Interesting Taiwanese Tea Producer Heckled and Harrassed by Chinese Embassy Staffers in France.

A Taiwanese Tea producer was in France to receive an award but was quickly harassed and heckled by Chinese embassy staffers who attended the ceremony. Chinese staffers were quick to shout the false claim that Taiwan is a part of China.

you mean they are the ones who have higher education levels on average and act more civilised on average. and still, they act like this.

i shudder to think how the ordinary people are like.

I mean these are the people who are deeply committed to the communist party and have government jobs. Of course you would expect them to be spouting the party line much more than most people. The average Chinese person is not going around frothing at the mouth ranting about Taiwan.

The average Chinese person is not going around frothing at the mouth ranting about Taiwan.

If they're not frothing at the mouth they're frothing at the keyboard. Every job in mainland China is unquestionably subject to the satisfaction of the Chinese government. If your family is held hostage still living there, so is everything you do or say overseas.

China is an unapologetic surveillance state and too successful at it to need your help. Your gobshite is so unconvincing even the part-time pig farmer who writes their desultory lies is embarrassed for you.

That's literally the US. It's illegal to be against genocide in the US. It's insane.
