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.
He’s not just a dictator, he’s also a dick.
What’s he going to do? Fling his pooh?
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.
Dictators were never good at hearing the truth.
Have you tried not being an authoritarian PoS, Xi?
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.
Quit being a dictator. 🤷
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, there’s a high probability it is a duck.
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.
Very noticeable that they didn’t specify how he wasn’t a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.
Hexbear users incoming in 3.2.1…
I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.
Never hear a dissenting opinion. I’ll take, what is an echo chamber for $200.
Have you ever bothered to read the rules of your instance? If I go on there and say anything negative about your cute dictator I’ll be banned. However, you can freely go on our greedy capitalist instances and praise your teddy bear as much as you want. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I guess your mind can’t comprehend being free.
Do you mean the rule about not being Sinophobic? Is that really a hard rule for you to follow? I like to look at objective reality instead of just barking the same nonsensical shibboleths when the topic of China arises.
No capitalist apologia / anti-communism
You would whine even harder if lemmy.ml had
No communist apologia / anti-capitalismin their rules.Most anti-communism has no basis in reality and often are myths perpetuated by state agencies. All Anti-Capitalist sentiment is rooted in the material realities of our world and life. To deny socialist historical reality is to deny your own history, and ultimately is an admission of your disingenuous support of the truth.
Historical Materialism is truth seeking in practice. It requires you to have a fact based, objective view of our past and present.
Also I don’t know why I would whine, because I’m not using lemmy.ml. That instance can have whatever rules they want. I wouldn’t block or defederate from them because of it either. But if you are not interested in seeking the truth and objectively observing reality, then I guess you can insolate yourself from it and keep your echos.
“I am not a dictator! Anyone who says I am will get jailed!” - Grand Poohbear of China, 2023
Because he was democratically elected in a transparent election. Unlike the current American demented imbecile.
What are you talking about? He doesn’t hold elected office. Here’s the last time he was re-appointed to his appointed position.
Even your link to the fucking guardian says he was elected fair and square. Unlike Jim Crow Joe.
from your link:
“I was reelected as the general secretary of the CPC central committee,” Xi said in opening remarks, before presenting the six other members: Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi.
Well that just goes to prove her point. Well done, Xi.
I don’t think any country would like their head of state be called a dictator.
And yet normal, functioning countries don’t lash out like this.
Isn’t your president a paedophile?
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?
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.
Xi said that he’d start executing German tourists if they didn’t take it back
whoa, got a source on that?
Most dictators haven’t gone by that term, preferring instead some other executive role like chairman, supreme leader, or president. If Xi doesn’t want to be called a dictator, maybe China should start holding open elections, see how popular the CCP really is.
The CCP has higher approval rates than western governments and the vast majority of Chinese believe they are living in a democracy. This is confirmed by western studies; latest one I’ve seen was from Harvard.
The CCP does not have confidence in that though, hence the way it runs the elections there.
I’d say that it has confidence in that, but their elections and government are structured in a different way.
Just like Ford sold their cars in any colour you want, so long as it is black.
If 95% of ford owners were satisfied with their black cars, vs 40% for another manufacturer that provides cars in multiple colors, then ford would be the better manufacturer.
You got to choose between Hoe Biden and Donald Trump last time. Get back in your box.
