China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
I love how every single comment making fun Xi the pooh here is getting downvoted lol
Here’s a little something for the dictator simps:
Gee, I wonder which group of users would do something like that…
Probably the antiracists. You should wonder if you’re on the right side when you are promoting and supporting racism.
LMAO! Racist? I didn’t know “dictator” was a race! Please, enlighten me.
The Winnie the Pooh meme about Xi is just racism. I don’t care if you think he’s a dictator.
It’s definitely part communists, but I think mostly special interest groups, maybe even from China itself.
You really want to feel special enough to think the Chinese government would even care about this internet backwater? Get real.
Have you tried not being an authoritarian PoS, Xi?
Dictators were never good at hearing the truth.
Easy fix: don’t be a dictator.
How can he stop being something that he’s already not?
Someone who jails people over depicting them in a mocking way is a dictator.
Someone who bans historic events and pretends they never happened is a dictator.
I disagree with some of Scholz’s policies, but he is kind of a breath of fresh air. Merkel was a great leader, but she played it far too safe.
Germany is right
You could even say, it is far-right.
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, there’s a high probability it is a duck.
He’s not just a dictator, he’s also a dick.
What’s he going to do? Fling his pooh?
Quit being a dictator. 🤷
When the shoe fits, start wearing it. PRC is an authoritarian state led by a dictator and his cronies.
Don’t you guys run the largest network of slave camps in the world? Yes you do!
It’s spelt Uyghurs, not you guys.
No. You guys call them negroes.
Fact is, your shithole failed state has 20% of the world’s prison population, mostly black.
Don’t get sick y’all. Might mean your life.
Try “Emperor” they’ll like that.
The only empire is the US empire and the way they talk about themselves as an empire, they’re proud of it too. Yell one-word feel-good slogans at them like “CHANGE”, “FREEDOM”, or “DEMOCRACY” and all the citizens shout and cheer because that’s what they’ve always been told to do.
Try sitting during the pledge, the singing of the national anthem, or insulting the military. The US empire will have none of that. Truly the land of the free.
Do remember that the same Baerbock said that we (Germany/…) are at war with Russia.
She’s not exactly known for being a smart person in Germany. Whoever thought she had what it takes to be a diplomat was clearly deluded. She only got the job as foreign minister because of proportional representation.
Do they know healthy communication can gain a better impression and often less problematic, another boundaries and relationship course, thanks
Like with Russia? Yes, I guess they learned the lesson. Fuck dictators.
Obviously he’s not a “dictator”, and that foreign minister should be sacked. Because Xi is a “supreme almighty emperor whose words are worth to be enforced or else…” A bit of background knowledge is never a bad thing.
Where’s the quote from?
My racing brain.
Thought so. Good of you to admit it loser.
Do you think it’s OK to call names to a neurodivergent person (ADHD/ASD)?
What kind of names?
You called me “loser”. While that can seem innocent to a neurotypical, it’s devastating to a neurodivergent.
Okay loser. So what?
In China, the people directly elect local council (e.g. village or town level) representatives. Those local council members than select who among themselves to send to represent them at the next level above. This continues all the way the National People’s Congress and the Standing Committee.
This sort of organizational structure is more-or-less how political parties in Germany also work; so by that logic the Green party itself would presumably be an undemocratic institution.
OK, but the CPC can control who is allowed to run in elections, right? Well, Germany banned its communist party: In Germany, any organization (and their members) that wants to abolish the liberal order, capitalism, private property and so on is subject to repression, surveillance and outright bans, and this is enshrined in the constitution. So no fundamental difference there either: In Germany the liberal institutions decide who can and cannot run, and they have decided the commies are out.
Empirically, the Chinese government enjoys way better approval rating than any Western government, Chinese people believe themselves to be living in a democracy, and the Chinese administration seems way more responsive to the actual needs of the people, what with the poverty reduction and all. How is this possible if they’re so much more undemocratic than Western liberal democracies?
Well I think the issue is the people in China haven’t experienced the democracy in US so the comparison would be hard to measure. As funny as it gets the people in the US can laugh at Joe Biden but not those in China that could laugh at president Xi.
A note accompanying the poll results offers a disclaimer, stating that “in authoritarian countries, positive perceptions might result from different conceptions of democracy, high levels of government satisfaction, or fear of speaking out against the government.”
I think the issue is the people in China haven’t experienced the democracy in US
Don’t worry, the Americans haven’t either.
