Overseas Chinese are also hotly discussing this matter. Most Chinese readers are accustomed to the CCP’s suppression of real media reports, but they still find it ridiculous that the CCP’s sensitive “glass heart”.
A netizen tweeted an old photo of the Epoch Times box being vandalized in October 2021. The lock of the newspaper box in the photo was blocked with glue, so that the Epoch Times publishers could not take out the change for the newspapers. In addition, vandals inserted small iron rods into the coin slot to prevent readers from buying the newspaper.
The tweeter left a message: “As far as I know, this kind of thing of blocking the lock cylinder is only invented by the Chinese. Foreigners don’t know it at all, and they can’t think of such an immoral way.” He believes that the behavior of “blocking the lock cylinder” is a The evil deeds that only occur under the CCP system, the blocking of the Epoch Times newspaper box, is like the CCP’s epidemic prevention policy, where relevant units forcibly sealed doors with electric welding, iron wire, rivets, or simply blocked the entire big city.
Mr. Zheng, a loyal reader of The Epoch Times, said that the CCP authorities have blocked The Epoch Times for a long time. Mainlanders cannot log in to the Epoch Times website, and the WeChat account he uses overseas cannot forward relevant content. However, there are still many Chinese online readers. The wall came out to see the “Epoch Times” report.
Mr. Zheng believes that most people have a desire to seek the truth, and the more the CCP prohibits it, the more curious people become. He felt ridiculous that the CCP authorities blocked Doctor Strange 2 because of the Epoch Times newspaper box. The official behavior has instead brought about an alternative propaganda effect, making more readers who have never seen the Epoch Times before want to understand the media and read the newspaper.
Southern California pro-democracy activist Jie Lijian believes that the CCP is afraid of The Epoch Times, so he should pay attention to even the corner of the movie with yellow cardboard boxes. , justice and truth are the greatest weapon to ‘clear’ the CCP and end the evil tyranny.”
Jie Lijian also stopped the Chinese who tried to steal newspapers from the newspaper box of The Epoch Times. He said: “The CCP’s overseas infiltration forces are omnipresent, attacking pro-democracy activists and destroying the Epoch Times newspaper box.” But there are still many enthusiastic Chinese communities in Los Angeles. The public, take the initiative to stop the smugglers, or provide clues about the distribution department of The Epoch Times.
During September 2020, many newspaper boxes of The Epoch Times in New York’s Chinatown, Manhattan’s 42nd Street, Brooklyn and other places were repeatedly sprayed or otherwise damaged. It was suspected that pro-CCP people were involved in the crime. Report to the police.
