Greta is just a child still. With some potentially nefarious handlers but states certainly at least should just ignore her and definitely refrain from "talking back" at her.
Exactly. There's nothing to be gained from engaging, denigrating any child regardless of their political stance unless the child itself is outright voicing and calling for violence then it's whipping time.

Greta reminds me of Kuwaiti Ambassador Saud Al-Sabah who used his own daughter, Nayirah, to convince the US Congress to wage war against Iraq back in 1992. Nayirah falsely claimed that she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of their incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, remove the incubators, and left the babies to die.

This is a very dense article.

There was this theory, from the literary world, Derrida was the proponent of his theory of deconstructionism.

I never learned it, but the prof mentioned it a few times in literature class, and the mere idea stuck in my mind all these decades.

To generalize the article it appears the Chinese prof is saying that technology has changed the media landscape, which has lead to a deconstructionist free-for-all.

That I agree.

Nothing cures hubris than having to experience humiliation and defeat. America has yet to taste one and in my opinion it's due for one. The rest of the world’s belligerent and dismissive attitude towards China and tbh to most Chinese will gradually dissipate just in time for others to accept that Asians/Chinese are just as welcome to chart it's own path free from the meddling rigid ways of the west.
