{But the tweet, posted by a diplomat named Zhao Lijian, represented a different kind of aggression. “Shocked by murder of Afghan civilians & prisoners by Australian soldiers,” he wrote. “We strongly condemn such acts, & call for holding them accountable.” Attached was a digital illustration of an Australian soldier restraining an Afghan child with a large Australian flag while preparing to slit the boy’s throat. “Don’t be afraid,” the caption read, “we are coming to bring you peace!” When the tweet appeared online that morning, there were audible gasps in Australia’s Parliament House.}
Zhao is only telling the truth to the world. Why should the Australiars feel offended?
To Palmer, a white soldier slitting an Afghan boy's throat is not aggression but a Chinese condemning a white man slitting a boy's throat is an act of "aggression"!!! This shows how maniacally twisted the mind of this white Palmer guy is.
{Zhao had already made headlines once before, for a tweet in the early days of the pandemic in which he floated a conspiracy theory that the virus originated in the United States. “When did patient zero begin in US?” Zhao wrote. “How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!” That time, the United States State Department summoned the Chinese ambassador to protest the accusation.}
murrika has a history of spreading killer diseases around the world. Before Covid 19, there was AIDS (Amelikan Insidious Disease Syndrome). There was nothing Spanish about the "Spanish flu" either. Before that there was well-documented evidence that the Brits and murrkans deliberated spread small-pox to the native Americans in order to kill them off.
{... Less than two hours after Zhao’s post, Morrison was on television delivering a live address from his residence. He denounced the “truly repugnant” tweet and asked for an apology from the Chinese government. “The Chinese government should be totally ashamed of this post,” Morrison said. “It diminishes them in the world’s eyes.”}
What is truly repugnant is the shameless display of racial solidarity with murrika and ganging up on China and insinuating China for murrika's fault of seeding Covid 19 at Wuhan, which was done in order to hurt China.
{.. Rory Medcalf, head of the National Security College at the Australian National University and author of “Indo-Pacific Empire,” said that Australia is something of a diplomatic proving ground for China: a liberal democracy and American ally that, despite its middle-power status, is stymieing China’s efforts to dominate the region. “China has been making an example of the country that’s setting an example for pushing back,” he said.}
Thief calling "thief"! It is murrika, together with its "Deputy Sherriff in Asia", who have been dominating the Asian region. Therefore, it is China that is now doing the pushing back-- not murrika and its racial partners.
"America's Deputy Sheriff in Asia" became a "diplomatic proving ground" because it had made itself into a "diplomatic proving ground" for insinuating China for spreading Covid 19-- on behalf of its like-race "Sheriff of the World," whose aim is always to "dominate" the entire world. That domination of the world is now being "stymied" by the rise and rise of China, and hence the racial gang-up against it by murrika and its like-race partners.
{But in fact his influence has been immense. Despite being almost entirely unknown, even in China, until two years ago, Zhao has managed to rapidly and completely transform how China communicates with its allies and adversaries. His unbridled style of online rhetoric has spread throughout the Chinese diplomatic corps, replacing the turgid mix of evasive diplomatese and abstruse Communist jargon that characterized the nation’s public statements for decades.}
It is the whites' turn to take it from others. Get used to it. Why should the Chinese continue to take abuses from the whites? The white West automatically loses its right to hand out abuses when it loses "its superiority in applying organized violence."
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion […] but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.”― Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order
{At first, Zhao was seemingly on his own, wielding Twitter as his personal cudgel while only a small number of other Chinese diplomats were even on the platform. As his bosses and colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs churned out bland statements about “win-win cooperation” and building a “community of shared future for mankind,” Zhao attacked detractors with an almost savage glee: Criticisms of China were “dirty lies,” and a foreign official whom Zhao disagreed with was “a person without soul and nationality.”}
Now, some Chinese know how to Retaliate in Kind. The whites have to endure being talked back at! The whities, who have got used to talking down to the Chinese, are now shocked that the Chinese are TALKING BACK!!! Deal with it!
{The subtlety was sometimes by design. As the Cold War winding down, China found itself facing enormous international backlash to the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Recognizing this as a danger to his plans for modernization, Deng Xiaoping, the paramount leader of the post-Mao era, put forward a maxim to guide the country’s foreign policy. “Observe calmly, secure our position, keep a cool head, hide our light and bide our time, maintain a low profile and never claim leadership,” Deng said — which was eventually boiled down to simply “hide and bide.”}
That was then. Time does not stand still.
{The strategy of “hide and bide” began to unravel in the first decade of the 21st century, thanks in large part to two global shocks initiated by the United States. First was the Iraq War, which showed Chinese leaders an alarming and unexpected side of American power. But the key turning point was the global financial crisis of 2008. If the war in Iraq had struck a blow against the United States’ moral leadership, the financial crisis called into question its basic competence.}
Every dog has its days. The white dogs have had their days.
{... In his book “Dealing With China,” the former Treasury secretary Henry Paulson recalls a meeting in June 2008 with Wang Qishan, a senior Chinese official. “You were my teacher,” Wang said. “Look at your system, Hank. We aren’t sure we should be learning from you anymore.”}
Wang was giving Paulson good advice:
"Why China no longer needs the wisdom of 'white old guys'"
{With Xi’s ascent soon thereafter, the growing rift in bilateral relations became harder to ignore. In areas where the United States had grown used to China’s cooperation or assent, it found instead a recalcitrant, if not yet hostile, rising power. What was still missing, though, was a rhetoric to match. Remarkably, it was Zhao, a relatively junior Chinese diplomat posted to Pakistan and operating mainly on Twitter, who would establish a new model for China’s interaction with the world.}
"The heaven has changed"-- as the Chinese used to say.
{.. If Zhao drew any conclusion from his time in Washington, it was very likely the same one dawning on so many others in both capitals: China had arrived and the era of hide and bide was over.}
Some whities believe that China should be the permanent underdog and can't take the fact that China refuses to play their game anymore.
{A Twitter presence was part of Zhao’s diplomatic persona from the beginning of his posting to Pakistan. But as Zhao became more comfortable, his pace, and especially his tone, began to change. In early July 2016, he posted a flurry of provocative tweets. First was a cartoon caricature of President Obama as Rosie the Riveter, superimposed over a grainy photo of the Capitol Building. “From I have a dream to I have drone,” Zhao captioned it. The next day, he posted a cartoon showing an American missile striking a grave labeled “Afghan Peace Talks,” saying, “Pakistan Minister of Interior Nisar: US droned Afghan peace talks to death.” Zhao was discovering the power of the platform.}
Zhao shows the whites how to swallow their own medicine.
{As Chinese money flowed in and projects got underway — particularly the power plants, which helped ease Pakistan’s incessant rolling blackouts — C.P.E.C. became more and more popular with the Pakistani public. No other country was willing to invest in Pakistan on the scale that China was. “There is a consensus in Pakistan that this C.P.E.C. is a fate-changer project,” Piracha said. “That C.P.E.C. will change the fate of Pakistan and to some extent it has done so.” American diplomats, meanwhile, lambasted C.P.E.C. as a debt trap, even as American aid continued to decline precipitously.}
China wants to help poor countries develop while the white West wants to keep them poor for the simple reason that, if you are poor, it is easy for the West to put you under their thumb.
The whites wish to give pity instead and are very generous when it comes to giving the poor countries, especially the African countries, PITY. I remember that, right after the announcement of the "Band Aid", a tabloid in Britain printed a cartoon in which one African said to another, "We must organize a famine in order to save some aging rock-stars"! Sometimes, it is hard to tell who is saving whom.
{The international environment had also changed. When Zhao arrived in Pakistan, Donald Trump was still months away from winning the New Hampshire primary. Trump’s rise through the spring of 2016 and his election that November signaled that the old rules were gone. “It’s not a coincidence that Zhao’s era traces the Trump era pretty closely,” Small said. “It made things seem possible and acceptable, thanks to the mirroring of the U.S. that goes on in the Chinese side. No one in the Chinese system would’ve been doing this on social media before Trump.” With his rhetoric toward China in particular, Trump created an opening for an equally forceful response. “If the U.S. president says China ‘rapes our country,’ they have a lot of discursive space,” said Julian Gewirtz, a former senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Any lingering international good will or respect for the Obama administration quickly disappeared, especially as Trump stacked his administration with diplomats like Ric Grennell and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who took the State Department’s communications in a distinctly more aggressive direction. “Pompeo said he wanted to bring the swagger back,” Jeffrey A. Bader, a senior director for Asia on the National Security Council under Obama, said. “To me that’s just the English translation of ‘wolf warrior.’” More broadly, the Chinese leadership may simply be taking a cue from the power that it’s aiming to replace. “I think part of it is watching us and learning and modeling themselves on how we behave,” a former Department of Defense official said. “We’re pretty aggressive. Are we wolf warriors? Or is that just the way great powers handle themselves?”}
This is called Retaliation in Kind. Why should the Chinese always have to take the white-Western abuses in silence?
The white West operates a "hyena diplomacy". "Wolf warriors" diplomacy is a very effective antidote to it. Wait until Black Africa gets to the same stage as China has done today. It will make a "lion pride diplomacy" to deal with the white West. We all know how male lions deal with hyenas-- especially when they form a coalition. Like male lions, Black Africans have BIG mouths and LONG canines!!!
{The goal of “national rejuvenation” has been a mainstay in modern Chinese history, dating back at least to the early years of the 20th century. Under Xi, however, it has become the defining narrative of Chinese politics, the summation of all the country’s — and the party’s — efforts to return China to its past greatness...}
murrikans are not the only people who deserve MAGA. Why can't the Chinese have their own “national rejuvenation”?! Some whites still believe that the Chinese are only entitled to be laundrymen!!!
{Eventually, Big Daddy turns on the warlord over his demand that the mercenaries avoid killing Chinese civilians in the country. In the climactic final battle, Leng is locked in brutal hand-to-hand combat with Big Daddy, who pulls Leng close to deliver a message: “People like you will always be inferior to people like me,” he says. “Get used to it. Get [expletive] used to it.” Leng, of course, turns the tables and stabs the American to death. “That’s [expletive] history,” Leng says, just after delivering the fatal blow.}
Leng was not the only one who said so: "The toppling of Edward Colston's statue is not an attack on history. It is history"-- David Olusoga.
"Statues are not history; often they are impediments to truth because they are erected to glorify the powerful as a fig leaf for their flaws and iniquities"
