Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Beijing’s move to influence the affairs of CK Hutchison reinforced concerns among global observers about China’s diminishing distinction between private and public sectors

almost like China is communist

as well as its aggressive encroachment into Hong Kong’s affairs.

almost like Hong Kong is in China

So concerning that another country would disagree to a vital shipping lane being sold off to the modern analog to the Dutch India Company.

Fuck Blackrock.

They didn't even block the sale though, they just halted it pending investigation for breaking anti monopoly laws

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago

That's US reporting for you. Halting might as well be a block in their eyes.

Can't wait to hear CHUDs froth at this for the next couple years.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

Chuds normally: "BLACKROCK IS A SOROS BACKED COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION frothingfash "

Chuds when Trump tries to use BlackRock to force Panama to sell ports to Blackrock: "I LOVE THIS ACTUALLY i-love-not-thinking "

Yeah it's crazy, I would have thought a good 60-70?

Edit: I googled him and he does look older in some photos, but whenever he is showing emotion (excited, happy etc) he knocks decades off his appearance

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago

Beautiful. And now we'll hear racists complaining how the US can't use every damn part of the global South as its personal playground.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

lol i thought it was a done deal, that's how it was all reported in the media. Which I thought was strange but it was like okay whatever.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)
