People who buys stuff from AliExpress, that would be one.
If you go to Asian market, you can directly pay with Chinese Yuan with AliExpress.
You can get paid for ads if you publish videos on Chinese social media or video sites like YouTube alternatives.
Chinese Americans or Chinese international students paying each other back for outings or bring things from the US to China or the other way around.
I believe this is created by Steve Bannon and a Trump supporting Chinese billionaireBut then you have this....so who knows what to believe?
Chinese virologist posts report claiming COVID-19 was made in Wuhan lab
A Chinese virologist who has alleged that COVID-19 was human-made in a lab in China released a report on Monday that she says backs up her explosive claim. Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a former researcher at t…nypost.com
It's not just social media that's destroying generations, universities are responsible, as are the lame stream media.
How Steve Bannon and a Chinese Billionaire Created a Right-Wing Coronavirus Media Sensation (Published 2020)
Increasingly allied, the American far right and members of the Chinese diaspora tapped into social media to give a Hong Kong researcher a vast audience for peddling unsubstantiated pandemic claims.
Sure, because people vote based on what's in your head. Not a Trump fan (but because people who dislike him make such ridiculous statements I sometimes play one on TV) but if not for CV19 he would have cruised to an easy reelection on the heels of the best economy in ages. But thats not what happened. An elected president who helped make ground breaking peace deals in the Middle East is unlikely to rank among the worst things to happen in the US for very few Americans outside the small group which lost their minds over a 1990s Democrat being elected in 2016.
Also the Supreme Court has made it harder to role back executive orders so now all of them can be litigated. So, it may not be so easy in the future.

I know my fellow Americans have empathy when they call their opponents cultists. Its a reminder of how we all love our neighbors and treat their differing views with respect. Thanks for restoring my faith in the public.
I am taking it you accidently ate gutter oil and got sick like me? I love the people I've met there absolutely hate the government though. If mainland China was like Taiwan in an alternate history scenario the world woud be a better place.
That's how I read his comment, nothing to do with being a racist, rather more that the government are disgusting - which they are, nothing more than dictators.
You've got to love how so many people are quick to call "racist". That word has lost all meaning as it's being thrown around like confetti.
The NY Post is basically the US equivalent of the British Daily Mail.But then you have this....so who knows what to believe?

Both are gutter trash rags.
It might be "mainstream", but it's utter garbage and design to numb the brains of their readers.
While all very interesting points, I can’t see how this has to do with WeChat being banned in the US anymore ?First link says
"Just in case you don't know. Dr Montagnier has been rolling downhill incredibly fast in the last few years. From baselessly defending homeopathy to becoming an antivaxxer. Whatever he says, just don't believe him,"
Did some googling, turns out, it's true. He's gone off to the deep end:
"Montagnier is promoting wild theories with little scientific basis, and now he is taking advantage of vulnerable parents (see his appeal here) to push a therapy of long-term antibiotic treatment for autistic children."
Nobel laureate joins anti-vaccination crowd at Autism One
The AutismOne conference gets a Nobel laureate to spout psuedoscience and help promote anti-vaccine nonsense. Jenny McCarthy and Andrew Wakefield speak too.www.forbes.com
"Montagnier hasn't been able to publish this in a proper journal, for a very good reason: it's nonsense. He claims that quantum field theory - an area of physics in which he has no qualifications - explains how electromagnetic waves emanating from DNA can explain not only autism, but also Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, and rheumatoid arthritis"
I can't find any info of the doctor in the second link.
I'm going to file this under "BS" until someone more credible says otherwise.
Think other businesses other than your local CVS. My company uses those types of payment systems (in addition to the normal payment choices) because we do business with China, and they are prevalent there. If you want a piece of the pie you need to offer those options for your customers.
Aren't they all - the guardian is the worst ever for this - hence my comment that you can't rely on what the lame stream media wish to tell you - in order to get to the truth you have to go on an adventure and get the full picture from the horses mouth, otherwise you are just given the writer of the articles point of view, and what they want you to believe.
It took a poor loser with a power complex to test the Constitution in ways never seen before in the history of the US.
Hopefully, some amendments will be made that will disallow future poor losers / power-hungry dictators to pull the same crap.
What "truth" would actually make people happy? The truth is no evidence of tampering or fraud has been found. The burden of proof is on those that are claiming there is fraud. 60 court cases have shown there is no fraud.
The facts are, if people are told often enough the sky is green and grass is blue, then pretty soon a sufficient number of people who can't think for themselves will believe it.
Maybe we should go back to the 2016 election and claim it was fraudulent?
EDIT: Actually there has been election fraud. It was attempted by Trump on his phone call to GA Sec of State, trying to strong-arm him into "finding" 11,780 votes to flip the vote there. That is actual evidence that you can't dispute.

Glad to see Trump is doing all the hard work with Chinese apps , oh wait we have a pandemic and 300k Americans have died under his watch. Turd
Because no amount of investigation would change the minds of Trump followers. Any investigation that didn't go in Trumps favor would be classified as fraudulent or "rigged". The sad fact is, even Trump appointed judges have disallowed lawsuits based on lack of evidence, but even that is not good enough.
I wonder what those muppets think about the latest numbers from Georgia? They stole the elections the second time?
?
The inauguration actually use to be in May (or maybe March, can't quite remember). It was moved forward to January 20th back in the 1800s
Are you really that naive? The election was decided two months ago. Out of fifty-plus lawsuits Trump’s minions have filed, they've only won what, one? two? - one that that merely said that they could have observers stand a bit closer, and another that disallowed a handful of provisional ballots.
In front of the courthouses (and all over conservative “news” outlets) they loudly proclaim fraud, but when they go inside the courtroom, where lying has consequences, they never allege fraud.
Today’s circus event will let a bunch of Republican members of Congress curry favor with Trump’s supporters (at the mere cost of trying to overturn the results of a lawful and properly conducted election), but the result is pre-ordained - all Pence gets to do is open the envelopes and read the results. Just like someone presenting at the Oscars or Grammys - they’re reading a name, not making the decision.
I sincerely hope that those Senators and Representatives participating in trying to overturn the election face actual consequences for their conduct.
The election was properly conducted. Trump and a lot of his followers have made all sorts of wild accusations, but have brought forth no actual verifiable evidence - if the fraud is as widespread as they allege, then real verifiable evidence should be plentiful. Where is it? Why haven’t they introduced it in court, in the past two months. None of their supposed evidence has withstood scrutiny.
Making allegations is easy, if you don’t have to back them up - I allege that xnsys has murdered at least 50 people - now, you prove me wrong. See how easy that is? There are way more than 50 unsolved murders in the world, and xnsys has been alleged to have committed many murders, it’s obvious that xnsys must be responsible for most of them. Now, prove that you haven’t committed all those murders. If you really feel that you haven’t committed all those murders, then you should be willing to put everything else on hold for months or years while you conclusively prove that you didn’t do them. That’s reasonable to ask, isn’t it?
Are you on an Apple device?
Was very likely made in China. Why not have the courage of your convictions and stop using it?
