I laughed really hard on the one hand😂... On the other hand, my Hongkonger #Mandarin may qualify for this list😅...
Sorry to all my mainlanders and Taiwanese friends who put up with me.
Foreign languages are usually an afterthought for moviemakers in the West.
RADII reviewed some especially terrible examples of spoken #Mandarin in movies and died a little inside, watch the full video here: https://t.co/ybg18IRpdk
Question for #GTVoice... China said 4 were killed in the China-India Skirmishes between 2020-21 while other sources said the numbers were 40+. So were those soldiers killed or not killed? Their families would love to know. https://t.co/L4Pfuw86Jb
#GTVoice: Western media outlets are hyping up South Asia as a “battleground,” alleging India and China have been locked in a tussle for geo-economic influence, which only reflects the West’s narrow-minded zero-sum game mentality. https://t.co/FyPO6MncMe
The Hong Kong Government is promoting "Constitution Law Day" to "educate" us on Constitution foundation and order.
They can cancel the all day event and replace it with an email which said:
tl;dr: There's no law but the law of Xi🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
🗨️Translation:
There's a new "black" paper revolution to support the Communist Party in China. They claimed "The country has protected us for 3 years. We don't need freedom. We need zero COVID". 🤡🤡🤡

Zhang Donghui, an art student born in 1992.
Arrested for writing 8 words at COVID testing stations:
"It's already been 3 years, I am numb."

A journalist asks Jacinda Ardern if she met with Finnish PM Sanna Marin just because the two are "similar in age" and have "a lot of common stuff".
It goes about as well as you'd expect.
All the forced greying out of website for Jiang Zemin's death reminds me of this interview.
A former Red Guard recall how she escaped mainland China and was no longer forced to show emotion that the party demanded.👇
💬We added caption to this interview of a former Communist Red Guard Ms. Choi. She explained what happened and why she choose Hong Kong over Mainland China. #NotMyNationalDay#PRC70#70YearsOn

In 2019, a Hong Kong cop pulled a gun without justification & grabbed the first person he saw in a headlock. Another protester in black tried to help the victim. The cop then shot him.
Today, the good samaritan was sentenced to 6 years in prison. The cop has never been punished.
FIFA has issued a takedown notice over this clip that shows how CCTV has been replacing crowd close-ups with other shots. Seems perfectly reasonable under Twitter's fair use policy. Let's see how the counter claim goes... https://t.co/6cwJmQYv4t
1/ Students holding a map of China and a black banner reading “ our lives are one” gathered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong on Monday to show support for protests in the mainland dubbed the “A4 Revolution."
Tell me there's a curfew without using the word curfew.
