Not all are from diplomats but they are widespread general cringe at least in English.


bad vs better

Socialism with Chinese characteristics vs American dream

You have hurt the feelings of the Chinese people vs they are threatening our national security

The Chinese side urges America to please correct their wrong actions vs American belligerence, American coercion, American diktats

hostile foreign forces vs Western Trojan horse such as....CIA, NED, etc

America has politicized the coronavirus vs That is American coronavirus propaganda

Lab Leak Theory vs that is American coronavirus propaganda

Taiwanese independence forces vs they are violent domestic terrorists, separatists, extremists, radicals

Taiwan should stop relying on American protection vs America's scheme to keep China divided, American plan to destabilize the region or American's scheme to balkanize China, America is prolonging the Chinese civil war, America is interfering in China's unfinished civil war

Australia is the chewing gum stuck on the sole of our shoes vs the Australian threat, Australia's trade war, Australian interference

Century of humiliation or Century of National Shame vs era of Western invasions, Century of Western imperialism, Century of Western Tyranny,

why does the West misunderstand China? vs Western propaganda, Western atrocity propaganda, Western smear campaign

The West is critical of China / criticized China vs The West's smear campaign, disinformation campaign, anti China state propaganda

Imperial China vs name of Chinese dynasty, ancient China

long arm jurisdiction vs American economic warfare, American abductions, American kidnapping, Americancoercion, Western sore loser diplomacy

calling Western low skill parasites expats vs migrants, foreigners

factory of the world vs manufacturing or industrial powerhouse/juggernaut/colossus, world's industrial engine, heart of the world's economy

the Chinese people of all nationalities will continue to adhere to the people’s democratic dictatorship vs the people's party, will serve the people, the people's government







Chinese media is so incompetence that they routinely repeat western propaganda phrases.

Liberal democracy vs western oligarchies, fake western democracies

American intervention vs American meddling, American interference, the American threat, American invasion, American war of aggression

American exceptionalism vs American hypocrisy

regime change or color revolution vs overthrowing foreign governments, toppling the democracy, toppling the democratically elected government

sanctions vs starving families to death, starve the government into submission

Liberal rules based international order or White savior complex, messianic impulse, etc vs western tyranny, western klansmen order, western totalitarianism, western feudal order, western neo imperialist order

ngo vs it is another Western Trojan horse, it is another CIA front

Words matter because they have the power to greatly alter perception of reality. Anyone looking at this list who still denies there is a problem is basically coping and lying to themselves.

But they use some of this terminology already, especially after the diplomatic reforms in the Xi administration which saw the rise of Wang Yi, Zhao Lijian and Hua Chunying, among others.

I haven't seen "hurt the feelings of the Chinese people", use of the term "misunderstanding" except in conjunction with "miscalculation" which is much harder, or any of those softer terms in years. There was never a use of "rules based international order" except when actually quoting the US saying that, and always adding "so called". The Australia statement had the desired effect of escalating tensions.

the biggest difference between pre reform and post reform Chinese diplomacy is that they learned from the US that escalating tensions is a useful tool. Diplomats aren't only for solving problems, they can also be used to create artificial, controlled problems and crises that can then be solved in beneficial ways.

what I hope to see is that Chinese diplomats continue this trend of using carefully calibrated crises to force enemies into no win situations, which is a skill certain countries have mastered.

You really have to draw a line between pre reform (Deng era) diplomats and the new guys.

First all, who? And second of all, if Biden wanted China to help the USA in regards to their inflation and economic problems, well now they have proven themselves to be beyond redemption and thus nothing short of Pelosi being impeached and left to die in prison for this fu@k up is going to remote cut it 1%. Congrats USA, you have short yourself in the ding ding yet again, may your collapse be as devastating and horrific as possible because the nation simply has no honor

IMO that's worse than doing nothing. It's like the PLAAF is giving Pelosi a VIP diplomatic escort into Taiwan airspace then have to retreat afterwards.

Exactly. As I’ve said before it is actually a bigger propaganda boon if they sent intercepting planes but still allow her to land. It adds a danger angle to the whole thing. If you scramble planes, you make sure she could be diverted or not at all.

Taiwan scrambled planes as well. Are you saying China should engaged ROC planes as well as Pelosi's?

How would that have made the situation any better?
