Week 7

Dear readers,

This week, it’s been more of the same: more research, more reading, and more discovery. I’ve finished my research on China’s past and started work on research on China’s present state and the US’s current state of media censorship. It’s pretty depressing, to be honest, but I think it’s important to learn about it regardless.

Here are the most interesting things I’ve learned this week:

• Popular social media companies like Facebook and Google ACTIVELY censor the conflict Xinjiang and HongKong and basically anything CCP, by taking money from the CCP as bribes.
• Companies based here in the US, such as Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Intel, and others, sell surveillance technology to China to help with their suppression of the Uyghur minority.

Stay aware, readers. Like I said, it’s depressing at times, but of the utmost importance regardless.
