National weather service???
Uh … why SCMP? Isn’t that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?
SCMP is critical of China, but they do soften the blow
The list is not entirely correct.
From china
Change it on wikipedia!
Ironically…
We should have done the same
Hard disagree, censorship is not welcome in a free society. I dislike a number of those sites and haven’t heard of most of the rest, but I wouldn’t ban a single one.
Yeah let’s follow China’s lead and become just like them! I support restricting political freedoms and a giant firewall and a social credit system too.
They are obviously the superior system and therefore we need to emulate them.
Fair point, but that means the ban should be coming from Department of Commerce, not the DoD.
Don’t try to come up with bullshit excuses about espionage.
“We’re banning these private-business Chinese websites because China bans our private-business websites and that’s anti-competitive”.
Of course it’s not a military company, it’s an espionage company.
See?? Totally different!
Normally, espionage can collaborate with other branches of government, apart from the military.

You know, you can be critical of a government without using racist slurs against the people from that country. Not everyone from China is part of the CCP.
giving you the benefit of the doubt like maybe english isn’t your first language, that word is considered a pejorative/slur in all modern usage
It’s never been anything but.
the wikipedia article on it cites two instances where it didn’t seem to be wayy back at the word’s inception. but yeah hardly matters in the grand scheme
Naw, it was most commonly used as a term similar to “that chinese guy” which is easy to confuse with racism at a time period where people were generally racist towards the chinese, but the term itself is not racist. There were actual slurs back then they could use if they were about that.
My Grandmother said they always bought they’re vegetables growing up from the chinaman who rolled his cart through the alleyway behind their homes. It’s not a term of hate, but it’s easy to say hateful things alongside it.
How are you this dense?

Throughout its existence the prevalent use has been as a racial slur.
Dude, the people in the past admitted to being racist, and when a racist term gets used it shouldn’t be excused.
Again with the dense skull.
Your submission in “Tencent says it’s not a Chinese military company and is willing to sue the US Department of Defense if it isn’t removed from a blacklist” was removed for Rule 3.

Yeah, okay.
Derogatory terms towards anyone will always get removed, have a good day.

Lmao, poor little babies
Keep it a note that having them listed as a Chinese military company could let US put pressure against open source groups to not collaborate with them; very similar to how US forced Linux Foundation to kick off decade old russian collaborators.
That’s a bad mischaracterization. You cannot force someone to do something voluntarily . Torvald spoke in support of it. I’m sure many governments and groups using the Linux kernel and open source want Developers that are vetted. Or can be reasonably sure won’t be forced to act maliciously under duress.
