ConservativeChitChat is a website aimed at followers of conservative politics, with regular posts of news you might want to pay attention to, mixed with the occasional blog post commenting on current events. This particular blog is intended as a back-up account in the event of technical issues with the main website.
The ConservativeChitChat website is having some sort of technical issue..... it's still viewable at http://blogs.conservativechitchat.co.uk/
But when I try to log-in to do stuff it gives me some BS about "There has been a critical error on your website" and apparently I need to check a message on the webhost's CPanel......
Here's two notable things I've spotted pop-up in my timeline about China that you might want to take note of if you missed it earlier.First-up from the Daily Signal (a news outlet created by the highly esteemed American Think-tank The Heritage Foundation), writing about the how the world's relationship with China will likely have to change once things start getting back to normal......
Make no mistake: The global struggle with China is about to go to the next level.
By triggering a global disease outbreak, the Chinese Communist Party’s reprehensible behavior crossed the last line—leaving other nations no recourse but to push back. Hard. https://t.co/3ujU6obCLz

Meanwhile it seems the EU & China have conspired in trying to cover-up things they shouldn't be.....
China pressured the EU to change a report about their pandemic coverup — and they did https://t.co/88cLjnUhCL
One of the first news stories I came across today was ex. Culture Committee Chairman Damien Collins calling for British Ministers to copy the Aussies in making Google and Facebook pay for news content.
Ministers must follow Australia by making Facebook and Google pay for UK news media content to prevent the 'death of the industry', ex-Culture Committee chair Damian Collins says https://t.co/RA44exMycl (cobblers! all they do is steer people to the content with a brief snippet...

This doesn't really make much sense to me as a nearly 21-year veteran of using the Interweb, as these platforms are mostly intended as a place to promote content with a snippet like the one above in order to help drive traffic to the news websites.This is a concept so simple that even a Bernie Sanders supporter can make instructional videos about it telling people how to promote their content online, and then make money with it.
They can do this through Google AdSense ads like the ones scattered over this blog, as well as other options such as Amazon Associates, Ebay Partner Platform, Media.net, BuySellsAds + others.
Lastnight I tried to share a YouTube video on Twitter, but something a bit weird happened.The video was about a slightly dodgy electrical heating device made in China, and had the title "Chinese automatic house ignitor. (also available in pink)" and was made by a British Youtuber called Bigclivedotcom. Here it is below for your viewing pleasure:Unfortunately trying to share it to twitter via either the share button, or copy & pasting the title and url directly into twitter did not go smoothly.
The other day Peter Navarro (White House Trade advisor) was warning on the news that China is very aggressively trying to grab control of various agencies of the United Nations.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro claimed that China was “very aggressively” trying to “gain control" of agencies of the United Nations.
Navarro joined Fox News’s Martha MacCallum on her show Wednesday night to discuss China, its role in the coronavirus outbreak, and the communist country's relationship with agencies such as the World Health Organization.
“Martha, let me — let me give you a kind of bigger look at the chessboard here because the U.N. itself has 15 specialized agencies including the WHO, the World Intellectual Property Organization, things like that,” Navarro said.
“And what China has been doing very, very aggressively over the last decade is to try to gain control of those by electing people to the top," he continued.
This probably needs to nipped in the bud, as I've noticed in recent times signs that people are losing faith in the UN because for quite a while it has been showing signs it has started to wander too far from it's original intentions of giving nations a place to talk to try avoid another bout of fisticuffs like previously seen in the first 2 World Wars.
Many other organisations have gone the same way, and aren't much better.
