I've been saying all along—this idiot doesn't give a damn about Chinese interests, Chinese values, Chinese culture, or Chinese everything. He's only obsessed with his own self-righteous moral crusade. And clearly, he fundamentally despises and looks down on China. That's why he doesn't care. But he's not blind—he can see China's undeniable strength, and he knows damn well that on this planet, only China has the ability to meets his appetites.
But here's the thing—we Chinese couldn't care less about what you think either. We don't care about your vendettas, your wars, or whether you're Jewish or anti-Jewish........ whatever, we don't care! You want China to pay the price to satisfy your appetites? Sorry, a few days ago when I was traveling in Guizhou, there was a monkey squatting by the roadside, reaching out for the crackers in my hand. I didn't meet its appetites neither.
As a Chinese person, I certainly don't want to see Europeans all installing air conditioners. If all 500+ million people across Europe ran AC and lived the way folks do in China, it would spell real trouble for our planet.
Moreover, just as Europeans don't want to see modernization in China's Tibet and Xinjiang, claiming it destroys the culture of local ethnic minorities, we Chinese feel the same way — we don't like seeing modern technologies, such as AC, destroy Europe's primitive way of life. It's an assault on Europe's indigenous culture. We Chinese must speak up for the preservation of European traditions, and never allow modern technology to wipe out Europe's backward but beautiful cultures.
While everyone else came to Beijing to meet with Xi, Xi will go to North Korea to meet Kim.
Kim Jong-un, in my impression, is the only player in the past decade to force China into a concession in major-power geopolitical games. By bringing North Korea and the United States close to a deal during Trump's first term, Kim created strategic pressure on China, ultimately compelling China to effectively accept North Korea's status as a nuclear power — even though China still verbally insists on the "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." Now, Kim is once again leveraging the North Korea-Russia alliance, and even the sacrifice of thousands of North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia, to force China to pay serious attention to Pyongyang.
Many small countries, for example Vietnam, try to balance between major powers to maximize their own interests, but I believe North Korea is the only one that has truly succeeded. Compared to Kim Jong-un's wisdom and decisiveness, most of the so-called democratic leaders in today's world aren't even fit to tie his shoes.
