much.
I think the best option might be to try widen their social circle in real life. Might be difficult since your Chinese is not good anyway. But no amount of giving them real news is likely to change their mind. They need to get the heck off WeChat, it's a cesspool of false information, so long as it's not information that could subvert the Chinese government.

This happened at the 4th well bell John award a few day ago in Taiwan, it is a award that started out as a joke for youtuber, and now somehow is a serious award show with actual musician and idol participating and news too.
What happened in this incident was the guy on the stage is a comedian 賀瓏, made a joke about 孫生(Male idol) girlfriend recent news on the tabloid<Something about her kissing or being kissed by a man who is married)
Well~ there's a problem~
Because the problem isn't exactly Chinese, Taiwan or Japanese news them.
Alot of time, the local news are just translating what the US news is saying, so AP News, CNN, Fox news.
The only option is maybe...help them find community of Chinese living in the US and social with them or play facebook game with them, and they can hear their "real" experience on living in the US instead.
It's other Chinese that are feeding them this bullshit to begin with.
These two are good on international news.
But there isnt really a solution to other on wechat except to join other geoup.
This is how I feel about my foolish parents listening to alt-righr Viet youtubers who just rehash Fox News or Newsmaxx headlinws or whatever. Garbage in, garbage out.
They are too lazy to read real news sources. They get bored. They just wanna hear oral vitriol that confirms their own conservative and anti-communist/anti-china beliefs.
Been meaning to reply to this for a while, apologies that it is so late. I have no good source of info for them but I can share my experience and I guess some thoughts on it.
I was going out of my mind trying to pull my father and some others from nonsense circles. I was wracked with anxiety and guilt. Mum, at least can be persuaded through cautionary rhetorics and her general belief that much is simply not known or not the truth. Dad is pretty much a write off and every sit down was torturous. My sister and I have been working for years now trying to pull him out of this nonsense circle of misinformation but after a particularly stressful period my brother in law, in the most supportive way possible told us bluntly that we cannot succeed in this. He would rather lie to us in an argument. We cannot win.
Dad is old. His ability to reason has deteriorated and it is only going to get worse. As it does, he will continue to lose to his emotions and that includes emotional influences from his circle of friends. The best we can do is prepare for the fallout and be there when he needs us. It is not worth plunging our own lives into a spiral of anxiety and stress in pursuit of helping him - when he doesn't want to be helped.
Knowing all the above I honestly let go a lot of stress. I also put it bluntly to my dad that I no longer want to hold certain conversations - some topics are going to get me in trouble at work and put my entire career in jeopardy. This, at least he will respect after some grumbling. I'll take any win I can. I know he still believes and reads trash but at least we can have a mostly decent conversation over some tea now.
To be fair, some family hard deny this method. They feel you sort of need to go all in for family and while I appreciate their input and love but they can fuck right off cause they aren't in my position. Like, love my fam but fuck the headspace my sis and I were in because of this.
I don't know how helpful my post is. I guess I just want to say that at the end of the day you need to take care of yourself first and you can't change everyone. Your struggles are also no unique sadly, there are many similar family situations as ours. I wish you the best of luck.

22 year old Japanese youtuber Rin that stream her living in the country side in Hokaido
Specifcally Tsururui(Red crown crane) village
She started her channel in december 2020, and has gotten a good amount of viewer and fan that are also visiting the village.
She moved to the village, because it's considered the most beautiful village where the crane visit
She posted a major update a few day ago, since her fan noticed she has been posted update from nearby Shirotoko instead of the village, she had moved out of the village secretly, because of male villager harassing her
Man from the village keep on trying to meet with her alone
And as the more man she refuse, bad rumor of her start spreading
She tried to ask her senpai for help
And his condition of helping her is if she befriend another of his friend, who's father is a local government official(Representitvie or congress thing)
So because of all that, she decided to take a break and visited Shirotoko on her other friend and mother advice
While staying in Shirotoko, in the middle of the night, her manager called her and told her to get out of there, her fans and her agency got wind that there was a plot to assault her in the middle of the night, but since she was not there, so the plot didn't happen
So her management company and the police got involved, but even with her not there, when her fans visit the village, the villager and guide will say bad thing about Rin, ruining the mood of her fans trip/vsit)
And also the villager dumping all the snow in front of her home
Her management agency and her origionally didn't want to make this a big news, because alot of her viewer are younger, and it mgiht be bad for them to hear this "reality"
But decided to go public with it now.
And finally, she ask people not to harass the people of the village, most of them are nice, it's some of them that are the problem.

I know this thread is deader than dead, but if anyone's out there I'd actually love to hear your thoughts on Pixar's Elemental.
I took my son to see it yesterday. As a 40 something 2nd generation Korean-American immigrant who saw a LOT of my parents and my own experiences in this movie... I'm extremely mixed on it.
Mild spoilers herein:
Now I know what PIxar and Sohn have said how the allegory is not supposed to "fit" with any specific culture/ethnicity or whatever and supposed to be Universal, but when you have allusions to the Korean war, whole plot points around Jesa, it's hard to ignore how Korean it is.
My issue is that the viewpoint seems vested in the 70s/80s view of immigrant experiences. There's a clear K-town (Firetown) that is much more insular but the basic message of "acceptance" at the end teeters dangerously close to "assimilation" as end goal. For someone that grew up in a generation where parents actively tried to "hide" their Korean-ness, and focused on assimilation and blending, I don't think this is the best message these days. The messaging would have been much stronger with Ember finding her place with a unique culture that is not distinctly "water" or "fire," much like 2nd/3rd and beyond generation Asian-Americans have had to find in the last several decades. Instead the story has Ember going off to basically assimilate into the status quo culture. As far as the interelemental "dating" plot, it was cute and obviously simplistic and shouldn't be taken at anything but face value but for a topic that is super complex, (fetishization, emasculation, etc) it's bringing a plot point up but doesn't really engage in it. Do I expect a 1 1/2 hour Pixar movie to do so? Not necessarily, but it does stir up a lot in this day and age.
Look, I know I'm taking a CHILDREN'S movie way too seriously but I think it's because so much of this hits close to home. There were moments where I legitimately got a lump in my throat because seeing my parents in some of this was hard to ignore. It wasn't Ode to My Father, but it was similar-ish. So that being said, for a movie that has so many empathetic moments for me, it's frustrating that a lot of what it said was so cursory.

If a dev/publichser is want to put simplified chinese and traditional chinese language option, and is afraid to put Taiwan flag, since it might enrage the Chinese, their choice is...
Bubble Tea?

What if that ends up with bubble tea being banned? Easiest would be to use the HK flag , although soon someone will probably for for a move to simplified script there too.
That's actually hilarious, but I'd imagine this is where China starts trying to claim Bubble Tea as their own. 🤣If a dev/publichser is want to put simplified chinese and traditional chinese language option, and is afraid to put Taiwan flag, since it might enrage the Chinese, their choice is...

Thailand is suffering big drought, and they have a rain praying ritual that involve using cat.
The ritual call for a black cat to be put into the cage as a live sacrafice, and will be carried to every house in the village/town.
Where all the resident need to go out to meet the "drought"(Black cat) and put water onto it to make it scream.
But since using live cat is mean and unhuman, they've decided to use a Doraemon doll for this year again.
This isn't the first time, this also happened a few year ago

New Assassin Creed game that star Yasuke the black Samurai from the Sengoku Era and a origional female ninja chara.
Some asian era user express disappointment that there is no male ninja option, but is happy that Yasuke is in, and a female ninja(Which is echoed alot in Japan and other gaming site in SEA<Taiwan, etc>
But some wonder if using Yasuke as a real person, they can add in a male and female ninja and instead of using origional chara, like Yasuke, they could have used kotaro fuma and hanzo hattori as a male and female ninja option too.
Another common question I see is, how will romance be done, and how will Ubisoft present Sengoku Japan(Not worry, but interest to see their version of it)
It started on page 2, but I didn't go through all of it.
Assassin's Creed Shadows releases November 15 (PS5, Xbox Series, PC, Mac)
I just want to be exceedingly clear that I think having dual protagonists with one being Yasuke is a really good thing. I hope the people who are excited for that get everything they want out of the experience. I am happy for you, truly I mean that. But I can't help but feel a little sad to see...

GamerGate 2.0? Chuds furious about a consulting company named “Sweet Baby Inc” which overviews scripts to make sure nothing offensive was written
The amount of "the male experience is not the same" bullshit in the reveal thread. Good Lord. I'm holding myself back from cursing out these MFers.
www.resetera.com
The problem is, that gamergate and white people are using the disappointment of some people that like Ubisoft assassin game and thinking they will be represent, but is not as a reason to say to remove Yasuke and the female ninja, when that's not what the majority of Asian user are talking about.
