Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Wait, where is this being discussed outside of Chinese media? I’ve only heard it mentioned on GlobalTimes and Hexbear
Reuters did an article about it a few weeks ago, framing it as "Who are you going to believe, China or Trump?"
The Independent published a different article a day later with the exact same title
It must have gotten some traction, because a week later, the New York Times did damage control over it
