Same point. Framing = “think about things this way” instead of just pointing out facts and letting people decide what they will. Why do you think the president-elect is who they are? People don’t like whatever “framing” is supposed to be.

> Why do you think the president-elect is who they are? People don’t like whatever “framing” is supposed to be. Isn't it the opposite? People see the same facts but framed in different ways, and so take away very different interpretations.

People see “framed” facts hammed down their gullet for so long, accept this, be ok with that, this is the new normal even if it’s only “because we say so”, that when an other option is presented, and one isn’t ordered to “accept this because…” it resonates.

Surely you realize this.

China doesn't want to be an opium den for western powers and have their economy underdeveloped by their firms. I think that's okay and it has been paying off. That's why China is able to develop its economy to superpower status while so much of the rest of the world is locked in dependency on the whims of G7.

That’s really interesting considering China is exporting fentanyl to the USA and much of the western world today.

are they exporting fentanyl to the us? do you have a source?

That's a pretty one-way relationship though. Australia and China are literally thousands of miles away from each other, but China is still important to Australia because all the continental landmasses are far from Australia.

Well unlike most countries Australia and China have a lot of two-way trade (though imports to China are double exports) because China imports lots of raw minerals (as well as food) from them, and noone buys as many raw materials as China does. And thousands of km is still much less than twenty thousand to Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_trading_pa...

Or a simpler explanation, China owns most / lots of Aus companies, from raw material to farm lands.

I hope you appreciate the irony of your white-hot rage against framing, and the contrast of you saying:

Why aren't you just stating the facts and letting parent decide? I don't think you are against providing relevant context (i.e. "framing"), you just have a bee in a bonnet about ... something - journalism as practiced today perhaps, but that has very little to to with the topic at thr root if the thread - until you reframed the discussion to be about journalism.

Naw, I’m not mad at all. Sorry I came off that way.

I must have made my point poorly, sorry I wasted your time.

A friend mentioned this a few weeks ago during a conversation with someone in the industry. Apparently, it’s because the China government directly mandated it, so Akamai had no choice but to transfer their business to domestic China providers. For example, PSN is now being handled by Tencent.
