On one hand, I like that Reuters copy/pastes reports from KCNA. Reuters definitely has a western bias. On the other hand, sometimes KCNA articles are long and confusing and have non-descriptive article titles, sometimes the reuters article has extra information to contextualize the KCNA reporting, though Reuters is biased. Reuters is biased but consistent.

I posted reuters article because I know that there are some users who will see this post and still not know what KCNA is. Even some of the biggest DPRK stans don't read KCNA. I made this comm to showcase websites hosted in DPRK, therefore I put DPRK perspective in the OP and western perspective in the comment section.

I added a Chinese article to show China's perspective of the bridge. The China Daily article has 6 additional photos of the bridge.

    Ribbon-cutting Ceremony of DPRK-China Amnok River Bridge Held

    Pyongyang, October 16 (KCNA) -- At a time when the work to deepen exchange and cooperation between the DPRK and China is designed and dynamically accelerated, the DPRK-China Amnok River Bridge was completed.

    The bridge is the creation reflecting the invincible vitality and development of the DPRK-China friendship which has preserved its nature despite the trials of history.

    The modern bridge enables the two countries to boost the bilateral economic relations.

    The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the bridge was held on the spot on October 15 amid the expectation and interest of the governments and peoples of the two countries.

    Present there were Yang Myong Chol, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Ri Jong Hyok, vice-chairman of the North Phyongan Provincial People's Committee, Ri Ryong Nam, the DPRK ambassador to China, Ma Jong Su, the DPRK consul general in Shenyang, officials concerned and officials of the Party and power organs in North Phyongan Province and Sinuiju City.

    On hand there were Xu Kunlin, secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, Bai Ying, vice-governor of the Liaoning Provincial People's Government, Wang Yajun, the Chinese ambassador to the DPRK, and officials in Beijing and local areas including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Liaoning Province.

    The national anthems of the DPRK and People's Republic of China were played there.

    Li Qiang, premier of the State Council of the PRC, and Pak Thae Song, premier of the Cabinet of the DPRK, made speeches through video conferencing.

    Li Qiang warmly congratulated the opening of the China-DPRK Amnok River Bridge in the deep attention of Comrade General Secretary Xi Jinping and Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un on behalf of the Chinese party and government.

    He confirmed that the Chinese party and government would remain unchanged in their firm attitude to highly prioritize the China-DPRK friendship no matter how the international situation may change and in their firm support to the socialist cause of the DPRK led by Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un and in their firm determination to defend the common interests of the two countries and strategic environment.

    He expressed his willingness to thoroughly implement the important common understanding of the top leaders of the two parties and two countries together with the DPRK side, deepen political mutual trust and expand the practical cooperation and thus contribute to the development of the China-DPRK relations and the promotion of the well-being of the peoples of the two countries.

    Pak Thae Song said that the opening ceremony of the bridge serves as a significant occasion of not only connecting the branches of the two countries in a fresh, natural and geographical way but also firmly linking the friendly ties between the peoples of the two countries who have shared life and death for a long time.

    It is the consistent stand of the DPRK government to steadily put the DPRK-China friendly and cooperative relations with socialism, the common idea, common banner and the common cause, as the core on a new strategic height in conformity with the interests and desire of the peoples of the two countries, he stressed.

    Expressing belief that the bridge would accelerate the advance for the prosperity of the two countries and the well-being of the peoples and add fresh vigour to the equally-beneficial economic cooperation, he congratulated the opening of the bridge.

    Yang Myong Chol, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, and Xu Kunlin, secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, made congratulatory speeches.

    The speakers expressed thanks to the officials and builders in the relevant fields of the two countries for their sincere sweat, efforts and wisdom for opening of the bridge.

    The opening of the Amnok River Bridge held in October marking the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the entry of the Chinese People's Volunteers into the Korean front is a clear manifestation of the DPRK-China friendly and cooperative relations dynamically developing on a new high stage thanks to the deep personal relations between respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and respected Comrade Xi Jinping and their energetic leadership, they stressed.

    They expressed the will to boost bilateral exchange and cooperation for the development of the DPRK-China relations, wishing the traditional DPRK-China friendship, the common wealth of the two countries, eternal.

    The ribbon was cut by Yang Myong Chol, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Ri Ryong Nam, the DPRK ambassador to China, Ma Jong Su, consul general in Shenyang, Xu Kunlin, secretary of the Liaoning Committee of the Communist Party of China, Wang Yajun, the Chinese ambassador to the DPRK, and Zhao Cheng, head of the Publicity Department of the Liaoning Committee of CPC.

    After the passing of vehicles of the two countries, the opening of the DPRK-China Amnok River Bridge was declared. -0-

    Amsterdam server seized at request of U.S. authorities after antifa allegations in c/technology@hexbear.net
    [–] 11 points 12 hours ago

    The US had designated Austici/Inventati as a terrorist organization and OFAC sanctions before seizing the servers. A terrorism designation is basically meant to strip an individual or organization of their rights. The US government will try to seize the assets of anyone who financially aids an entity on the OFAC list. The Dutch complied with the seizure order because of the terrorism designation. This is also a violation of the law known as 'Section 230', which says that internet services are not legally liable for communications made by their users. The US government could designate Hexbear as a terrorism organization and place OFAC sanctions on Hexbear, but that would be extra steps.

    • Amsterdam server seized at request of U.S. authorities after antifa allegations in c/technology@hexbear.net
    [–] 18 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 child)

    This is the official statement from Autistici/Inventati on the server being seized. A member of the organization says that the server was wiped before being seized. The keepitfree website is owned by Austici/Inventati.

    Oct 14, 2026

    Amsterdam police seize server belonging to leftist internet service provider A/I at US request - by Marloes de Koning for NRC (NL)

    On Tuesday, a unit of the Amsterdam police seized a server belonging to the Italian internet service provider Autistici/Inventati (A/I) at a data center in Amsterdam’s Science Park. The seizure was carried out pursuant to a US request for legal assistance. A copy of the server’s contents is now being sent to the US.

    A/I was a left-wing, anti-capitalist organization that had provided free web hosting and email services to around twenty thousand organizations worldwide over the past twenty-five years. According to the US government, A/I thereby facilitated ‘Antifa’—short for ‘anti-fascists’. The Trump administration views Antifa as a terrorist organization; consequently, A/I itself was designated as a terrorist entity in late August. This was unprecedented; as a rule, internet service providers are not held liable for the content their users post online.

    As a result of the sanction, the organization lost access to its bank account and domain name. Just over a week after the sanction was announced, the volunteers running the service decided to cease operations and dismantle A/I.

    They took this step to avoid putting individuals or organizations at risk due to their ties to A/I—such as being donors or users of A/I’s web hosting or email services.

    The seizure of the server in Amsterdam suggests that this fear is not unfounded. Amsterdam police had the server collected following a US request for legal assistance. “You simply carry that out,” a spokesperson said by phone. Police digital experts are currently creating an ‘image’—a digital copy—of the server. “That goes straight to America.” The owners will receive the server back afterwards. A/I had servers located at various sites across Europe. Over the past few weeks, these have been shut down and the drives wiped, says an insider who is speaking only on condition of anonymity for safety reasons. Dissolving and dismantling the legal entity—A/I is a type of foundation—takes time, he explains. Under Italian law, a non-profit organization is required to have no remaining assets upon dissolution. A small group of former volunteers is handling the winding-up process, with minimal contact between them.

    The server in the Netherlands was “one of the last pieces of hardware we wanted to get rid of. We were in touch with DC1 (the data center, a distant successor to Xs4all) about it.” According to him, the encrypted server contains nothing that could cause problems for A/I users. “I’m not worried. Just surprised.” The spokesperson had hoped that dissolving the organization would satisfy the Americans.

    Netanyahu is up for re-election this month, so his opponents have been saying that he knew about October 7 and let it happen so that he could conduct attacks on Gaza. There are somehow further right wing parties in Israel that have been saying that Netanyahu is secretly a Palestinian. Israel political parties are like fascist and even more fascist.

    DPRK test-fired two kinds of submarine-launched strategic cruise missiles in the East Sea of Korea on October 14 (thelemmy.club)

    My beliefs in c/politics@hexbear.net
    [–] 2 points 1 day ago (1 child)

    I can tell that someone has accused you of being a Republican before because I haven't accused you of being a Republican. Yet, you have a whole response prepared as if I did.

    I'm not saying that you belong in the "republican box". I'm saying that the "narcissism" narrative that you described in your tiktoks fits into every box, because it's populism. Populism is shit that people say to be more popular, but doesn't necessarily mean anything.

    Take the phrase "common sense", for example. Tell 10 different people, "I believe in a common sense solution to health care", and each person will think you meant something different. Republican says, "I believe in a common sense solution to healthcare, which means keeping the government out and keeping your private insurer." Democrat says, "I believe in a common sense solution to healthcare, which mean affordability and keeping access to your private insurer." Berniecrat says "I believe in a common sense solution to healthcare, which means medicare for all to bring healthcare access to all uninsured people." All of the people believe that their healthcare policy is "common sense" because the phrase "common sense" doesn't mean anything.

    So look at your usage of the word "narcissist". Again, you could tell 10 different people "I think that there are too many narcissists" and most of them would agree with you but they all interpret the sentence in a different way. Republican says "I think that there are too many narcissists, which means that too many entitled people are receiving welfare from my taxes." Democrat says "I think that there are too many narcissists, which means that Trump supports only care about themselves because they are against government policies that help people." Berniecrat "I think that there are too many narcissists, because the billionaires are hoarding wealth while everyday Americans are struggling to make ends meet." The word "narcissist" means something different to every person.

    I gave Ronald Reagan's "welfare queen" campaign as a historic example of Republican's anti-entitlement rhetoric. Reagan's campaign used the messaging to spark a moral panic about alleged welfare abuse. I'll give you some examples from my real life since I live in the south and I've talked to maga chuds. A few months ago, there was an contamination of the city water supply and there an advisory sent out to not drink the water. Some guy told me "I hate that people are complaining about the warning to not drink the water. Those people are narcissists." This guy thought that it was narcissism to expect the city water to be clean and drinkable. I've also had many people tell me that wanting to increase the federal minimum wage is narcissistic.

    If someone introduces themselves to you and the first thing that they say is that they are against "entitled people", that should be a massive red flag; it usually means that they are a chud. In the 80s and 90s, Republicans were obsessed with 'tort reform'. Tort reform means preventing people from suing businesses for having dangerous practices. If a business hurt you and you tried to seek restitution, Republicans wanted to stop that because they want to protect the capitalist class. The reasoning that Republicans argue though is that lawsuits would cause the business to raise prices for everyone and therefore someone who seeks restitution for damages is "narcissistic" because then everyone would pay higher prices at the business. You may have heard the famous case where an elderly woman was injured by being served boiling coffee at McDonald's. Coffee should never be served at boiling temperatures.

    The word "narcissism" means many things to many people. The word "narcissism" is a subjective value judgement. Every person thinks that a different group of people is narcissists. By proclaiming that your worldview is anti-narcissists, you are not placed into 1 box, you are trying to fit into every box. Pursuing a world without "narcissism" is not a real goal because "narcissism" means different things to every person.

    The purpose of Marxist socialism is to have an objective view of society ie materialism. 400 years ago, the world was dominated by an economic system called Feudalism. Feudalism meant that there were peasants and feudal lords. The feudal lords owned the land, this is where the word 'landlord' comes from. The peasants worked on the land and then the feudal lords took a portion of the crops from the peasants. Exploitation is a use of power to extract value. The feudal lords had power over the peasants by owning the land, peasants were not able to acquire land, and the feudal lords extracted value from the peasants by taking some of the crops. The capitalist economic system operates in a similar way, though Marx considered Capitalism to be less exploitative than Feudalism. The capitalist class exploits the working class by owning the means of production.

    Were the feudal lords motivated by narcissism? Did the peasant class recognize "individual responsibility"? Did the peasant class use drugs as a form of medicine or escapism? These are nonsensical questions. The answers to these questions do not matter. Feudalism did not end because people stopped "narcissism" or recognized "personal responsibility". Feudalism ended when the Feudal Lords did not own the lands anymore, ie taken from them. Capitalism will end when capitalists do not own the means of production.

    Additionally, I was not mocking your accent/impersonation videos. I think that impersonations are funny, in a good way, as long as you aren't making fun of ESL people. Impersonations of famous people, such as presidents, is a fun party trick.

    I'm not going to go into detail about how the US anti-drug laws were racially motivated and then in the 1970s, the US forced its drug laws onto the entire world through the United Nations. Your anti-drug video was not about how drugs are harmful, you were mocking people for using drugs and declaring yourself to be a better person than them. It was a punching-down video. If you'll notice, I wrote "if you're angry that people self-medicate in a country without access to healthcare, that's just ignorant". People in the US do illicit drugs because they can't go to a regular doctor or psychiatrist or therapist. I don't know why you would bring up the USSR as a counter-example, when the USSR had public healthcare. In your video, you're just saying that other people deserve to suffer because you say that you suffered, and that's just ignorant.

    I like modern China (PRC) and I don't agree with all of their drug laws. PRC only made marijuana illegal in the 1980s and they did that because the US told them to do it. I've seen multiple articles from Chinese news agencies say that people die from Marijuana overdoses, which is not a thing that happens. PRC has 50,000 km of high speed rail and healthcare. I think if you asked most illicit drug users in the US if they'd rather have drugs or healthcare and 50k km of high speed rail, they would choose the latter. If US wasn't a hellscape, less people would do drugs. The same applies to other forms of escapism such as video games. US people complain that China has more restrictions on video games. If people in the US had the same material benefits as people in China, then people in the US wouldn't want to play video games so much.

    If you have questions about the history of drug use in the United States, post a question or questions in !askchapo@hexbear.net

    The movie is going to be released directly to The Daily Wire streaming service, says so on the trailer, so I don't know if normal people will ever watch this movie. The cast being all mainstream actors is what surprises me.

    All of The Daily Wire movies are about conservative fantasies, so I think you are correct that it will be written that way.

    Performance Given to Celebrate 81st Founding Anniversary of WPK

    Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- A celebration performance was given with splendor at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium on Oct. 10, the 81st founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea, now that the people's absolute confidence in the WPK, the great guide and invincible vanguard for the Juche revolution, is growing stronger along with the significant October holiday.

    The WPK is ushering in an era of dignity and glory, a long-cherished desire of all generations of this land, while firmly preserving its revolutionary character and true nature, never to be found in other parts of the world, without any deviation and fading from the day when it solemnly declared its founding with the emblem representing the people embroidered on the red flag held aloft in Paektu. The venue of the performance was overflowing with deep reverence for the Party, alongside the audiences recollecting with deep emotion the sacred founding history of the Party and its immortal exploits.

    Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, watched the performance.

    Stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" went up among the audiences paying the highest glory and respect to Comrade Kim Jong Un, the great leader of the ever-victorious WPK, who is representing the dignity and mightiness of the DPRK.

    Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly waved back to the enthusiastically cheering crowds as a token of his congratulations to all the participants on the Party founding day.

    Among the audience were members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee and other leading officials of the Party and the government, officials of the Party Central Committee, ministries, national agencies and armed forces organs, creators, artistes, youth and students and other citizens in Pyongyang.

    Present there on invitation were diplomatic envoys and members of foreign missions here.

    The performance began with prelude "Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea" and "Fly High, Our Party Flag". Put on the stage were all-people hymns to the WPK and patriotic songs, played in good artistic harmony with vocals, dance, acrobatics, gymnastics and military band's performance.

    Enthusiastically singing the odes to the Party, produced by the sacred experiences of the people, the performers sang high praises of the glorious history and immortal exploits of the WPK that built on this land a dignified country, where people's dreams and ideals come true, and made great world-startling miracles and changes century after century, hewing the untrodden path of the socialist cause, arduous yet sacred, for over 80 years.

    The audience fervently applauded the famous songs which made them feel proud of the greatness and mightiness of the WPK that has written the longest history as a ruling party in the world, fulfilling the most righteous mission and implementing the noble idea, reminding them of their great honor and fortune of having the wise political staff confidently steering our cause straight to victory.
