I don't think people can really appreciate the impact this site will have for people stuck behind information firewalls like Communist China. Beijing is having a meltdown over this - especially on the heels of 4 CIA recruitment videos released in about a year that targeted CCP officials and the military which received millions of views. Information restriction is the main weapon repressive governments use to control the minds of their populations. Even though the main target audience at the moment I believe is China, this site could expand to also dampen the efforts of Europe and Canada that are tightening the censorship noose on what information their citizens can access. I believe that Marco Rubio had a lot to do with this project.
Just be aware that China is not going to allow this to go unanswered. Besides trying to fight it through technological countermeasures, the CCP seems to have also changed part of their strategy of Western influence by toning down the more aggressive wolf warrior confrontation to a softer approach. They are using English speaking or other Western influencers that feed into certain narrative biases already at work in the populations living in Western countries.
Jiang Xueqin is one of these influencers and has been making the media rounds in the US. Tucker recently interviewed him. This guy, either knowingly or unknowingly, is being used by the CCP as part of their United Work Front propaganda operations in the West. The fact that he is allowed to have a YouTube channel with millions of followers while in China speaks volumes. Normally in China, people can go to jail for even accessing YouTube much less having a channel. YouTube is not available in China and would require a VPN, which is also illegal. This channel's target is Western audiences, primarily the US. That means he has the approval and backing of the CCP.
Any discussion that promotes the CCP talking point of the West is declining while the East is rising should be approached with a degree of skepticism. Our social media is a hotbed of CCP propaganda for all persuasions on the political spectrum.
