"Chinese capital participates in the imperialist division of the world—sometimes in tension with the US, and at other times, in collusion with it. Its economic rise is fueled by its support and investment in exploitative and repressive regimes around the world, including but not limited to Myanmar, Israel, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kenya.
To genuinely build an effective democratic opposition against the authoritarian Chinese state requires us to strengthen our ties with movements from below worldwide fighting these interconnected enemies, not taking sides in an inter-imperialist conflict."

So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives? Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can." "We're seeing really dramatic moves, and it's all really tied to Ukraine right now, and in a secondary way, in terms of interest rates," Octavio Marenzi, CEO of Opimas, told Yahoo Finance Live on Thursday. "This war in Ukraine is going to give the Fed the ammunition, the cover that it needs, to not raise interest rates too quickly. And I think Jay Powell is a very tepid sort of inflation fighter and he's not going to do as much as he needs to do to get that under control. And this seems like an excuse to kick the can further down the road still and not do too much too soon." For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content. Telegram boasts 500 million users, who share information individually and in groups in relative security. But Telegram's use as a one-way broadcast channel — which followers can join but not reply to — means content from inauthentic accounts can easily reach large, captive and eager audiences.
