Why bother with a one time strike? Does terrorists get a one time strike? Screw those rioters, anyone get caught will get a permanent relocation to a labor camp. If the person is underage, the parents also get that free trip. Only way to get reduced sentence is to rat out someone the police don't already have. If the person is in a position of influence such as teacher or religious person, get double the penalty.
Haha I saw that. The Chinese idiom for being completely defeated andor broken is literally translated as crushed (to powder) bodies and broken bones. It is so frequently used that it does not bring any gruesome imagery or connotation for the Chinese. It also does not, in itself, confer malice, spite or anger as one can say, "My poor brother fell from the 10th floor on his construction job and hit the ground with crushed body and shattered bones." Rather, the emphasis of the idiom is on totality, to be totally broken or defeated. Finally, it doesn't have to refer to a person or living object; it can be used to say that a company is totally in shambles or that the idea of separating China will be completely defeated and broken. Obviously, when translated literally in English, it sounds like Xi is really getting really angry and thinking about medieval ways to kill people, but it's actually quite a normal idiom in Chinese.
It reminds me of the English saying, to 86 something. It is derived from when a gangster orders someone murdered and the body buried 80 miles from civilization and 6 feet under but it can be used colloquially to mean, "forget about it," "totally discard it," or I've heard it commonly used in restaurants in the context of, "We can't serve this terrible meatloaf; 86 it!" If this is not an innocent mistake of Western journalism, then it would be the equivalent of a scenario where the US president says, "Hawaii will always be a part of America; any ideas of separating it are ridiculous and should be 86'd from any UN discussions," and the Chinese media reports that US president declares anyone in support of Hawaiian independence should be murdered and buried 80 miles from civilization and 6 feet under.
I will accuse you of what now? No I won't, far from it. Have you read the things I've written here? I think you have me confused with someone else. >99% of the things I'd like to do to them, that I know they deserve, I cannot write here, or anywhere, lest that the devil may acquire it for use as an operating manual. There is no one in the world as draconian and as harsh as I am when it comes to dealing with traitors attacking patriots; to find someone more than me in this regard is as difficult as creating a number greater than infinity. I will have held nothing in the world or out of this world held back on them as too horrible to use. But I have enough respect and trust in the CCP to not insist that my way is better. I have never advocated for China to act in a way to seek respect from the West; the only way that should be achieved is by becoming overwhelmingly more powerful than they are. I couldn't agree more. And gaining their respect shouldn't even be the goal because that would be putting the Western opinion on a pedestal; the goal should be to have to power to act unimpeded throughout the world for the interests of Chinese people with absolute disregard to any opposition. The side-effect will be Western respect, admiration, reverence, and fear of Chinese power.
