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
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.
Here’s a little something for the dictator simps:
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.”

Don’t worry, the Americans haven’t either.
This is a weak argument.
I was not aware that term length was the method by which a dictatorship was determined. (Hint : It is not) In a democratic country, keep the people happy, stay in power. Is that how China works?
I could speak more on this but I will match your low effort and pause there.

Yes it is, here’s a Harvard Ash Center study proving it:
https://ash.harvard.edu/files/ash/files/final_policy_brief_7.6.2020.pdf
The survey team found that compared to public opinion patterns in the U.S., in China there was very high satisfaction with the central government. In 2016, the last year the survey was conducted, 95.5 percent of respondents were either “relatively satisfied” or “highly satisfied” with Beijing. In contrast to these findings, Gallup reported in January of this year that their latest polling on U.S. citizen satisfaction with the American federal government revealed only 38 percent of respondents were satisfied with the federal government.

I’d rather not read any more stupid comments from smug and uninformed liberals like you in my inbox, thanks for the favor.
This is clearly troll, but let’s play. Why not.
Let’s first recall the initial assertion, readers please keep it in mind, (Image asserting dictatorship among western politicians)
Let’s see what conversational traps the troll uses.
- “Proves” China is happy. Let’s assume their proof is valid to save time. Pause, revisit initial point, is it related? Doesn’t seem to be. Alright let’s continue.
- Asserts I am liberal? Odd, seems related to nothing. None of the topics seems attached to this assertion. Let’s continue.
End of post, so let’s revisit, has the responder provided anything of value on the topic (recalling that this is a topic that they initialized). Well, no.
2/10 troll. Mildly entertaining though. I’m glad they posted, its a good education for people to see common tactics used by time vampires. Have a nice day troll or trollbot.
The irony of calling me a troll while at the same time dismissing a study you haven’t read to attack my character. Please keep your word and stick to just one low effort reply here, I don’t think anyone needs to read you embarrass yourself any further.
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.
You said it queen 😍
Another country
Oh, wonder who’s said that.
Germany
Oh so literally no one new. Just another American lapdog.
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.
Whatcha gonna do, China? That’s right, nothing. Stay mad forever 😂
Haha, racism! I love that one!
Whatcha gonna do, China? That’s right, nothing.
What is there to do when you are already the one winning?
Mocking a single individual is not racism.
It may be bullying, but that is about it.
Jesus, just open KKK on here. Americans are truly the scum of the earth.
Xi is so fat he is his own race 🤣😂
Is this com full of pre-teens?
So yes.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, there’s a high probability it is a duck.
How surprising, an American satellite state is following American foreign interests
They willingly let America kneecap them by helping them blow up Nordstream so it’s nothing out of the left field.
You people sound fucking more and more retarded every single day
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.
Xi said that he’d start executing German tourists if they didn’t take it back
whoa, got a source on that?
