Some Quotes :

“The alternative to a rules-based order is a world in which might makes right and winner takes all and that would be a far more violent and unstable world,” Blinken said.

The Chinese fired back. Yang Jiechi, a member of the Politburo, offered a lengthy monologue in which he said Western nations don’t represent global public opinion and called the U.S. the “champion” of cyber-attacks.

“Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States,” he said, citing the killing of Black Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement. Near the end of his opening remarks, he said Blinken’s comments weren’t “normal” and added that in response “mine aren’t either.”

Things only got worse from there. Cameras were ushered from the room, only to be called back in. Yang and Foreign Minister Wang Yi took the opportunity to follow up with even more criticism. “Is that the way you had hoped to conduct this dialogue?” Yang asked, according to his delegation’s translator. “I think we thought too well of the United States. The United States isn’t qualified to speak to China from a position of strength.”

    Look, when terms are in common usage, that's what they mean. Especially neologisms like baizuo. And you just make up words when it suits you? OK I get what's going on here.

      Just because a word is in common usage among one group doesn't prevent it from taking another meaning in another group. The word "leftist" takes on a complete different meaning with their own connotations among communists and among Qanon cultists. That was the message I tried (and clearly failed) to convey in my original reply. And it's not "making up words" when I add a character "Bai" to the word "Guizi" to specify what kind of Guizi I'm talking about. I have not invented new characters, I have not tried to create a new meaning through the combination of two or more characters, all I've done is used a character to extend and clarify a widely understood word to specify what I mean by it.

      Like for fucksakes, what's got you so aggressive about all of this? Whats your deal? I just came to clarify that I had a different experience with the word Baizuo and inferred a different meaning from it and here you are attacking my credibility as a Chinese person. Why don't you go lie down, logout and reduce your bloodpressure.

        If you're gonna invent a private patois that only you and your friends understand, don't be surprised when you use it in public and people have no idea what you're talking about.

          A private patois? That's just how the word is used in the online english Chinese leftist community. I'm literally explaning what the word means in that specific community, and you understood exactly who Chicom refers to. Get your head out of your ass.
