===== Fake news
When a government controls all information to make it look good, and no one can challenge it, you cannot trust _any_ of the news produced by that country, as anything could be fake.
It is much better to have some fake news, but also few sources that are likely telling the truth.
<<ciro-santilli>> is also extremely critical of Western social media companies such as Twitter and Facebook which have censored "fake news" from real legitimate accounts.
If it is from a Chinese/Russian botent, sure, destroy those accounts.
But from legitimate accounts? The people have to decide for themselves what is fake or real, not you Twitter and Facebook. If the majority is made of idiots who believe fake news, then so be it, that's how democracy works.
More interesting case is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_First_Amendment_Institute_v._Trump[]. Part of Ciro feels that people who try to have meaningful discussions on Twitter should automatically lose a lawsuit, and that people should be able to block whoever they want.

==== FLG supports Donald Trump 法轮功支持特朗普
==== Falun Gong supports Donald (Trump, 法轮功支持特朗普)
<<ciro-santilli>> believes he has heard praises to Trump directly in <<li-hongzhi,Li Hongzhi>>'s speeches, but could not find a source.
<<ciro-santilli>> believes that the huge majoarity of Falun Gong believers strongly supports Trump.
Also, the <<epoch-times,Falun Gong controlled newspaper>> has donated to Trump propaganda: $1.5 million https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-qanon-impending-judgment-day-behind-facebook-fueled-rise-epoch-n1044121
Like everything else concrete, it is not clear if Li Hongzhi has directly supported this or not.
But of course, so long as those respect the laws of the country, they are free to do it and must not be interfered. As if other major American media didn't have political agendas.
Ciro feels without proof however that it is very likely that he has given such directives to his top tenants, which then flows through the rest of the media.
It is therefore extremely likely that 99.999% of Falun Gong believers also support Trump.
Trump has been vocal about China's threat, and correclty so in Ciro's opinion, and therefore is a much needed ally of the movement.
This is exactly the same, in fact, as <<flg-religion,Christian groups>> which always gather behind "the right".
For example, NBC News claims that the <<epoch-times>> has donated to Trump propaganda: $1.5 million https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-qanon-impending-judgment-day-behind-facebook-fueled-rise-epoch-n1044121
In the case of the Falun Gong however, Trump has been vocal about China's threat, and therefore is a much needed ally of the movement.
And they have always undoubtedly been very favorable to Trump in their news coverage.
Of course, so long as those campaigns respect the laws of the country, they are free to do it and must not be interfered. As if other major American media didn't have political agendas: <<usa-based-media-bias>>.
This is exactly the same, in fact, as <<flg-religion,Christian groups>>, which always gather behind "the right".
Trump's immigration policies have turned Asian Americans towards the democrat opposition however as of 2019: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/5/13/18308137/asian-american-voters-immigration-democrats-donald-trump
One saving point of the republicans for Asians is the opposition to university quotas instance, which many Asians feel blocks their high performing kids from top schools for less deserving Black students. This also plays into possible cross Asian-Black racism tensions.
One saving point of the republicans for Asians is the opposition to university quotas instance, which many Asians feel blocks their high performing kids from top schools for less deserving students. This is suggested for example at: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/yang-asian-americans-affirmative-action/605917/ "Opposition to affirmative action was pulling Asians toward the GOP. Then Yang’s campaign began to gather momentum."

The Epoch Times was one of the few newspapers at the time to give importance to those claims, e.g.: https://web.archive.org/web/20201107223813/https://www.theepochtimes.com/[], which mentions for example: "Why The Epoch Times Won’t Call the Presidential Race Until All Challenges Are Resolved".
