‘China must crush the US’: Global TimesChinese publication the Global Times has provocatively claimed China must 'crush the US' by gaining an economic advantage and predicted relations between the two nations are likely to fail. Thats JOES job isn't it. They STOLE it, and everyone knows it. Global Times is just a nationalist tabloid with deliberate provocations. It’s selling better this way (as any western tabloid journalism) and is the most cited among the foreign media, another source of fame ($$$). GT does not represent the official government position.

I'm surprised they have not faced legal action over the rubbish they spread regarding the AZ vaccine I have yet to see any result that proves this to be so. So the censorship is going to be even more extreme, even more widespread. Alas, freedom of ideas and opinions and judgment…you were lovely but people didn’t care about you anymore and you’re gone.
