Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description

When you change the rules so you can hold office longer than permitted in an authoritarian country that is an appropriate label for the dictator.

Very noticeable that they didn't specify how he wasn't a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.

Whatcha gonna do, China? That's right, nothing. Stay mad forever 😂

We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two

• Germany, probably

I love how every single comment making fun Xi the pooh here is getting downvoted lol

Well that just goes to prove her point. Well done, Xi.

When the shoe fits, start wearing it. PRC is an authoritarian state led by a dictator and his cronies.

Easy fix: don't be a dictator.

Germany is right

Most dictators haven't gone by that term, preferring instead some other executive role like chairman, supreme leader, or president. If Xi doesn't want to be called a dictator, maybe China should start holding open elections, see how popular the CCP really is.

Oh-oh here Xi comes

Watch out boy, Xi'll chew you up

Oh-oh here Xi comes

Xi's a man eater

Oh bother!

If any country knows what a dictator is, it's Germany.

Dictators were never good at hearing the truth.

Quit being a dictator. 🤷

Obviously he's not a "dictator", and that foreign minister should be sacked. Because Xi is a "supreme almighty emperor whose words are worth to be enforced or else..." A bit of background knowledge is never a bad thing.

The same government that presented another deal so good you couldn't refuse!

Have you tried not being an authoritarian PoS, Xi?

Another Germany W

"Dictator" is such an ugly word. I prefer "Tyrant." It's much more damning.

Well, China can go fuck itself, and take Russia and the US with it.

Pooh is big mad

Almost time for their final warning!

Aww, somebody hurt Winnie the Pooh’s feelings.

Try "Emperor" they'll like that.

Oh bother

He's not just a dictator, he's also a dick.

What's he going to do? Fling his pooh?

It'd be funny if he called him "Winnie the pooh" when he meets him to explain himself :)

Xi said that he'd start executing German tourists if they didn't take it back

Their unhealthy coping mechanism is making it worse obviously

Xi: I really resemble that remark!

This is hilarious

Pooh Bear is going to send out another final warning again. China loves those final warnings.

Can we say what a laugh of a minute he is

Omfg made my day

Do remember that the same Baerbock said that we (Germany/…) are at war with Russia.

If it whines like a goose and goose-steps like a... goose... then maybe it's a goose.

In China, the people directly elect local council (e.g. village or town level) representatives. Those local council members than select who among themselves to send to represent them at the next level above. This continues all the way the National People's Congress and the Standing Committee.

This sort of organizational structure is more-or-less how political parties in Germany also work; so by that logic the Green party itself would presumably be an undemocratic institution.

OK, but the CPC can control who is allowed to run in elections, right? Well, Germany banned its communist party: In Germany, any organization (and their members) that wants to abolish the liberal order, capitalism, private property and so on is subject to repression, surveillance and outright bans, and this is enshrined in the constitution. So no fundamental difference there either: In Germany the liberal institutions decide who can and cannot run, and they have decided the commies are out.

Empirically, the Chinese government enjoys way better approval rating than any Western government, Chinese people believe themselves to be living in a democracy, and the Chinese administration seems way more responsive to the actual needs of the people, what with the poverty reduction and all. How is this possible if they're so much more undemocratic than Western liberal democracies?

Germany is over which sea from China? Is the middle east a sea now? Ffs global warming.

Apparently he doesn't have a butthole because he's perfect.

West Taiwan -100000 social credit DAE Xinnie? XD

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, there’s a high probability it is a duck.

If you complain about people calling you a dictator means that you're fully aware that you are a dictator.

Good old Ski Ski Spring.

You said it queen 😍

I disagree with some of Scholz's policies, but he is kind of a breath of fresh air. Merkel was a great leader, but she played it far too safe.

Berlin, USA puppet, calling China bad? I am surprised, bazinga! Unexpected and flabbergasted, even!

Another country

Oh, wonder who's said that.

Germany

Oh so literally no one new. Just another American lapdog.

“The remarks made by Germany are extremely absurd, seriously infringe on China’s political dignity, and are an open political provocation,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular news briefing on Monday.

Because everybody thinks this is because she called Xi a Dictator - is there any proof, that this is really the case? I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find anything. I think the problem is her whole statement and not just calling Xi a dictator. I would be very very happy if anybody can give me a source for this. I would like to read the whole context and not just one sentence with nothing in it.

Don't downvote me, just give me a source. Thx.

Do they know healthy communication can gain a better impression and often less problematic, another boundaries and relationship course, thanks

Antagonizing China while going into a recession is a really bold move by Germany. I guess that's what you get when you put opportunists in charge of running a country.

How surprising, an American satellite state is following American foreign interests
