How 'Election' is Held in China with Communist Chinese Characteristics

It is understood that the National People ’s Congress voted for the election of the President of the State, the Chairman of the Military Commission, and the Chairman of the National People ’s Congress.

Those who voted in favor did not need to write anything on the ballot paper and only had to directly put the ballot into the ballot box. Those against it however, had to walk over to the "secret ballot area", fill the box with a special pen after the candidate's name.

Therefore, it is obvious that the representative who went to the writing area of ​​the voting area is casting a negative vote.

Digital fraud in the South Korean general election? Possibility of Chinese manipulation in the vote-counting machines
 
(1 Jun) South Korea's general election in April was a landslide victory for President Moon Jae-in's ruling Democratic Party. But since then, there have been allegations of election fraud.
 
According to East Asia Research, the election fraud is related to digital fraud. It is suspected that the vote-counting machines, computer hardware and software, as well as information network telecom equipment manufactured by China's Huawei Technologies, had been tampered with. There are also suspicions on the QR codes used for mail-in votes and early ballots.
 
East Asia Research said that the instructions needed to operate the vote-counting machines “can come from the QR codes on the early-vote ballots as they are counted, or it can also be sent from an external source to the vote-counting server via the Internet”.
 
The National Election Commission chose LG U+ 5G, which uses Huawei equipment, as the wireless network for pre-vote ballots. East Asia Research said that “servers used at the election sites could be connected to servers in China, and the user on the Chinese end could access the vote-counting machines”.

Twitter and TikTok in fake news firing line

//China’s political manipulation of social media sites has prompted a swift response from the Morrison government.

//In early 2019, a delegation of senior Australian government officials travelled to Shenzhen, China, where they were permitted into a gleaming, two-towered building in the city’s far west.

//The AEC’s idea was to open the lines of communication with the social media player, recognising the platform as a potential conduit for disinformation ahead of the May 18, 2019 federal election.

//Similar meetings took place in Silicon Valley with Twitter, Facebook and Google. But recognising #WeChat’s two million-plus user base in #Australia

//#Tencent was “receptive”, Rogers says, opening the way for a “collaborative relationship” during the 2019 campaign.

//However, just over 12 months later, an explosion of fake news around the world and the rise of misinformation and foreign government interference across almost all the biggest social media platforms has infuriated the Morrison government

//Twitter released an archive of 23,750 suspended accounts connected to Chinese state-backed ­information operations... These accounts aimed to sow discord across several fronts — including propaganda against Hong Kong protesters who are portrayed repeatedly as violent and referred to as “cockroaches”, and in linking the COVID-19 outbreak to Hong Kong or the US.

//Twitter is banned in China, but most of the misinformation is aimed at the Chinese-speaking ­diaspora, including in Australia.

//WeChat has an estimated 2.9 million Australian users. Australian political parties believe the platform has the potential to affect election results in up to six federal seats, which have high numbers of Chinese-Australian voters.

//Its aim is to use Australian ­diplomacy... to call out disinformation and shame the state actors behind fake news.

//the use of social media platforms in Australia “that are extensions of social platforms in authoritarian states” pose a particular problem.

//foreign state-sponsored social media campaigns can be conducted at any time in response to geopolitical developments, not just during elections.

//Australia needs to spend less on submarines and more on bolstering cyber defences and weeding out disinformation from strategic rivals, including China.

//“China is also being blamed for COVID-19, so they are reaching out around the globe to try and control these narratives,”

//The government has also tasked communications watchdog ACMA with developing a new #misinformation and news quality code of practice, in a bid to reduce the impact of fake news.

In Cantonese we say "面係人地俾,架係自己丟" (roughly translated as: people give you face but we can't help you if you decide to throw it away", my translation is bit crappy - if you have better suggestions you can comment!)

Anyways, #ErickTsang is the worst type of a**-kisser 🙄🙄 Apparently, similar threatening letters have been issued to papers like #FinancialTimes, #Economist and #NewYorkTimes too.

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen urges Beijing not to misjudge the situation in New Year speech

In Taipei, President Tsai Ing-wen delivered a New Year's speech in which she reiterated her concern about the situation in Hong Kong and stressed that the military was not an option for resolving cross-strait differences, urging Beijing not to misjudge the situation.

In her 2022 New Year's speech at the presidential palace, Tsai Ing-wen set out the four main plans for her administration this year, including continuation on global engagement, maintaining the economic momentum, strengthening the social security network, and safeguarding Taiwan's sovereignty.

She said that the interference in the election of the Hong Kong Legislative Council and the arrest of media personnel had raised concerns about human rights and freedom of speech in Hong Kong.

"The pursuit of democracy and freedom is not a crime, and Taiwan's position in support of Hong Kong will not change. Aside from showing our concern, we will cherish our own hard-earned freedom and democracy even more deeply", Tsai said.
