Nah, they want China to be “reunited” with Taiwan, and also doesn’t like Democrats because of the “migrant crisis”.
Only reason why my US Citizen mom didn’t vote trump is because I told my mom to vote Harris because I invoked their fear of deportation by citing the Chinese Exclusion act 100 years ago, and said it could happen again. (I watched my mom filled the mail-in ballot)
(Basically their mindset is: “Immigrant bad, unless its us” 🤦♂️)
Btw, they still say that the 2nd trump term is gonna be “fine” and “its just like the first term, nothing bad will happen”
The first term wasn’t fine. Some of Trump’s “accomplishments” include raising the national debt significantly despite being part of a party that constantly claims they will deal with it, and poor actions which results in many deaths in the US during the pandemic. He also had secret conversations with Putin and may have transferred our secrets to Russia. Also he told the big lie and supported storming the capitol during J6.
The only reason his first term wasn’t even worse was because people stopped him. Now there are going to be less people to stop him. That’s why we must stay strong and vigilant and work towards getting as many Democrats elected locally in 2025 and nationally in 2026.
I mean, they see it as mostly the virus’s fault, not really the government’s fault.
Just like with the famine during the Great Leap Forward, not Mao’s fault, its just natural disaster.
Also, my mom suggested that the virus could’ve possibly originated from the US as an engineered bioweapon against China…
(the same virus somehow got into the US? 🤦♂️ Idk anymore, this world is so absurd with the assasination attempts, a convicted felon being elected president, and CEO getting shot, coup attempt in South Korea out of nowhere… I’m wondering if I’m in a dream/nightmare, its just bizzare…)
This is fascinating to me because it might be evidence that China is promoting right wing content to undermine America. I’ve never used WeChat before but I know the app has a “news” feature. Is WeChat linking to external domains/IP addresses? I’m curious what kind of right wing propaganda are they seeing? Who is making it? Is it in English or Chinese or a combination?
Also I will mention with other social media websites I’ve read about people using the not interested in this content (or similar wording) button and unfollowing right wing news sources and then following people who make positive content.
This answer is completely untested and something I came up with while poking through my phone’s options. But it should work as long as the app in question uses your phone’s DNS settings.
My Samsung phone has a private DNS setting. Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Private DNS. This doesn’t seem to be bound to a specific connection on my device so I assume this value is used for any. I don’t know if this is available on all modernish android devices or iOS.
One can set up a dns-over-https server such as https://github.com/m13253/dns-over-https/ and configure it to use a DNS server which is sinkholing those domains. Which it sounds like you already have setup.
You’d have to have that public facing with a reverse proxy and a valid cert so they could reach it while on mobile data, so I don’t know that the juice is worth the squeeze.
Pihole plus Pi VPN. Best thing I’ve ever done for my sanity. At least until google domains sold to squarespace, which suspiciously doesn’t support dynamic DNS.
How do I block CCP + American right wing propaganda that wechat have been promoting on my parent’s phones?
If I block the domain, they just complain the “internet is broken” and then use data (their plan has unlimited high speed data).
(Kinda funny how they are consuming two contradictory propaganda)
The CCP is right wing, so they’re getting a double-scoop of red-hued authoritarian desert. Nothing contradictory there.
Does the propaganda cancel out or not

Here’s a non inclusive list of some the scandals during Trump’s first term: https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/antisemitism-alphabetical-guide-trump-s-worst-moments-n1245795

Under the KMT, not the CCP, right?
When people say nothing bad happened I’m like “did everyone forget the huge amount of people who died needless deaths?”
I swear we live in different worlds

No, it just makes even weirder propaganda.

If you cannot deal with the problem by network filtering and blocking these strategies might be helpful: https://old.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/wiki/index/good_posts

Setup an always on VPN that connects them to their home network where those sites are blocked.
Now it doesn’t work on cellular anymore either.
Shout out to the PiHole software that makes DNS black listing much easier for ad blocking .
