The ending to the Chinese version of fight club is that the Chinese police stormed in and arrested everyone and saved the day. This was available as a text card. No joke
My FIL (Chinese immigrant) thinks it's not about COVID anymore but about it being a loyalty test to the government. Also, apparently the Chinese government has a track record of not wanting to admit they're wrong.
There is a multitude of reasons here... Firstly, China has probably the strongest face culture in the world where an admission of fault loses face for the government which cannot happen. There is always either a scapegoat or nothing wrong has happened. Xi wants to make beating covid his big achievement for his reign and if he backs down now it would be too much of a humiliation. That's why they won't show other countries already beat it.
China's vaccines don't work as well with the new strains of COVID and more importantly there is a low vaccination rate among old people who are the most likely to die They calculate they'd be millions of deaths if they opened the country up and weighed this against the economic slowdown and obviously bad effects on younger people, especially the lockdown fire that killed people not long ago.
Because they have set the virus up as the enemy. That means there are only two outcomes: victory, where the virus is eradicated, and defeat, where the virus is allowed to continue existing. At this point, the party believes that if they relax restrictions then they will have "lost" the fight against COVID.
I remember a time here on reddit where casting doubt on a zero covid strategy was massively downvoted or resulted in an outright ban. I would say China's doing exactly what most redditors wanted to do.
It actually has to do with a lot of the underdeveloped parts of the country. China is a highly paradoxical country, in that it has some of the most modern, high-tech cities in the world, and then you go to other parts of the country and they’re still stuck in the 1950’s. Most of those parts of the country are still something like over 80% unvaccinated and only until recently have some of them had their first major outbreak. The Chinese vaccines for the most part aren’t as effective as the western ones, and if there was a major COVID outbreak there, it would absolutely decimate those rural areas that don’t have a lot of medical infrastructure.
In the beginning, I thought maybe they knew something about it that we didn’t. Maybe covid antibodies stay dormant and we all become zombies in the year 2040. My tinfoil hat is showing.
I think we have to admit, that so far the zero COVID strategy has worked well for China. The issue with this strategy is that you never reach flock immunity. Now they either have to start vaccinating thoroughly or keep the very strict restrictions. And since the rest of the world have started relaxing the restrictions it becomes harder to avoid contamination from outside. I guess it's not possible for the Chinese government to admit that this is indeed the situation, leaving the people very angry.
It's darkest before the dawn. All Xi's increased control is backfiring on him, just like the excessive control of the Iranian regime. Both of those along with Putin could crumble faster than we think. What replaces it will be interesting.
Fuck us. We buy so much shit from China. Damn near everything in the USA is China made. China supports slave labor and tyranny? We buy all their shit so we support all that
While I think that it is bad that they do it for the wrong reason. I actually prefer see the play. Sometimes the main stream misses quickly executed free kicks or corner kicks. While showing fans.
Sigh. I find this rich. Covid is in its deadliest time yet where I live. Literally has not been worse and we have absolutely 0 precautions. We're literally having classes of kids needing to congregate in gyms or stay home because there's not enough staff healthy enough.
So my wife is Chinese and we both use the same app (weixin) for texting. Since my account is connected to a US number, I can send and view videos of the protests going on there. If I send the to my wife, the videos just wont show up on her end. She had to screen record my phone to send them out.
and almost 10k upvotes with everyone being angry... when a quick google search shows that this is straight up a lie. And this is dangerous because it can make other real allegations about the CCP seem illegitimate.
Are they out of focus wide shots of the audience or close up shots of unmasked audience members? I'm hearing the former is allowed and the latter is not.
More anti Chinese propaganda drumming up hate against China. China really sucks but why do we have to resort to these brain washing tactics on our own people?
China is just doing what most governments wished they could do. If it wasn’t for “misinformation” creating a global pushback against covid measures we’d still be wearing masks and dealing with lockdowns.
Kind of terrifying that any broadcast could do this to us without us even knowing it. Maybe in China they are all like: Look how the West cuts to the audience to avoid showing the coach's authority over the team.
Imagine if there were only a few companies that controlled media outlets around the country and they were owned by billionaire oligarchs with more influence than the government and who were choosing to disseminate information that solely benefitted themselves. That would be insane, undemocratic and a sign of a state that had failed to protects its people.
Commercial broadcasters would probably choose video streams that contain the perimeter billboards around the stadium, so they can serve more ads leveraging virtual advertising tech. While official streams (FIFA/Qatari) might show how people are enjoying games, so people forget all the controversies.
Not the same. Here we are actually allowed to discuss it. This thread, the one we are commenting on, with people from all around the world? Not allowed there. They can’t access Reddit or Twitter. They can’t be exposed to the foreign internet.
I’m honestly curious.. what info is there available that suggests the feed is different due to Chinese censorship in relation to masks? I’m seeing non masked people on both feeds and different countries do have different directors and camera crews during international sporting events.. I really just want to know why mask /Covid censorship is the go to here?
This looks like a broadcast of field action only. They're not censoring the people on the sidelines, they're just excluding the crowd. I wish they'd do this for the NFL. Also, who cares and how did you wind yourself up into this?
It's amazing people are still so naive that they think the media can't be/isn't manipulated. Even in America the other video showing all the different news outlets reading the exact same script and and yet they (at the most) will still say it's something only china and Russia etc would do and not their beloved democracy
Nice work china, and this will definitely work too because not one single person from China owns a cell phone and knows anyone else anywhere else on earth who might take an interest in the World Cup, and can send a pic or vid.
Isn't it kinda scary? With Covid being on the cusp of becoming endemic (though some might argue it has already become endemic this summer) and the whole world being ready for that, China is probably the only country still trying to stick to a Zero Covid strategy. Most other countries had strong vaccination efforts + community transmission and that ultimately helped defeat the virus. I don't think there are many people in the West that did not have multiple contact points with the virus. You either had the jab (or multiple jabs), the virus or a combination of both. Ultimately, we are all ready to move on - apart from China where lacklustre vaccination efforts and uber strict lockdowns ensured that many, many people in their population never had any contact to the virus. China is essentially still stuck in 2020 and the question is how long they are going to stick to a failed strategy (if the goal is to enable living with the virus) and learn what the rest of the world did. Even more cautious countries like New Zealand or South Korea never went full China.
I fucking knew it!!! I was watching the France-Denmark match from here in Beijing and they just simply refused to show replays of the first goal. They just showed two straight minutes of the French manager and i thought what the fuck? Why aren't they showing a replay? Then i saw the replay on YouTube and they had all the fans cheering. I didn't put two and two together but I knew something was fishy.
Surprised they were broadcasting at all since China couldn’t even qualify. Imagine if Olympics were happening this year? Blocking and scrubbing out all the masks for an event like that would be a mindfuck.
Who else remembers that china was flexing that they were "covid less" about a year ago? Pieces of shit invited international news programs over to flex while the rest of the world was dealing with their illness.
I genuinely forgot about this. Now that you mentioned, yes, I do remember. I remember watching a load of people in China at some kind of water event and everyone was jam packed together, maskless. During that time Covid was at its peak in the West and China was trying to portray how safe it was, that they had kept the virus away, and that it’s citizens were enjoying life whist the West was having a hard time.
China bad? nah, not really. keep pissing yourselves about China, dipshits. Keep blaming all the problems of your rich countries on China and whoever else you can think of.
countries like russia and china want their citizens to basically live in VR, a world that's actually a prison but everything around them gives the faint illusion of freedom despite being totally fake.
So now Reddit suddenly turned and find China's zero-covid policy and mask mandates infuriating? You cunts were ready to crucify each other for not wearing a mask 6 months ago.
Sorry, but I'm out of the loop about this China mask thing... is this the same as anti-maskers here in the U.S., or is there really no good reason for them to continue wearing them now in China?
China is still welding apartment complex doors shut when people get COVID, and if you get COVID, you and everyone youve been around is quarantined, plus everyone they were around.
This video is dumb propaganda from the Epoch Times/Falun Gong people and misses the real issues going on in China now. Chinese lockdowns are harsh and recently caused a number of deaths by locking people in a burning building. The government just says they found a case and will lock your whole neighborhood in for a period of time. My brother-in-law (Chinese) has to travel between provinces for work and is subject to constant hotel lockdowns. He joined the protests you may have seen yesterday because many people have been jumping out windows as they face eviction due to being unable to leave home to go to work. Their problem isn’t masks.
China has maintained a zero covid policy, meaning when a case is detected entire buildings or neighbourhoods, factories etc are locked down and locked down hard. Plus the Chinese vaccine is not a good vaccine, not as good as the one we use anyway. So the people would get extremely pissed off if they see that the rest of the world is not wearing masks. Keep in mind they already are extremely pissed off because of 2 plus years of hard lockdown and are on the verge of rioting (protests are currently afoot). So the government doesn't want the people to have more ammunition to riot.
I have friends watching the world cup in China - they told me there are plenty of shots of the crowd. This is such a dumb conspiracy theory, so easily disproven.
Doesnt all network show different feed since there is many cameras so its just pick and choose what to show, China gov pays for their network so they show what the gov wants to show
Nope. There will generally be one big setup with all the cameras covering the game. Every country gets that as a feed, and will have their own cameras for presenters and so on.
downvote me all you want. all i’m seeing is people saying china sucks, yet if you were to reverse this to about half a year ago people would be praising them. shits crazy
The virus came from china, what if they know something we don't and their zero covid policy is actually a secret government agenda to prevent their people from another virus that will then cause a global genocide where only the overly protected chinese citizen survive? /aluhat

You mean after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre? Why?
"Gandhi". " Ghandi means an entirely different thing which is not nice..
For someone who hasn't seen the film, what was edited out ?
They do censor stuff, of course, but what they also (used to?) do on Chinese TV is only allow a strict 90 minute slot in the schedule for a film.
The ending to the Chinese version of fight club is that the Chinese police stormed in and arrested everyone and saved the day. This was available as a text card. No joke
except it's bullshit
Did they spell Gandhi's name correctly, or the way you and everyone else on Reddit spells it?
There used to be a bot around years ago that would correct the spelling.
wtf thats weird
They did the same irl too
In few days, china's AI will put masks on every audience's face
Thank you. I really couldn’t figure out why they were doing this.
China is going to be like peripheral make people see what they like to see
Can someone explain to me why China is still pursuing zero COVID?
My FIL (Chinese immigrant) thinks it's not about COVID anymore but about it being a loyalty test to the government. Also, apparently the Chinese government has a track record of not wanting to admit they're wrong.
There is a multitude of reasons here... Firstly, China has probably the strongest face culture in the world where an admission of fault loses face for the government which cannot happen.

Because they don't trust foreign vaccines and their vaccines apparently don't work.
Because they have set the virus up as the enemy. That means there are only two outcomes: victory, where the virus is eradicated, and defeat, where the virus is allowed to continue existing. At this point, the party believes that if they relax restrictions then they will have "lost" the fight against COVID.

What happens in a communist society. Obey or be silenced. Scary.
It actually has to do with a lot of the underdeveloped parts of the country. China is a highly paradoxical country, in that it has some of the most modern, high-tech cities in the world, and then you go to other parts of the country and they’re still stuck in the 1950’s. Most of those parts of the country are still something like over 80% unvaccinated and only until recently have some of them had their first major outbreak. The Chinese vaccines for the most part aren’t as effective as the western ones, and if there was a major COVID outbreak there, it would absolutely decimate those rural areas that don’t have a lot of medical infrastructure.
Despite all the cynical replies it could also just be cause they're legitimately worried about Covid returning.
In the beginning, I thought maybe they knew something about it that we didn’t. Maybe covid antibodies stay dormant and we all become zombies in the year 2040. My tinfoil hat is showing.
Aside from all the "it's about commies wanting control" where is one alternative take:
I think we have to admit, that so far the zero COVID strategy has worked well for China. The issue with this strategy is that you never reach flock immunity. Now they either have to start vaccinating thoroughly or keep the very strict restrictions. And since the rest of the world have started relaxing the restrictions it becomes harder to avoid contamination from outside. I guess it's not possible for the Chinese government to admit that this is indeed the situation, leaving the people very angry.
less than a year ago the discourse on reddit would have been all in favour of of zero-covid and permanent masking.
it's because lives matter. hope this helps. god i wish i lived in a country that believed that
China really sucks and makes me worried for the future of their citizens and the citizens of their enemy countries. This is scary twisted.
It's darkest before the dawn. All Xi's increased control is backfiring on him, just like the excessive control of the Iranian regime. Both of those along with Putin could crumble faster than we think. What replaces it will be interesting.
You know what sucks? How fast people believe fake info, if it's about shitty countries
Fortunately their military sucks.
You could say the same about the USA man.
Fuck china
“You have been banned from
I feel bad for the people right now in lockdowns though. It’s inhumane. Watching this feed is just manipulative as fuck too, it’s just sad.
Fuck *chinese government
Not china, china is a multicultural country with dozens of ethnicities and a beautiful heritage. Fuck the CCP and it's followers
And fuck fakes
Fuck us. We buy so much shit from China. Damn near everything in the USA is China made. China supports slave labor and tyranny? We buy all their shit so we support all that
Research has come out that confirms the chines market would rather see the reactions of coaches and players over random fans. Tbh I made that up.
This reply is sponsored by the CCP 🤣
While I think that it is bad that they do it for the wrong reason. I actually prefer see the play. Sometimes the main stream misses quickly executed free kicks or corner kicks. While showing fans.
As an F1 viewer, I would pay more money to not see shots of fans when there is action going on the track.
Fuck China, but I do kinda like their feed better because it focuses on the players and coaches as opposed to crowd.
Can't have the Chinese population learning that the rest of us have moved on while they remain under extreme lockdown.
Sigh. I find this rich. Covid is in its deadliest time yet where I live. Literally has not been worse and we have absolutely 0 precautions. We're literally having classes of kids needing to congregate in gyms or stay home because there's not enough staff healthy enough.
Some Orwellian shit right here
Literally 2022
So my wife is Chinese and we both use the same app (weixin) for texting. Since my account is connected to a US number, I can send and view videos of the protests going on there. If I send the to my wife, the videos just wont show up on her end. She had to screen record my phone to send them out.
Chinise cadres literally read that and sayed "I like where this is going, but needs more Chinese characteristics" and made it 1mil times worse
I’m pretty sure that isn’t what’s going on here (but I could be wrong)…
Socialists haven't changed. They just got better tech now.
Tbh i didnt see a mask in either video.
Yeah but athletes are without mask anyway.
https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-china-blur-out-world-cup-crowds-hide-maskless-fans-1762414
OP should’ve specified “unmasked audience”
and tbh i'm surprised why reddit changed their main opinion on masks
The goal was to prevent the Chinese people from seeing that the rest of the world is moving on from COVID.
Yes but one is quite heavily non-mask
as much as I disagree with the CCP, this is simply fake news. I’m watching a game on CCTV right now, and the massless audience is clearly shown
At this point, even anti-propaganda is still propaganda. That’s why I live in my bubble.

Terrifying is how easy people accept fake news about countries they don't like.

They are already doing this to an extent, they are avoiding displaying empty seats to us to portray a successful world cup
Imagine if there were only a few companies that controlled media outlets around the country and they were owned by billionaire oligarchs with more influence than the government and who were choosing to disseminate information that solely benefitted themselves. That would be insane, undemocratic and a sign of a state that had failed to protects its people.

are we sure it’s to not show unmasked people or is it to not show people having fun - both seem to be outlawed in china
having fun is definitely ok. lived there for five years and had the time of my life. still fuck the ccp.
China: "hey fifa, can you help us lie to our people? here is some money"
Infantino: "I feel Chinese"
Infantino: "Today, I feel Chinese"
China needs some 'tegrity
Sounds familiar 🤨
Do they have feeds to avoid showing people with civil rights and free speech too?
I’m honestly curious.. what info is there available that suggests the feed is different due to Chinese censorship in relation to masks? I’m seeing non masked people on both feeds and different countries do have different directors and camera crews during international sporting events..

Not even a year ago half of you would have been encouraging this
OOTL here, what do you mean by this?
Reddit's cognitive dissonance is astounding. I am banned from nearly every large sub for posting in
super spreader event !11 evil mass murderers!! you are why ew need another year of lockdown !!!11
Thank you! Reddit users not realizing their own hypocracy is astounding.
Well not even half a year ago Covid was killing hundreds of thousands of people. Not it’s not. What’s your point
[удалено]
Would probably still encourage it if we did it.
Encouraging censorship or encouraging masks/lockdown measures?
Straw man argument here haha you're so persecuted petal!
i visit China, China people are good. it’s the ccp government.
Love China, hate the CCP.
It's amazing people are still so naive that they think the media can't be/isn't manipulated. Even in America the other video showing all the different news outlets reading the exact same script and and yet they (at the most) will still say it's something only china and Russia etc would do and not their beloved democracy
I’m sorry but how tf is this proof of anything lmao
What you fail to consider is China bad
I didnt see a single mask in either feed though?
The thing is
I have no idea what OP's title is supposed to be telling me....
Not even surprising.
The ccp is so afraid of its own shadow lol
Nice work china, and this will definitely work too because not one single person from China owns a cell phone and knows anyone else anywhere else on earth who might take an interest in the World Cup, and can send a pic or vid.
This is a wet dream for
Lol what do they get out of doing this
The Chinese people deserve the freedom to inhale aerosolized body fluids from complete strangers
Isn't it kinda scary?

Can I have China’s feed though for sports? I typically can do without any fan shots.
I exchange postcards as a hobby with people all around the world.
I fucking knew it!!! I was watching the France-Denmark match from here in Beijing and they just simply refused to show replays of the first goal.

Is that the stated reason, or do they just think it’s silly to show fans instead of players, coaches, and officials during the game?
I know they are doing it for all the wrong reasons, but I would rather watch the China version.
Who else remembers that china was flexing that they were "covid less" about a year ago? Pieces of shit invited international news programs over to flex while the rest of the world was dealing with their illness.

I worked in the 2016 Olympics in Rio for OBS (Olympic Broadcasting Services) and I can give a little insight of this.
Fuck repressive authoritarians
Chances are you’re living in one, I know I am.
China bad? nah, not really. keep pissing yourselves about China, dipshits. Keep blaming all the problems of your rich countries on China and whoever else you can think of.
fuck all you anti China morons who will eat up any small/stupid lie just to hate China more. You fucking losers.
I'm confused. Wasn't Reddit's stance to be absolutely pro-mask?
They are more anti China than they are pro mask
it wasn't but even if it was your argument would make absolutely no sense
It's like 9/11 where we were all patriotic until we got the bill for a $2 trillion war and saw our freedoms were taken away.
Lmaooo they are honestly fucking lost out there, absolute nutters
countries like russia and china want their citizens to basically live in VR, a world that's actually a prison but everything around them gives the faint illusion of freedom despite being totally fake.
All states are guilty of this. The Chinese State just dials it up to eleven to both censor and show ots.mighty authority.
Should check out the fantasy land presented by US media conglomerates especially the 24hr news channels.
So now Reddit suddenly turned and find China's zero-covid policy and mask mandates infuriating? You cunts were ready to crucify each other for not wearing a mask 6 months ago.
They really believe their citizens are dumbs
Must be exhausting continuously lying to your people about every aspect of life.
Fuck China and poobear
No one can convince me China is a democratic nation.
Not even the ccp claims to be democratic
Whoever said China was democratic? Whoever said democracy was automatically good?
And you think that even in democracy people have power?
Democracy is a myth these days. It doesn't exist anymore
Lol but we live in a autocracy in the us and most of Europe
True. But to be fair US channels superimposed masks on the crowd in sporting events over the past two years. Did you guys memoryhole that already?
Coming to a State near you if you keep voting Democrat!
China is asshole
🧂
Just wait till they try make the rest of the world like china its coming folks
But still shows unmasked people
Diabolical
China is a kunthole of a country.
Forever super fuck China. Not regular fuck, super fuck you China. Fuck you.
So much effort is required to try to keep people oppressed, it's insane. Even something small like this.
Masks aside, I’d rather see more shots of the coaches and players anyways. Don’t care what the fans are doing
Not gonna lie, I'd rather watch the Chinese feed. I don't care to watch the fans.
Sorry, but I'm out of the loop about this China mask thing... is this the same as anti-maskers here in the U.S., or is there really no good reason for them to continue wearing them now in China?

China is a third world country now and forever
This post is misinformation. It's not like that in china.
I have friends watching the world cup in China - they told me there are plenty of shots of the crowd. This is such a dumb conspiracy theory, so easily disproven.
The last thing I want to see on any live event feed is the audience.
Same. I'd rather see the coaches & field, but they weren't showing it for content, they were showing it for censorship.
Literally 1984
Commie assholes
China is a massive fucking problem
The US wasn't too different a couple of years ago...
Doesnt all network show different feed since there is many cameras so its just pick and choose what to show, China gov pays for their network so they show what the gov wants to show
Nope. There will generally be one big setup with all the cameras covering the game. Every country gets that as a feed, and will have their own cameras for presenters and so on.
Tell me again that COVID wasn’t designed and used to control the population.
COVID wasn’t designed and used to control the population.
Anonther great so called non interference policy by FIFA...
unmasked peasants*
Fuck those communist shitheads! I really feel sorry for the civilians
Man china is a joke
i hope china will get rid of damn communism someday
Do you have a source? How do you know that it’s because of the masks? Could be anything..
Google World Cup China masks or similar, there’s a lot of articles comparing the different feeds.
All government lie and brainwash their citizens
I too like to complain about China and then go buy stuff at Wal-Mart like a true Hypocrite.
lol everyone acting like this level of propaganda wasn’t commonplace in the US for 2.5 years…
downvote me all you want. all i’m seeing is people saying china sucks, yet if you were to reverse this to about half a year ago people would be praising them. shits crazy
Everyone is unmasked in both videos
