Another country has called Xi a 'dictator' and China is not happy with that description
China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

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.
hexbear disagrees
Nobody gives a single fuck though because it's hex bear
that bunch of larping teens?
The very same!
Then it must be true
hexbears are trolls, they would disagree even if it killed their mother.
Yep and other rules
Very noticeable that they didn't specify how he wasn't a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.
"I am not a dictator! Anyone who says I am will get jailed!" - Grand Poohbear of China, 2023
Hexbear users incoming in 3.2.1...
I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.
Tell me your wisdom, duck of the lake.
I use a Violentmonkey script to do so
Whats the client?
Sync let's you do it. Also possibly Connect? I forgot the other one, but i think it might be Connect.
Yes, connect lets you block instances, but it still shows that there was a comment there and lets you show it. It's handy to see how much you're blocking.
Kbin allows users to do this (noting kbin isn't a client it's a compatible platform).
Memmy app let’s you do it as well.
I am using Eternity or Voyager, I will be so happy when instance blocking comes to those.
Connect does instance blocking and I think LiftOff does as well.
I just.tried Liftoff and i did not see that option
Give Memmy a try. I switched to it so I could block entire instances. It’s made my feed so much better!
Thanks for the recommendation, but I'm on Android, so I can't use it. On spezit I loved, and supported Infinity, the Infinity fork Eternity is very good. I love having my own colour theme, it's great for qol, and all the other nice features it has.
Sync is an outstanding Lemmy client for Android.
Apologies! I should have mentioned it was for iOS.
No worries at all
Never hear a dissenting opinion. I'll take, what is an echo chamber for $200.
There's differing opinions and then there's just shittalking. When it comes to differing opinions most of Hexbear interactions deliberately (by the admission of their own users) fall under shittalking. They deliberately antagonize and troll anyone with a different opinion because in their mind anyone who doesn't agree with them should be trolled. You don't get differing opinions from Hexbear, you get a bastardization of a differing opinion. One that is different only on the basis them telling you you're wrong, and in most cases even that has to be intuited.
Nobody should wade through shit to get a few nuggets of gold which is why most people just block Hexbear.
Just because they blocked Hexbear doesn't mean they block all the opinions they dislike.
Hexbear is just full of radicals and trolls.
Have you ever bothered to read the rules of your instance? If I go on there and say anything negative about your cute dictator I'll be banned. However, you can freely go on our greedy capitalist instances and praise your teddy bear as much as you want. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I guess your mind can't comprehend being free.
Do you mean the rule about not being Sinophobic? Is that really a hard rule for you to follow? I like to look at objective reality instead of just barking the same nonsensical shibboleths when the topic of China arises.
You would whine even harder if lemmy.ml had
No communist apologia / anti-capitalismin their rules.Most anti-communism has no basis in reality and often are myths perpetuated by state agencies. All Anti-Capitalist sentiment is rooted in the material realities of our world and life. To deny socialist historical reality is to deny your own history, and ultimately is an admission of your disingenuous support of the truth.
Historical Materialism is truth seeking in practice. It requires you to have a fact based, objective view of our past and present.
Also I don't know why I would whine, because I'm not using lemmy.ml. That instance can have whatever rules they want. I wouldn't block or defederate from them because of it either. But if you are not interested in seeking the truth and objectively observing reality, then I guess you can insolate yourself from it and keep your echos.
Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won't be able to see this post.
But they have posted to .ml which is federated with hexbear. So the poster's instance needs to be federated no the instance of the community where the post is?
You need both. For a comment you even need the community instance, the poster instance, and the commenter instance to all be federated
That’s confusing.
Basically, everybody needs to agree before access is granted.
It is the best way to block spammers and trolls.
Maybe she should've used the chinese word for dictator.
Ah yes, Xi Jinping
That's exactly like his name!
Ah yes, Xi Jinping
*Winnie the Pooh
Because he was democratically elected in a transparent election. Unlike the current American demented imbecile.
What are you talking about? He doesn't hold elected office. Here's the last time he was re-appointed to his appointed position.
Even your link to the fucking guardian says he was elected fair and square. Unlike Jim Crow Joe.
Lol he was elected by the party, not the people, in what amounts to a loyalty test.
That's how parliament works in the UK. Bunch of dictators over there in the Queen's England.
In the UK there are multiple political parties.
And look how well that's going for them.
Ah yes, because they are all very different and diverse and definitely don't kowtow to the same political group. A wolf in a different hat is still a wolf.
Sounds like the electoral college
Sounds like you need to take a civics class
That won't change the amount of presidents we've sworn in that didn't have a majority of the people's votes
Remember when the people of the USA chose to vote for one of two white supremacists?
Lol, neither do I, then the feds rigged the election anyway.
What?
Yeah they don't tell you much about what's going on in your police state do they? The feds paid a visit around to all the social media giants and forced them to censor negative news about paedo Joe. This is well known outside your prison state.

Omg you people are insufferable.
Suffer.
Whatcha gonna do, China? That's right, nothing. Stay mad forever 😂
He's gonna cope...and seethe.
Mald? What's that?
Being so mad and triggered that you begin to bald.
Hahahahahahahhahaha
lucky your not a German ambassador! they would summon you for a "dressing down"
Haha, racism! I love that one!
What is there to do when you are already the one winning?
Mocking a single individual is not racism.
It may be bullying, but that is about it.
I'm an American so I can answer this question sincerely. When you are already the one winning, you work as hard as ever to keep winning. You innovate more. This is the American way. It's why we're the most advanced country on the planet, and it's how we maintain that lead. Building off of the work of previous generations who made and did amazing things. That's our approach and it works fucking awesome.
Jesus, just open KKK on here. Americans are truly the scum of the earth.
Famously, one of the worst atrocities of the KKK was posting memes of a chinese dictator
your fee fees get hurt?
Xi is so fat he is his own race 🤣😂
Is this com full of pre-teens?
So yes.

Well you can fuck right off! The same person *supposedly upset about the KKK just discriminated against 330,000,000 people from every country on Earth in the very next breath. You're worse than racist.
Yeah I'm bigoted against genocidal psychopaths. Fuck me right?
You are the genocidal psychopath. Fuck you indeed.
He talked about Americans, not people.
Hitler obviously wasn't a dictator as he was democratically elected by a majority (after competing parties were banned) and then -just out of situational necessity of course- got a lot of extra powers to ignore laws and constitution.
Yeah, I see how that Chinese definition works.
Hexbear would be seething... if they could read.
I love how every single comment making fun Xi the pooh here is getting downvoted lol
Here's a little something for the dictator simps:
Gee, I wonder which group of users would do something like that...
Probably the antiracists. You should wonder if you're on the right side when you are promoting and supporting racism.
LMAO! Racist? I didn't know "dictator" was a race! Please, enlighten me.
The Winnie the Pooh meme about Xi is just racism. I don't care if you think he's a dictator.
Not racist at all. It's against one person. Trump's face is seen on an orange all the time. No one is calling for racism. He just looks like a damn orange.
So if Obama was depicted as Curious George that'd be cool yeah?
If only Obama was depicted like that, yes.
But it is commonly used to depict black people in general.
While nobody uses Winnie the Pooh to depict Chinese people, only their dictator.
There's a big difference here.
Is Trump's skin naturally orange? Is there a long history of oppressing white people in the US and other NATO countries?
Just because the Winnie the Pooh meme didn't originate as a racist symbol doesn't mean that it isn't used to propagate racism and sinophobia.
There, I fixed it for you.
Xi isn't in the US and his country isn't part of NATO. Political cartoons are as old as time. They poke fun at the individual, not their descent. By trying to make it more you're arguing for it to be censored. He has feelings (maybe), but he has gone so far as to attempt to censor the cartoon from his own country. Not because he believes it is racist, but because his opinion is that he doesn't like it. Streisand Effect of course, it gets used more. I think Xi does remarkably look like Pooh. Do other Asian persons? No. There isn't an innocence about it. Xi feels bad by it, people use it to make him angry. He is a dictator with lots of power so people use the one tool they have to attempt to fight that power - a fucking cartoon bear.
We are all one race. Human. You guys trying to claim that you are a different (read: superior) race are the racists.
What? Winnie the Pooh is from a British cartoon...Asian people aren't described as "orange" by racists. I don't think you know the origin of this meme
Please illustrate how a British cartoon character is a racist caricature of xi? Is Barack Obama a tiger?
The Taiwanese use the meme all the time. Obviously not because it looks like Xi in particular and especially because of fragile censoring, but because they like to be racist against themselves. That must be it.
Calling Trump a guinea pig is probably also considered racist in lemmygrad.
You think these memes are censored? Lol, you live in an authoritarian shithole that brainwashes you with this stupid shit. Use your brain.
Taiwan is where the former Republic of China retreated after being defeated by the People's Republic of China. The censorship of Xi=Pooh in China isn't rooted in racism, it's rooted in the political conflicts between the ROC and PRC. China censors these comparisons because they are used by opponents to attack the government. You don't have to agree with their methods to understand why they would want to do this. Censoring realistic threats to the ruling government is a common practice in all nations.
The racist aspect originates from how the meme is used in Western circles where there is a long history of racism towards minorities and the enemies of the US as well as a long history of sinophobia.
If your understanding of history, racism, and their opinions of Trump are so shallow, maybe lurking Lemmygrad to learn why users from this instance act so aggressively towards racism and war-mongering propaganda would be helpful.
If being connected to a cartoon is a "realistic threat" then you have a shit government
Top tier pearl clutching
Fair.
You have to be joking.
Right, because the meme about a Chinese man being a yellow bear isn't racist.
It's not racist
Dehumanizing people through racism is a well established method the US has historically used when manufacturing consent to go to war among its people. Look at depictions of Germans and Japanese in WWII. Look at depictions of Koreans, the Vietnamese, Afghans, and Iraqis during the invasions of their countries.
Just because its origins weren't racist doesn't mean it hasn't taken on a racist meaning. Sinophobia is rooted in racism and ignorance.
It's one guy, not a caricature of Chinese people
Edit to mention that the guy in question is a dictator
woah wtf you are being ridiculously racist. get the fuck out of here with that racist offensive stereotyping
He isn't a man. He is a bear. A fat, dumb bear.
Whoa whoa saying Chinese are yellow isn't cool. Dat's racist, with Pooh the color isn't relevant
https://niceme.me/
Pooh lover
It's definitely part communists, but I think mostly special interest groups, maybe even from China itself.
You really want to feel special enough to think the Chinese government would even care about this internet backwater? Get real.
Never heard of propaganda? It is like sand.
It is course and rough, and it gets everywhere.
Altering public opinion is definitely on their agenda. I'm not the type of person that screams China bad on everything, but this simply wouldn't surprise me. Also, nobody is trying to feel special here, except for you.
What a goddamned loser. Go sell your ignorant cultist bullshit somewhere else. Nobody here is buying it other than mindless idiots
Well that just goes to prove her point. Well done, Xi.
Overacting insecure jerk what Xi is
I don't think any country would like their head of state be called a dictator.
And yet normal, functioning countries don't lash out like this.
Except maybe Rome
Isn't your president a paedophile?
No, we voted for the older guy this time.
When the shoe fits, start wearing it. PRC is an authoritarian state led by a dictator and his cronies.
Don't you guys run the largest network of slave camps in the world? Yes you do!
Lemmygrader stay on topic challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Topic is authoritarianism wasn't it?
The topic is Xi Jinping
The most successful president in the world.
Every dictator would be
How so? What do you mean?
It's spelt Uyghurs, not you guys.
No. You guys call them negroes.
Fact is, your shithole failed state has 20% of the world's prison population, mostly black.
Don't get sick y'all. Might mean your life.
Cool, you can now go and tell your foreign minister, that they are allowed to call @NotTheOnlyGamer a slave owner.
Eh, okay?
Slave camps?
Slave camps.
Easy fix: don't be a dictator.
How can he stop being something that he's already not?
Someone who jails people over depicting them in a mocking way is a dictator.
Someone who bans historic events and pretends they never happened is a dictator.
He is. Be quiet now.
they see me rollin'
in ma tankie
pulpin' protestors but they still call me silly commie
Germany is right
You could even say, it is far-right.
Oh-oh here Xi comes
Watch out boy, Xi'll chew you up
Oh-oh here Xi comes
Xi's a man eater
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.
The CCP has higher approval rates than western governments and the vast majority of Chinese believe they are living in a democracy. This is confirmed by western studies; latest one I've seen was from Harvard.
Belief can be a helpful thing
So do the vast majority of Americans.
Okay but what meaningful influence does the average Chinese person have on who is chosen as Paramount Leader.
Most forced elections haven't gone by that term, preferring instead some other description like people's elections, free elections, or secured elections. Made up words but you get the idea.
Don't forget Führer
Open elections when there is only one party in practice are moot
You got to choose between Hoe Biden and Donald Trump last time. Get back in your box.
Yeah, our elections suck. They should be more open and should be ranked choice. Likewise, the Electoral College is complete bullshit. Even still, Xi is a dictator and China is not a democracy. Multiple things can be true.
Huh? China has elections.
You can choose between voting for wumao Pooh or being kidnapped. Great choice!
Nazi Germany had elections. North Korea has elections. As long as there's no actual opposition on the ballot, just having elections means nothing.
China is a democracy, the USA isn't. Xi is the democratically elected leader of his country and enjoys massive popular support. Your past two presidents are hated by the peasantry. You have no understanding of the world because you live in what you think North Korea is like.
Your press is censored, your internet is censored, you have a one party state with no democracy and people die from preventable diseases daily. Homelessness and poverty are rampant. Child slavery and child poverty have skyrocketed under the current regime. America is a shithole, circling the drain and your pathetic racist shit in this thread just exemplifies how little you have to come back with.
How many people voted for him? How many votes did his opponent get?
No idea. I couldn't even tell you that about my own country or the USA, you know that place that's totally a democracy where they don't count all the votes and keep the black people from voting with dirty tricks.
The general population does not vote for the presidency in China, the electors chosen by the CCP do. That is significantly less democratic than the US which is also not a very democratic country when it comes to the presidency.
Neither do americans get to vote for their president nor the germans for their chancellor.
Okay well then just a simple question: when was the election?
Also no idea. I'm not your Google.
Chinese bots are welcome... to burn in a fire
If any country knows what a dictator is, it's Germany.
Dictators were never good at hearing the truth.
Quit being a dictator. 🤷
"Dictator" is such an ugly word. I prefer "Tyrant." It's much more damning.
Another Germany W
Now they have (at least) two W's on their account
And some say there were two WWs on their account
Damn, they're good
Neither of which gave them a W though.
Yet somehow it still resulted in W Germany.
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.
That's actually worse
Where's the quote from?
My racing brain.
Thought so. Good of you to admit it loser.
Do you think it's OK to call names to a neurodivergent person (ADHD/ASD)?
What kind of names?
You called me "loser". While that can seem innocent to a neurotypical, it's devastating to a neurodivergent.
Okay loser. So what?
Have you tried not being an authoritarian PoS, Xi?
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.
Oh bother
Try "Emperor" they'll like that.
The only empire is the US empire and the way they talk about themselves as an empire, they're proud of it too. Yell one-word feel-good slogans at them like "CHANGE", "FREEDOM", or "DEMOCRACY" and all the citizens shout and cheer because that's what they've always been told to do.
Try sitting during the pledge, the singing of the national anthem, or insulting the military. The US empire will have none of that. Truly the land of the free.
It'd be funny if he called him "Winnie the pooh" when he meets him to explain himself :)
The german minister of foreign affairs is the women depicted in the post.
I think they were talking about the ambassador (who may also be a woman, idk) not the foreign minister.
Very likely. However that is also a women.
Winnie so sad lmfao
Why is that? Is it because you think it's funny that Winnie the Pooh is yellow and Xi is Chinese? Racism is so funny!!!
Nah it's funny because they're both fat and short dude
No that would be racist.
The Internet has used it to indirectly refer to him
I did for a bit too until someone here pointed out the underlying issue. Winnie is yellow in all the images of him Disney made or not. And "yellow" people in Western racism are Asians particularly Chinese people.
It would be really fucked up for Germany to call Xi any variation of that name IMO.
You are aware that they compare him to Winnie due to this image, right?
Calling it out as racism would be an exaggeration.
No it’s definitely racist—see obama is tigger because they’re calling him a….
/s
The meme was created by Chinese bloggers, who used it to mock Xi despite heavy monitoring and censorship. If anything, perpetuating it is a show of support of Chinese dissenters.
Let's think about as a way to be less obvious when talking about him
You are not a Chinese blogger.
At this point it's mostly just crackers who refer to him this way.
Did you just assume my ethnicity?
I assumed your nationality - you don't live in China lol
Jacobs or Mcvities?
Well you clearly are an authority on racism, you've got years of experience.
You can't be racist against whitey lol
It honestly depends, some VPN companies like to use it to refer him but don't want to piss off the Ccp so they blocked all their servers.
Techbros are never racist.
Look, I'm sure not every use of the meme is racist - but all racists use the meme. Get it?
This just in: calling a black person Mickey mouse is racist! Can't call a white person "Snoopy", that's racist too. Likening a Chinese person to a character from the Simpsons? Believe it or not, racist.
Whoever pointed that out is the racist.
That's one point off your critical thinking score.
Incorrect nice try though
He's not just a dictator, he's also a dick.
What's he going to do? Fling his pooh?
oh bother
Xi said that he'd start executing German tourists if they didn't take it back
whoa, got a source on that?
Its a joke
Xi: I really resemble that remark!
Their unhealthy coping mechanism is making it worse obviously
Pooh Bear is going to send out another final warning again. China loves those final warnings.
Do remember that the same Baerbock said that we (Germany/…) are at war with Russia.
Can we say what a laugh of a minute he is
Omfg made my day
If it whines like a goose and goose-steps like a... goose... then maybe it's a goose.
This is hilarious
Germany is over which sea from China? Is the middle east a sea now? Ffs global warming.
West Taiwan -100000 social credit DAE Xinnie? XD
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?
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, there’s a high probability it is a duck.
Good old Ski Ski Spring.
If you complain about people calling you a dictator means that you're fully aware that you are a dictator.
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.
Scholz is really just like Merkel. It's the green party that brings the fresh air and most importantly content
Fair enough. I was thinking that Scholz isn't as left as I thought the SPD was known for.
The SPD is known for being not left. He himself started out as stamocap, pretty much as far left as you could be in the SPD (now that's Die Like territory), but that was his youth. Now he's considered to belong to the right wing of the party but without clear association to any of the particular wings (there's at least two large left and two large right ones in total). Or let me put it this way: At least he's not a Seeheimer, the people who oversaw the turn of the SPD into New Labouresque bullshit and the dismantling of the welfare state, introduced a gigantic low-wage sector, etc. The left wing also doesn't actively oppose him, though with the SPD you never know whether it's the left wing simply lacking balls, again.
You said it queen 😍
Oh, wonder who's said that.
Oh so literally no one new. Just another American lapdog.
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.
When asked about Russia’s war on Ukraine, she said: “If Putin were to win this war, what sign would that be for other dictators in the world, like Xi, like the Chinese president?”
Thx, maybe it helps other people to understand that this statement is implying that China would like to invade Taiwan. It implies that China wants to act like russia acted with ukraine. If you are following china's international politics and diplomacy you should understand that this is the bigger problem. They don't care about this dictator-shit. If they really care about the word dictator: PLS! PLS! PLS! Give me a source for it.
Yes, China doesn't want to invade other countries, not at all, that's not the reason why other countries are mad at the map the Chinese government released recently, it's just the other countries misrepresenting China and Xi.
Are you some kind of retarded? I said the problem is that Baerbock was implying it. I did not say anything about, if they want to invade or if they don't want to. I don't want to judge about it. If you wanna do it - go for it. But don't say I made a choice here. Diplomacy is a game, which only works, if you're playing it good. Baerbock has many opportunities to play games, but what does she do? She goes to this damn News-Channel, who promoted Trump.
ableism is bad
Sorry, you're right. I am doing wrong to retarded people. Retarded people are more intelligent.

Like with Russia? Yes, I guess they learned the lesson. Fuck dictators.
I actually agree with this, it's counterproductive, but Germany is a little sensitive right now because their car industry can't compete with subsidized Chinese electric cars (dumping actually), so :3
China is committing a genocide. We need to clearly address as what it is and stop being dependent on it.
How surprising, an American satellite state is following American foreign interests
You people sound fucking more and more retarded every single day
