TheAltWorld Twitter Supports US State Department’s “Milk Tea Alliance” with Emojis
Twitter has once again interfered politically – this time across the entire Asian region by supporting the US State Department’s anti-China project, the “Milk Tea Alliance.”
It is a collection of regional opposition groups – all funded by the US government and all aimed at overthrowing Chinese-friendly governments in the region and replacing them with obedient, anti-Chinese client regimes.
This is just the latest example of not only Twitter collaborating with the US government – but US-based social media and tech companies working directly with the US State Department to advance US foreign policy objectives under the guise of promoting “freedom,” “democracy,” and “human rights.”
