What does being anti-CCP and anti-imperialism have anything to do with being xenophobic against Chinese people?

Oh you know. If you don't like X you're racist. It's the oldest game in the playbook. Don't agree with me? Racist. Don't do Y? Racist!

What year is this? 2005?
I see the same shit whenever people say they're against Israeli imperialism, they respond with "you're anti-semitic"

Are a non-native English speaker? I feel like I'm having a stroke reading your comment.

Nice argument, unfortunately:
Taiwan is a sovereign country
Nine-dash-line is baseless and shall not be observed by ASEAN countries

"The representative told Taiwan News that the purpose of the defacements was to protest against "Google's harsh inactive account policy" and to warn Russian President Vladimir Putin against using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine or jeopardizing the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant"
Could someone explain why Google or Russia would care about UN websites? That's like saying took a dump on the floor at my local McDonald's to protest the apartheid in Gaza.

Sounds like some masterful trolling to claim their hacktivism is motivated by such irrelevant goals

Or someone just trusted AI way too much to write the article for them. I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, just Twitter and Reddit posts linking to this same site.

It’s what you could classify as complete horseshit, that’s why.

The Google bit somewhat makes sense if that was the attack vector but the Russia bit makes little sense other than if they continue to try to annex Ukraine, they'll deface some websites to still show Ukraine as sovereign. I'm all for the move, the justifications though just seem a bit less impactful than just doing the act without comment

The country code top level domain for Taiwan is .tw (ISO 3166 online entry) which is valid on its own or when used after a generic TLD. If you're suggesting that this site is using
wwwandtaiwannewsas subdomains for the domaincomandtwcc TLD, this is not the case. It's thewwwsubdomain of domaintaiwannewswithcomTLD andtwcc TLD.LazaroFilm@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 3y

They waste time on this while the PRC makes strides in being more self sufficient
