China censors 'Tiananmen' image of young female athletes hugging

[frigidweirdo]

Two young Chinese athletes made China proud after their showing in the 100 meter hurdles race in the Asian Games. One of them, shown below, won Gold. Yet all the most iconic images of them hugging each other after the race … were “blacked out” in Chinese media and on the internet. Why?

Asian Games: China censors 'Tiananmen' image of athletes hugging

The photo, showing the combination of numbers 6 and 4 , has been scrubbed on Chinese social media.

No, it wasn’t because their emotional hug might suggest anything improper — though these days reports or images suggesting Lesbian or Gay relationship are often censored, given that the Chinese CCP is encouraging more women to marry and have children. Non-traditional sexual relationships, especially among women, are often looked upon as “unpatriotic” and suspiciously …“Western.”

No, the real reason for the image being censored was simply the coincidence that the “lane numbers” pinned to their running shorts unfortunately together appeared as “6/4” — the date used to refer to the pro-democracy Tiannamen Square demonstrations in 1989 that were ended by the CCP with violence on June 4th. All public internet discussion of “6/4” is verboten in China, and the once massive candlelight rallies in Hong Kong to commemorate the event have also now been forbidden.

Just a little example of the craziness of controlled media and public life in totalitarian China under XiJinping.

What do they do on the 4th of June every year?

I get the feeling that some censor has been told 6/4 is bad, and they've seen it, and censored it without even knowing why.

The CCP doesn't control anything, since there is no CCP
However you are absolutely correct that your paymaster, aka your spiritual guide the CIA - indeed want's to control all sources.

Technically no "CCP", there is the 中国共产党

But it's going to be a little difficult to write and understand 中国共产党 every time, isn't it?

"

Abbreviation	CCP (common) CPC (official)

"

Translation from different languages isn't an exact science.

We say "Beijing" because that's how it's written in Pinyin. However you could write it Peiking too, doesn't make it wrong because it's not Pinyin.

For example Urumqi is called Urumqi in English, but in Chinese it is Wulumuqi, we don't use the Chinese pinyin version.

 

[Kruska]

You lie again! CCP and CPC have been used interchangeably for as long as the party has existed. It’s only lately that the CCP has started to say that it’s racist to not say CPC. The CCP intention is to create a situation where the CCP=China. That’a ridiculous, since Chinese culture has already been largely destroyed on the mainland and only really exists on Taiwan.

No you simply don't understand the issue of the 6 years lasting CSR and it's later implications towards the Culture revolution of 1969.

As such it is comparable as to China, ignorantly referring to the USA as the UCS, Union and Confederacy States. In Chinese. = liánméng hé bānglián guójiā and therefore stating that according to Chinese language the USA needs to be called LHBG.

Furthermore you don't understand that in the Chinese language, there is no "Communist" - but it's termed Gongchandang = Common Property Party. Which if you would have read upon the founding father of the Gongchandang, and later Mao and e.g. Deng and Xi, is essentially a Chinese developed Socialist Model and NOT Communism at all.

Communism:
Advocating for a classless system in which the means of production are owned communally and private property is nonexistent.

It is therefore only in the foreign translations that the word Communism shows up - aka CPC. In a way it reflects the present Modi idea/dilemma to change the English word India to Bharat.

CCP only comes in - due to the KMT and the USA having been horrified about the CSR - henceforth referring to the CPC as "them Chinese Communists" and naturally bringing about the idea - that the political party must therefore be called CCP.

There is nothing Chinese about the CCP or CPC. True Chinese culture can mostly be found on Taiwan. The Cultural Revolution destroyed the party’s claim to be truly Chinese.

This is not worth arguing about here. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the official translation and abbreviation. The “Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is an informal name & abbreviation often used in the U.S.A.

Of course both refer to the same party, but to be diplomatic and in scholarly or respectable news articles, it is best to use the official abbreviation.

Here is English Wikipedia:

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), officially the Communist Party of China (CPC), is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC).”

The Chinese government has regularly used CCP in the past. The controversy is manufactured to gain sympathy and spread allegations of racism about anyone that opposes them.

I don’t doubt it. I was writing for the crowd here at USMB, and used CCP at first simply because I didn’t want to write it all out and figured few here would even know what “CPC” meant.

What utter bullshit!

Actually, it is Republicans who want everyone to ignore and “conveniently forget” … “1/6” !

The Democratic & “Trump Republican” Parties and all of us Independents are right now in the middle of debating what happened on Jan. 1st 2021, and all sides and every American is perfectly free to reprint photos and write articles & comments “explaining” exactly what they feel it represented. Our courts are still in process of judging criminal or alleged criminal activity that occurred on that date.

Our democratic republic and your free speech rights under the Constitution now and in future will always allow even for ignoramuses like you to say whatever nonsense you wish to say about all of this … as you just have!

That's what the Nazis called it too. Moron.

Read some history and you won't come across as such a moron.

What Chinese Culture exists and is being practiced on Taiwan (China) that according to only you, wouldn't exist in the PRC?

Show me a Chinese (PRC) written article that would use CCP

The Cultural Revolution destroyed the party’s claim to be truly Chinese.

The Culture Revolution was conducted by exactly those Soviet hardliners of the CSR - who indeed wouldn't mind to be termed CCP.

You are a typical Lefty&Lib - who simply refutes facts and promotes lies in order to press false allegations. Towards any political system that hinders you and your alike from manipulating it.

“Abbreviation: CCP (common) CPC (official)”

— Chinese Communist Party - Wikipedia

I had stated in my previous post - that CCP only shows up in foreign translations and websites.
So you post a Wiki Article for what?
BTW - anyone who conducts a serious/professional discussion would IMO never cite Wiki - since everyone knows who and how these articles are written.

The Flag you show is the Flag by Wiki - see the below correct flag of the CPC - unchanged since 1921 till today, even in the CSR.

Flag of the CSR - Chinese Soviet Republic 1931 - 1938

And CCP does NOT refer to CPC - it only came into use, due to the KMT and the USA referring to the CSR as being a Chinese Communist State - adopting Stalinism and being supported and controlled by the Soviet-union. From 1934 -1936 the Soviet Chinese Communists had taken over the Central Committee - of the Communist Party of China - do you understand the difference between a State Flag and a Party?
Flag?
Due to Mao getting rid of those Communist hardliners - aka Soviet Chinese Communists - the CPC flag (Party flag) never changed.

And it was those Soviet inspired ideologists of the former CSR who caused and initiated the Culture Revolution - since private farming and private businesses had existed and been allowed by the CPC till 1966.

From 1966 - till 1976 the CPC members of the Central Commission were hunted down, imprisoned and many murdered. Those citizens who opposed the CSR revolutionaries faced the same fate for 10 years. It then took the CPC to restore it's initial policy almost 4 years - till Deng succeeded in restoring it.

Therefore it is understood for anyone who is familiar with the CPC policy since 1921, that the CPC is NOT a CCP.

It is pure Western arrogance - foremost beheld by those FAKE Western democracies - that refuse to acknowledge historical occurrences and facts.
Exact the same "mentality" can be seen if they refer to the Russian Federation - trying to desperately link Putin and the Russian federation towards Czarist Russia and the USSR.

As for westwall - he is essentially correct - (independent of my personal opinion that Trump is a human scumbag) who is simply making use of an American population %, that is unhappy and discontent as to how Lefty&libs are screwing up the USA and all other Western FAKE democracies.

The CSR Communists were basically of the same political mindset as Western Lefty&Libs - make everyone supposedly equal, promote minorities over majorities, destroy the existing Culture of a nation (Culture revolution) in order to control the entire society according to their MARXIST principles. Which doesn't come as a surprise - since anyone who is familiar with the topic, knows exactly as to where those Lefty&Libs and their Green buddies come from.

Naturally Americans who fear or oppose Communism (but don't understand that the PRC is NOT a communist state) & those Americans and Westerners who want to run a MARXIST driven society, refer to the CPC as CCP.

That is why I identify you and referred to you as a "Reactionary" looking for the same people and associating in China solely with Chinese Lefty&Libs propagating "democracy" - since without a FAKE democracy - lefty&Libs got no chance to manipulate, enforce their agenda and take control of a society. see Taiwan.

And 80% of China's population is fully aware of what a FAKE democracy is essentially about!!! - therefore they REFUTE it. Just as they managed to successfully end the Culture revolution aka the MARXIST Lefty&Lib revolution that almost killed of China. Therefore NO ONE want's these Lefty&Libs in China - since they already had them for 10 years.

The vast majority of Chinese belief that they can arrange far more easily with Trump and MAGA's, then with those US democrats - manipulated and corrupted by lefty&Libs - who constantly highlight human rights bullshit about China and hence trying to form a FAKE democracy alliance against China.

Trumps issue with China was purely based on unequal economic rights - barring or hindering US companies from making their fair profit.
The CPC factually realized and acquitted to Trumps demands - changing and adopting a hell of a lot of new laws and regulations to make it a fair competition - (which was already on the way - due to the EU having forwarded the same concern) before Trump got though on it.

So China aka the CPC made significant amendments - what has Biden done? he simply keeps all the tariffs and technical sanctions onto China - even increasing them - hoping that the CPC would bow out towards a FAKE democracy. And ALL these FAKE democracies are gathering behind the lefty&Lib controlled USA - aka Biden administration - in order to screw China, Russia, etc. etc. into submission.

Yes - exactly, the Lefty&Lib conducted revolution clearly tried to destroy the Chinese culture - they lost out after 10 years and China today display's and practices exactly the same culture it has practiced for the past 3000 years. Same Temples and religious practices. They are still less superstitious then their Chinese migrant cousins. - which is however clearly progressing in the past 20 years.

You only babble personal opinions and nonsense - factual sources? NONE.
