dead [he/him]@hexbear.netto news@hexbear.net•2 Chinese researchers charged with smuggling biological pathogen to study at University of Michigan labEnglish10·16 days agoThe Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked about it, this morning.
AFP: The United States Justice Department said Tuesday that two Chinese students have been charged with smuggling a toxic fungus into the United States that they plan to research at an American university. Does the Foreign Ministry have any comments on the case?
Lin Jian: I am not familiar with that. The Chinese government always asks Chinese nationals overseas to strictly observe local laws and regulations, and protects their legitimate and lawful rights and interests in accordance with the law.

dead [he/him]@hexbear.netto History@hexbear.net•Debunking the ‘Tiananmen Square Massacre’English4·16 days agoI watched the China Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference this morning. Two news agencies (Japanese NHK and French AFP) asked questions related to “Tienanmen Square Incident”. I thought the response from the FM on the questions was pretty good. Then I looked at the MFA website, and the questions had been omitted from the press conference transcript. I’m honestly kind of confused why China omitted the questions from the record. I’ve never noticed them do this before.

English audio comes out of the right speaker. Chinese audio comes out of the left speaker.
At 21m10s, NHK asks China why they have not compensated families of the victims of “Tienanmen Square Incident”. The FM responds by saying that the people of China have chosen the path of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
At 23m40s, AFP asks China to respond to Marco Rubio’s recent social media posts about “Tienanmen Square Incident”. The FM says that Marco Rubio is distorting facts for a political attack against China.
In the transcript below, these parts of the conference have been omitted. I’m not sure why.

dead [he/him]@hexbear.netOPto news@hexbear.net•US-Ambassador-to-Israel Mike Huckabee issues statement, blames US media reporting on Israel doing genocide in Gaza for causing attacks on American ZionistsEnglish21·16 days agoYou’re posting in a thread about a US politician blaming US media for attacks on US supporters of Israel, for US media correctly reporting that Israel is doing a genocide in Gaza. How does your comment relate to pro-Israel protests in the US? The “bring home the hostages” statements within the US are not anti-war; people who say “bring home the hostages” want Israel to annex Gaza.
Secondly, I have been following news about protests happening in Israel. Anarchism in Israel is a small fringe movement, which does not make up “most of these protests”. The only protest that I have slight sympathy for in Israel is Mesarvot, because it’s teenagers who are being jailed for refusing to serve in the IOF and even then it’s like maybe a dozen members.
The “bring home the hostages” protests in Israel are not anti-Zionist. Some of them have been described as “anti-war” or “anti-Netanyahu”, but never “anti-Zionist”. Anti-Netanyahu is a crafted designation which seeks to place all blame on Netanyahu to wash Zionism of its crimes against Palestinians. Anti-Netanyahu protests in Israel are not anti-Zionism. It’s exactly like when a corporation does a bunch of bad stuff and then they just replace the CEO to take all of the blame.
There’s maybe like a total of 50 Israelis in all of Israel Occupied Territory who would describe themselves as “anti-Zionist”. Anti-Zionism is not a movement that exists within Israel.
dead [he/him]@hexbear.netOPto news@hexbear.net•US-Ambassador-to-Israel Mike Huckabee issues statement, blames US media reporting on Israel doing genocide in Gaza for causing attacks on American ZionistsEnglish6·17 days agoThat is definitely not true. Why would someone who believes that Israel should not exist do a protest in support of the war interests of Israel? That makes no sense. Anyone who is anti-Zionist recognizes that the hostages will be released when Israel agrees to a permanent ceasefire. All of the “remember the hostages” ““protests”” are demanding that the Israeli hostages are released without a ceasefire in Gaza.
You can visibly see the Israel flags in the video footage of the Boulder Mall Attack. If those people are anti-Zionist then why are they carrying Zionist flags? The Mike Huckabee press statement even says “group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado”.

dead [he/him]@hexbear.netOPto news@hexbear.net•Israeli Forces open fire at US-backed aid site again, killing at least 27 Palestinians today; UN calls for investigationEnglish22·17 days agoStatement From Senior Hamas Official Dr. Bassem Naim:
Engineering Extermination through “Humanitarian” Death Traps
In the context of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, the new Israeli mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid serves to intensify policies of starvation and societal targeting, transforming aid into death traps.
Reports indicate that this mechanism—administered through the U.S.-backed “Gaza Relief Organization”—forces civilians to move toward dangerous military zones in order to access aid, thereby placing their lives at grave risk.
This policy has led to the martyrdom of no fewer than 75 Palestinian civilians over the past week while attempting to reach aid distribution points, including 27 martyrs in Rafah on June 3 and 31 martyrs in a similar incident on June 1, in addition to dozens of injuries. (Different investigation and eye witnesses have proven that the shooting against the innocent civilians is without any doubt from the Israeli side)
This mechanism is deemed an instrument of “genocide engineering” and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, whereby aid is being used as a means to facilitate ethnic cleansing. It also grants Israel a role in the distribution process, thereby undermining the neutrality of humanitarian operations. The United Nations has rejected this plan, affirming that it contravenes fundamental humanitarian principles and endangers the lives of civilians and humanitarian workers.
We hold the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and for the lives of all Palestinians killed at distribution centers. We call upon the international community to act immediately to halt these criminal policies and to ensure the safe and impartial delivery of humanitarian aid under United Nations supervision, free from any military or political interference.

dead [he/him]@hexbear.netto History@hexbear.net•what is the communist response to Kennedy's famous Berlin Wall quote: "...democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in..."English171·18 days agoThe US charges income tax on US citizens who live and work outside of the United States, resulting in “double tax”, you pay taxes to the US and the country you reside in. In 1966, 3 years after JFK’s assassination, the US passed an “expatriation tax” law which allows the IRS to charge taxes on former US citizens for up to 10 years after they renounce citizenship.
You get charged extra income taxes for living outside of the US and you might be charged extra taxes for renouncing your citizenship. This may not be a literal wall, but it is a metaphoric wall which prevents people from leaving.
dead [he/him]@hexbear.netOPto news@hexbear.net•Suspect arrested for setting people on fire at pro-Israel event in Boulder, ColoradoEnglish44·19 days agoI think it’s revealing when the organizers said their event is not a protest. A protest is a political demonstration where the attendees shows disapproval of an entity which has power. Zionists have the full backing of the US government. Zionists are happy about the actions of the US government. Zionists are happy about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Protests demonstrate for oppressed people, a demonstration for the oppressor is not a protest at all.
By admitting that their political action is not a protest, the participants admit that they support the genocide in Gaza and they admit that they are not being oppressed. They’re not protesting, they’re gloating.
dead [he/him]@hexbear.netto news@hexbear.net•Inside a phone smuggled out of North KoreaEnglish32·19 days agoThe woman in the video published an article alongside the video. In the article, it says she obtained from Daily NK. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98pnx35xj2o
DailyNK is a anti-DPRK and anti-communism news website. DailyNK has received funding from National Endowment for Democracy (NED) ie US government funding.
DailyNK published a technical specification breakdown of the phone in the video in February 2025. The article says that they recently obtained the phone. They say this phone is called “Samtaesung 8”. You will notice in the BBC video that there is also an 8 on the phone wallpaper. The article doesn’t mention the autocorrect feature or the screenshot surveillance.
https://www.dailynk.com/english/north-korea-smartphone-samtaesung-8-revealed/
DailyNK published an article about the screenshot functionality of the Samtaesung 8 phone in April 2025. This article contradicts the BBC video. This article says that DPRK cellphones only recently gained screenshot functionality and the phone blocks screenshotting when the News app is open (maybe copyright protection?). The BBC video said that the phones had no access to internet but if it has a News app, then it has some form of internet. The screenshot list on the BBC video also doesn’t make sense, the timestamps are inconsistent and the file names are illogical.
The BBC video seems to be just straight up lying. I have skepticism for the information provided by DailyNK, but they at least show screenshots of the technical information about the phone.
Edit /// The Korean name for the phone is 삼태성8 . You get a lot more search results when searching for the Korean name. There is also a newer model Samtaesung 9 or 삼태성9 . There are some videos on youtube in Korean.
Absurd question. Do you think that the purpose of a socialist party is to form after a “global socialist takeover”?
The post said “sign me up for the party trying to solve these issues”. PSL is trying to solve these issues. PSL is trying to make more people into socialists.
The world around you is not limited by your ability to understand it. I don’t understand surgery. From my perspective, cutting someone open and moving stuff around “doesn’t look realistic”. Yet surgeries happen. I’m not a surgeon, so I don’t go around telling surgeons what is possible.

Can’t see this user’s post history on hexbear but they have a bunch of posts defending Kamala and Biden and NATO. “If I can’t have no genocide, I’d rather some genocide than more genocide. Is this really that controversial?” They seem to think that Gaza is the trolley problem. I’m not sure how someone types “I’d rather some genocide” without feeling shame.
