Not that it’s so unbelievable a single person would spout libtakes, but this entire article is super sus. Why can’t anyone produce a single image? Radio Free Asia is used as a source in the wikipedia article twice, which surely doesn’t happen if something actually happened. Every other source used is a propaganda outlet and unreliable as well.
They explain why there aren’t any images by saying that China censored it, and in so doing banned using the word “Beijing” on Weibo. Which is obviously fucking ridiculous. Not to mention that that wouldn’t even affect information leaving the country.
I saw the video. I checked all the sources and even Twitter. I know someone set fire to some cardboard and draped a sign over a railing, but is “bridge man” a person? Did they protest for any length of time, y’know, actually try to be heard and seen?
Or did some white guy at the CIA just stage something and drive past real quick to generate content for Radio Free Asia?
I thought it was some guy in LA they were passing off as a “heroic” Chinese protestor. Or is that a different propaganda article?
