Too bad he wiped most of his pre-2021 tweets. After a few pointed questions I apparently pushed him far enough that he resorted to physical threats and a block. Classic. The man is genuinely talented at one thing: manufacturing low-stakes “debates” on China that make him look like the only adult in the room for foreigners hungry for a (much-needed) alternative narrative. Somehow he always ends up being right, always pure Arnaudsplaining 🤦🏻‍♂️ He doesn’t even speak Chinese, yet he’s mastered the official mainland playbook better than most actual Chinese state media writers. It’s particularly rich watching him get showered with praise by mainland accounts whose main activity on X is scrolling banned content. Nothing like consuming something forbidden back home and then thanking the government that bans it, via a Westerner who doesn’t even speak the language. Arnaud as guilt-relief service for typical Chinese users of X 😂
