This takedown of a Chines government hack on twitter by an FCC commissioner is absolutely glorious. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying tried to push some inane anti-U.S. propaganda and Brendan Carr stomped him down mercilessly.
Welcome to China anytime and talk to anyone in the streets to enjoy the freedom. BTW Where is freedom & transparency when Captain Crozier was dismissed for a letter to save thousands of lives and medical workers fired for talking about working conditions? pic.twitter.com/l95kYPzTO3

You’d have to be completely ignorant of the crap China has been committing to believe that they are more open than the U.S., but he actually tried it.
Then Brendan Carr swooped in and cut him down with an incisive use of proven facts:
Great!
First, I would like to speak with Dr. AI Fen.
She worked at Wuhan Central Hospital and tried to sound the alarm on the virus.
Could you un-disappear her so we could speak?https://t.co/yvxGSKSEk9 https://t.co/mbL08cR4tW

For those who don’t know, to “disappear” someone is to kill them when they become politically problematic for the government, especially in a communist regime.
And there are many examples:
2. Next, I’d like to speak with Chen Qiushi and Fang Bin – two video bloggers that tried to bring the world a glimpse of Wuhan unfiltered by your Communist regime.

3. I’d like to speak with Li Zehua next.
He worked as a journalist in Wuhan and refused to stay silent on Covid. In his last report, he live-streamed his own arrest.

4. I’d then like to speak with Xu Zhiyong.
He was arrested after he criticized your party leader for his botched handling of the coronavirus outbreak.

5. They’re not available for comment? That’s odd.
Then let me speak with Ren Zhiqiang.
He committed the high crime of writing an article criticizing your regime’s attempt to cover up the Covid outbreak.

6. Ok, how about the hero doctor Li Wenliang then?
He was dragged to a police station in the middle of the night and forced to recant the early warning he wanted the world to hear.https://t.co/8B8UNZKHK0
— Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) April 10, 2020
Wow. It just keeps on going.
7. Could I speak with Xu Zhangrun?
He’s a law professor in Beijing that wrote an essay titled “Viral Alarm.”
It says what the world knows: your authoritarian regime and censorship hindered efforts to slow Covid’s spread.

8. I’d then like to speak with Xie Linka who worked at Wuhan Union Hospital.
She joined other Wuhan health officials in trying to sound the alarm on Covid before being berated and forced into silence by communist officials.
Can I speak with her?https://t.co/Yx1V3Z3Byk

And he finishes it off:
9. @SpokespersonCHN does your offer still stand? Or has it suddenly disappeared as things tend to do over there?
— Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) April 10, 2020
Wow. This thread went viral and for good reason. Many of us knew that China is a murderous regime, but when it’s documented like this, it really shows just how horrific the communist regime really is. Unfortunately, too many people are so emotionally invested in hating Trump that they’d even overlook this horrendous evil.
