About Biased Chinese

Hi there, welcome to Biased Chinese. This is purely, deeply, truly personal. I’m a millennial Chinese mainlander, and I’ve spent the first 30 years of my life in China, which means I’ve been through the reform and opening up, the earthquake in 2008, the build-up of the Great Fire Wall, and lastly the Covid-19. In this podcast, I just wanna give a common individual Chinese perspective on the things happening. Because I’m sick of propaganda, and I simply don’t wanna be represented by anyone else without my consent. Like millions of the commoners in China, here’s what I think.#ChinaPolitics #ChinesePeople #ChineseCulture #ChinaTaiwan #ChineseEconomy

Monthly China April 2026 | Trump’s War in Iran Drags On/ Japanese SDF Officer Break into Embassy of China/ ShenZhen Smoking Scandal/UAE Exits OPEC

On the the 7th of April Trump posted : “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that ‌to happen, but it probably will. We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.” A lot of people were shocked by this blatant threat. But anyone with intelligence can tell by the text how desperate he is, which means the United States couldn’t get rid of this deepshit fast as they expected. Every American is paying for the bombs on the land of Iran, whereas no European allies want to get involved. The blockage of the strait of Hormuz is purposefully made and now we’re in a game called “lets see who can hold the breath longer” Small countries panic first, such as south korea and philippine. Coincidentally one of my American friends sent me the News of BBC sth like Europe has maybe six weeks of jet fuel left. And She did actually change the plan and fly back to the states earlier before all the flights were cancelled as she imagined. What seems more ridiculous is that Trump continued his show singled-sidedly announcing the war in Iran was over and then expected the world to blindly follow his imagination. It reminds me of the folktale The emperor’s new clothes in every facet. In reality, we all know what happens now, and the US asked for it. What can I say, the fire is lighted up. And the tension is simmering in every corner. On the 24th of April, a Japanese self-defense officer broke into the Embassy of China in Tokyo through the wall with a knife, he claimed that he wanted to stop China’s aggressive propaganda towards Japan, quote “remain from hardline statements” and saying he would kill himself with the knife if the ambassador refused his opinion.

Monthly China March 2026 | War in Iran/ Pursuit of Jade/ ZhangXueFeng’s Death

On the first day of March, the world woke up immediately drown into the news of the death of Ali Khamenei and US attack on Iran. Trump continued wielding his knife and stabbed the people of his same kind from the back with smug. Obviously he didn’t realize that it’s easy to start it but hard to end like his crisp Venezela blitz. Personally, I shared the joy with my Iranian friend who’s living abroad, but I understand the people inside her country probably hold a more complicated feeling and more pragmatical concerns. So you may wonder what’s China’s attitudes? In sum, china can provide money to the current Iranian regime, but not military protection. As the world knows, China is the biggest buyer for Iranian oil, and indeed China financially benefits a lot due to American sanction to Iran. If you were China, why on earth would you give it up? Dude, you can think by your toe. Even a dumbass can do a correct math here. So, China will continue doing this business as long as it’s making profit. Again, who else won’t ? Trump’s attack made a huge cost from America’s budget, I wonder how long can he even the number on his accounting book as the war drags on.

Monthly China February 2026 | Now we know it all started with Epstein Files

There’s famous phrase on politics in ancient china, around 300 BC, Zhuangzi, a representative of Daoism gave the insight about his current society as follows: 窃钩者诛 窃国者侯 (Here is one who steals a hook - he is put to death for it: here is another who steals a state - he becomes its prince.) That’s the reason why people despise the politics. Over three thousand years till now, we still see it’s proven true. I feel that it’s from the same idea that there originated a phrase from the USA that “If you owe your bank ten thousand dollars, you have a problem. But if you owe the bank ten million dollars, the bank has a problem” We’ve seen the rehearsal in 2008, “too big to fail’, what do you think? Burying your head into the sand won’t solve the problem, 18 years later, it comes up in a more furious way. The problem is straight away: how do you deal with Trump? I have been keeping an eye on the case of Epstein since 2019 when he died in the jail. I believe a lot of people already smelled the rat at the moment. But unfortunately then, boom, the covid came, the world changed.

Monthly China January 2026 | Capture of Maduro from Venezuela / Manifestation in Iran/Greenland Tension/Taliban Girl Education Ban/ PLA

Unsurprisingly, the first fire of 2026 was lit up by the USA. On the third of January, I believe, most people’s attention worldwide was given to Venezuela, since their dictator-president Nicolas Madura was snatched up by the the US task force from pentagon and transferred to New York City over night. It is a huge slap in the face to China indeed because on the same day in the afternoon, before Maduro was kidnapped to the US, he just met Chinese special envoy. We common Chinese don’t know what they were talking about, but we do realize that Chinese government lost on this game. And the oil deal between the Chinese government and Venezuela was unsurprisingly over. But personally, I’m happy for Venezuela people, and I assure you a lot of Chinese people feel this way. What else can you do when a dictator is down, celebrate of course. The sun will continue to rise and fall, the earth will continue spinning. Nobody is irreplaceable. Especially we don’t give a single fuck to a dictator. A week later, people’s attention switched to manifestation in Iran, another country of oil and dictator. The world paused to see if Trump would really take his words into action under his smug vibe from Venezuela. But it turned out just bluffing in the end. What Trump really fooled is the Iranian people who summoned up courage to stand up to their vicious government and lost their life. Till this moment I write, Iranian people are still fighting and suffering. But the media spotlight has already moved on to Greenland on 16th January when Trump threatened to use force to invade Greenland and tried to back down the Europe by his beloved tarif. And the European Union finally realized that if you continue to ignore this retard in order to keep your dignity, then this stupid head with the most power in the world would take your decent silence as an agreement. So the lesson is that if you know you fight with a pig, you should be ready to smear your body with shit, any hesitation is stupid. France got this lesson hard, but finally it jumped into the battlefield.

Monthly China December 2025 | Henan Suicide on Wedding Day/ Ban on Christmas Celebration/Taiwan Military Drills

If you know anything about Chinese YinYangBaGua, you’d know that the year of 2026 is a year of Fire, which usually means violence and war. So when I saw the PLA (People’s Liberation Army)’s action on Taiwan the day before the New Year’s Eve, I took it seriously. Immediately I messaged my Taiwanese friend to think about a plan B. She asked me in return, why don’t you mainlanders resist, I told her that people who resisted had been in jail. The work of propaganda over 5 years has shown its effect now on the net, you can only see nationalists’ feverish support. And what’s worse, I can tell you this, if the war breaks out tomorrow, most mainlanders won’t be surprised at all, which means, sadly, people are mentally prepared, or in another word, accept it.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
