Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Chinese Gorbachev is dead. I'm actually shocked. Western media was really banking on this guy doing to China what Gorbachev did to the USSR.
I know western China watchers thought he was the Chinese Gorbachev, but I have no idea if he actually was.
I'm exaggerating a bit. He was more right-wing than your average CPC member but nothing on the scale of Gorbachev.
He was part of the "right wing" of the CPC but he's not a Gorbachev. His politics would be similar to that of Hu Jintao
Did he also do a Pizza Hut commercial?
How closely aligned was he? I know that the US is notoriously ignorant on Chinese culture and politics and the CIA Is a failure over there. But I also know that for decades the CPC was a hotbed for corruption and bribery
