Headline: CHINA NUKED!

Body Text: Okay, well, not actually, but could you imagine if it did?

the loss of usaid funding for sinophonic propaganda stories has officially reached the Doing More With Less austerity phase.

Not sure who's reporting it, but it's being reported somewhere according to someone... possibly.

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

Oh No! No coal?! I guess we'll just have to use our Thorium or Fusion reactors

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.

Your ex reportedly experiencing great regret about leaving you for someone better

lmao

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."

They must be struggling now without US coal
