Chinese culture is actually very old school, akin to the paterfamilias vendettas of Ancient Rome. The right of vengeance is lauded still in Chinese society compared to the slave morality of western values which inculcates a slave mindset amongst its people to maintain its feudal power structure.
Are they trying to wegde the 2?
Chauvinism is always a bad idea. It advocates for overreach, and fosters unhealthy attitudes. Hell, it's basically the disease that infected the Americans, and I'd much rather it doesn't happen to China.
It feels like there's been a concerted effort to do that but it's pretty useless. Russia absolutely needs China if they want to continue fighting Ukraine, and China is way better off with a strong Russia kicking around. It almost feels like they're just saying things that their audience wants to hear again.
Case in point, the debacle over the K-Visa. It's not even a "smart policy" ala 4d chess move, its just a pure logical reaction to America closing its doors off to skilled immigration that even Canada and the EU are exploiting. And it's a policy that will be pursued regardless of how much scaremongering ultranationalists peddle online about Beijing becoming 50% Indian in the future and Tiannamen Square becoming a giant Friday night Bhangra dance floor. (Although Douyin vids of public space dance offs between Indian expats and Chinese aunties sounds kinda lit, not going to lie lol)
You ever seen a man's final moments when his gun's out of bullets, his knife is snapped in half, his leg is broken from a fall and he's trapped in a dead end with a grizzly bear closing in on him? He doesn't do many useful things at that point but he does try many things, or rather, the same useless things many times. This is the nation version of that.
Like I said. The policy's intention has nothing really wrong. Its just the execution of it.
I call BS. You don’t have to be Indian to be pro India
I'm agree. Also he's right.
Chauvinism is normal human behavior. Common enemies made nation united and people motivated
I support the underdog just like I supported China during its early days of industrialization.
