    Expert sources familiar with the matter report that it is theoretically possible for China to be, “a big stinky doo doo head”.

    While the phrasing is hilarious, there do seem to have been blackouts throughout 2021. Here’s an article from the Global Times published 8 months later: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202109/1235270.shtml

    The unexpected and unprecedented power cut in three provinces in Northeast China - Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning - on Monday following reported electricity shortages have resulted in major disruptions to the daily lives of people and business operations, sparking growing concerns over the potential disruption of power supplies as demand booms ahead of the upcoming winter season.

    Power rationing in some parts of Northeast China, particularly in some residential communities without advance warning, has sparked public anger and growing debate over China’s power supply. Some have questioned if the recent power cuts are an indication of a potentially large domestic gap in power supplies that could lead to an “energy crisis.”

    What I hate about puke like this is that so many people won’t read past the headline, then they’ll go and say to others “hey, did you hear about the blackouts in China? What a hellhole of a country!”

    “Reportedly” doesn’t mean shit. Who “reported” it? I am reportedly a very handsome, intelligent, and talented man. Source: My mum.

    Disinformation and inaccuracies can quickly snowball to the point of large numbers of people believing something that isn’t even true. The news media distorts the truth with impunity and it’s fucked up.

      Still better sourcing than this, your mom knows you’re handsome and intelligent. They just made up a fake mom

      I wonder if blackouts in the west are ever considered newsworthy in China.

      The power was out at my place last year for a couple of days while they did roadworks for the entrance to somebougie apartment, does that count?

      What about when an indovidual smashes their car into power infrastructure and the whole suburb goes dark?

      Oh and remember when some fasciat yank was busy trying to take out their local power grid?

      Maybe theyre so overwhelmed by choice it doesnt get covered at all, that’d happen to me. I wish I could take anything seriously.
