Literally 0 sources anywhere and literally invokes 1984
Liberal propaganda is so fucking lazy. Y'all realize this is way closer to what 1984 was actually about right?
It's a proposal by the literal government of China: http://www.cac.gov.cn/2023-06/06/c_1687698272954687.htm
Where in the article did you find that link?
@Venus The sources are clearly defined in the text, you can see that and find the link yourself if you are interested.
That's just not how citing sources works lol
Oh, we have a genius here. The source, which is the Chinese government, and the way it is cited are both fine.
The way that it isn't cited*
It actually is cited, just read it.
@Venus You may have missed some points when reading, so here are a few quotes.
(Emphasis mine.)
I agree with you in that it paves the way further to George Orwell's 1984.
Just saying that someone said something is not citing a source. They taught us this in elementary school.
Why, you’re right! We should go back to the original source, just like we were taught in elementary school, to see what the source says.
Will you look at that! The primary source has a handy article that’s already been linked to you! Here it is again, in case you missed it :)

The source is the Chinese government, @kleinheld provided the link, everyone can easily verify that.
That's really not relevant unless the user mentioned wrote the article. I'm criticizing the article for not citing sources.
It's crazy how just reporting on things factually said and done by the CCP will get you called a liberal and a US propagandist. You've truly lost the plot.
