I wonder how it stacks up to the fake network pushing anti-China propaganda.

Funny if you think about how Chinese government crackdown anti-China content in China's intranet. They used similar technics and analysis, plus raiding people's home to in order to take them down.

How The Epoch Times Created a Giant Influence Machine

"Since 2016, the Falun Gong-backed newspaper has used aggressive Facebook tactics and right-wing misinformation to create an anti-China, pro-Trump media empire."

I've been having trouble passing those Google captcha tests lately. I conclude that I too must be a pro-China robot

Are they passable on certain networks? I can't pass them when using Tor.

I haven't used the Tor browser lately, but doesn't it automatically block some amount of JavaScript? Though it also wouldn't surprise me if the Tor associated IP addresses were so abused google did block them.

The captcha loads. You just can't seem to get a sufficient score to prove that you are human.

Yes, I think that the associated IP addresses are banned for abuse.

FYI for those skeptical about pro-China propaganda online:

Chinese channel with fake videos about how there is not really a genocide going on in Xinjiang: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5hykSm2o7oRpOyFrMYjeBg

This girl is actually responding to a video exposing these ridiculous videos, trying to make the argument that the criticism is actually anti-China propaganda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYUmBDJPX6k

Random white monkey guy trying to make the same argument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvEdUm4yIzw

Keep in mind that in mainland China and especially Xinjiang, YouTube is inaccessible.
