"Chiang's Christian messages continued to emphasize the suffering Christ... evident in his Christmas message to wounded soldiers in China in 1943. Chiang was more evangelistic than ever, inviting Christian pastors openly to visit the sick and wounded and tell them about the "true way of life." He compared his soldiers to Christ when he talked about their sacrifice, explaining why Christ had poured out his blood to save all mankind. Through his bitter experience during the war, Chiang came to be more appreciative of the eternal truth he understood Christianity to contain. Using Christ as an example of self sacrifice, Chiang urged the wounded soldiers to take comfort in Christ, just as Christ had taken comfort in his Father in heaven. It is significant that this address was presented to a non-Christian audience."

On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. He adds: "Telegram has become my primary news source." WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. To that end, when files are actively downloading, a new icon now appears in the Search bar that users can tap to view and manage downloads, pause and resume all downloads or just individual items, and select one to increase its priority or view it in a chat. These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise.
