Xi: I really resemble that remark!

Try "Emperor" they'll like that.

If it whines like a goose and goose-steps like a... goose... then maybe it's a goose.

Xi said that he'd start executing German tourists if they didn't take it back

Pooh Bear is going to send out another final warning again. China loves those final warnings.

Aww, somebody hurt Winnie the Pooh’s feelings.

“The remarks made by Germany are extremely absurd, seriously infringe on China’s political dignity, and are an open political provocation,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular news briefing on Monday.

Because everybody thinks this is because she called Xi a Dictator - is there any proof, that this is really the case? I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find anything. I think the problem is her whole statement and not just calling Xi a dictator. I would be very very happy if anybody can give me a source for this. I would like to read the whole context and not just one sentence with nothing in it.

Don't downvote me, just give me a source. Thx.

Their unhealthy coping mechanism is making it worse obviously

If you complain about people calling you a dictator means that you're fully aware that you are a dictator.

Omfg made my day

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?

Can we say what a laugh of a minute he is

Antagonizing China while going into a recession is a really bold move by Germany. I guess that's what you get when you put opportunists in charge of running a country.

This is hilarious

Do they know healthy communication can gain a better impression and often less problematic, another boundaries and relationship course, thanks

Germany is over which sea from China? Is the middle east a sea now? Ffs global warming.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, there’s a high probability it is a duck.
