China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD
The far-right populist Alternative for Germany party rejects a values-based foreign policy, just as much as it rejects NATO and the US. That approach has attracted the attention of Beijing.
You're viewing part of a thread.
(Taiwan's is, it showcases a viable alternative to the CPC)
Throwing chairs at each other in the Legislative Yuan over who gets to be America's most loyal running dog isn't seen by anyone thing China as a viable alternative to governance.
It's ok, Hu Jintao really didn't mind being dragged off the stage like an idiot in a country where face is everything. China does settle fistfights in private, which does set a good example for the populace, ngl.
PS: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9D%A2%E5%AD%90:
面子是人際關係中的一种现象，在東方等级观念较强的社会（如中國等）特別受到重視。具体定义不明，基本上意味给社会中每个人的尊重[1][2]。如果不给人面子，即是拆穿別人的面具，可能会引起报复。如果有面子，一般会被认为是社会地位较高，更受人尊敬，然而面子不够大，可能是因为在社会、经济等方面地位低下。“面子”是“社会脸面”，代表着个人在人生历程中由成就和夸耀所获得的名声以及被社会重视的声誉[3]。「厚顏」俗稱「不要臉」。
Aside from the racism of the "face culture" narrative, the guy is a dinosaur and notably not an official, just there as a matter of respect and legacy as a former President. We don't really know what happened, but those meetings are long and the dude is probably senile, so he was probably getting helped off the stage by aides at around the time they expected from the outset.
Lol Hu is 80 years young, just like our boy
Seriously, China caring enough for their elders that they don't want them shitting their pants on live television is apparently genocide now
in a country where face is everything
In America no one cares about being embarrassed, that's only compatible with the Asiatic brainpan!
Toss Orientalism on your reading list:
The term orientalism denotes the exaggeration of difference, the presumption of Western superiority, and the application of clichéd analytical models for perceiving the "Oriental world".
Look, if I find it disrespectful and a scandal to watch that video, I assume that anybody who tends to value and respect the position, wisdom of their elders in an institution (more than us who throw them in nursing homes and ignore them forever) will find this pretty jarring for a well-functioning Chinese democracy.
But you guys are hilarious, finding offense where none was given, you're an amazing instance, I want you to know that, from the bottom of my heart.
I'd say your ignorance and racism are funny but na, nothing funny about you
Just pathetic
You're a child
Somos todos, caralho, se a nossa alma ainda não estiver morta.
Es portugues ou brasileiro? Tou memo a ver que deves ser um daqueles "comunistas" anti-comunista se fores portugues
treated like an idiot in a country where face is everything.
哇，你真懂中国文化。只有我们中国人不喜欢丢脸，不像那些外国政治者。他们热爱在大家面前受困窘。
Muh face
Did that sound like a thing that wasn't wildly rascist when you wrote it? You can delete your comment. You simply can choose not to be rascist, it doesn't cost you anything.
