CCP Propaganda in Overdrive on COVID-19, South China Sea, Foreign Investment
For every new lie, China should get a new economic sanction

China’s propaganda machine is in overdrive against America on issues like the South China Sea, U.S. investment in China, and the threat of forced child separation from parents as a method of COVID-19 lockdowns.
Beijing is trying to separate off our allies, our money, and our simple observations of the truth through lies meant to lull us into a sleep from which we will never wake up.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping recently met Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to publicly declare an intention to decrease tensions in the South China Sea. The Philippines used to be a solid American ally. No more. Its islands are being eaten one by one by China’s navy and air force, but one wouldn’t know it from what Xi says publicly.
China’s top securities regulator claimed to an industry group in Beijing that he is working hard to widen market access. He’s actually negotiating with the Biden administration for a continuation of securities regulation loopholes that bilk American and other investors of billions of dollars.
And China’s foreign ministry has struck back at the United States, labeling as “groundless accusations” American claims that China’s authorities are separating children from parents as a lockdown measure. As with most of Beijing’s propaganda, it is all full of lies and half-truths meant to advance and protect the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
South China Sea Propaganda
At Xi’s virtual meeting with Duterte on April 8, the two supposedly spoke about Ukraine. Duterte must have gotten in trouble for the Philippine vote to remove Russia from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The two “leaders” also spoke about COVID and “stressed the need to exert all efforts to maintain peace, security and stability in the South China Sea by exercising restraint, dissipating tensions and working on a mutually agreeable framework for functional cooperation,” according to a presidential office statement.
This “framework” discussion is more of the CCP’s take-and-talk strategy, which is apparently unending on the South China Sea as claimants have been unable to convert a 2012 declaration into a binding agreement on all members, including China.
As recently as March, the Chinese Coast Guard engaged in dangerous maneuvers close to Philippine ships at Scarborough Shoal, which is a traditional fishing spot within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
Activists hold up signs against a recently passed Chinese Coast Guard law during a rally in Manila, Philippines, on Feb. 24, 2021. The Philippine government summoned the Chinese ambassador on March 14, 2022, to protest what it said was the “illegal incursion” of a Chinese navy ship into the country’s waters for three days and demanded China to order its ships to respect the country’s territory and follow international law, officials said.

According to my sources, Duterte’s network of friends and family has gotten millions of dollars for looking the other way as Beijing expands its influence and territory at the expense of Manila. Most of the billions of dollars worth of promised Chinese aid, loans, and investment to the Philippines never materialized.
