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.
“Dictator” is such an ugly word. I prefer “Tyrant.” It’s much more damning.
Almost time for their final warning!
Well that just goes to prove her point. Well done, Xi.
Overacting insecure jerk what Xi is
I don’t think any country would like their head of state be called a dictator.
Except maybe Rome
And yet normal, functioning countries don’t lash out like this.
Isn’t your president a paedophile?
No, we voted for the older guy this time.
When you change the rules so you can hold office longer than permitted in an authoritarian country that is an appropriate label for the dictator.
hexbear disagrees
Then it must be true
that bunch of larping teens?
The very same!
hexbears are trolls, they would disagree even if it killed their mother.
removed by mod
Nobody gives a single fuck though because it’s hex bear
Yep and other rules
Germany is right
You could even say, it is far-right.
Another Germany W
Now they have (at least) two W’s on their account
And some say there were two WWs on their account
Neither of which gave them a W though.
Yet somehow it still resulted in W Germany.
Damn, they’re good
Omfg made my day
Their unhealthy coping mechanism is making it worse obviously
Dictators were never good at hearing the truth.
Berlin, USA puppet, calling China bad? I am surprised, bazinga! Unexpected and flabbergasted, even!
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.
I actually agree with this, it’s counterproductive, but Germany is a little sensitive right now because their car industry can’t compete with subsidized Chinese electric cars (dumping actually), so :3
China is committing a genocide. We need to clearly address as what it is and stop being dependent on it.
If it whines like a goose and goose-steps like a… goose… then maybe it’s a goose.
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.
Open elections when there is only one party in practice are moot
You got to choose between Hoe Biden and Donald Trump last time. Get back in your box.
Most dictators haven’t gone by that term, preferring instead some other executive role like chairman, supreme leader, or president.
Don’t forget Führer
Maybe he would prefer, as you say, an alternative executive role and the ego-soothing title that accompanies it? Supreme Pooh has a really nice ring.
Most forced elections haven’t gone by that term, preferring instead some other description like people’s elections, free elections, or secured elections. Made up words but you get the idea.
Pooh Bear is going to send out another final warning again. China loves those final warnings.
Xi: I really resemble that remark!
