The Chinese Communist Party‘s official media, Xinhua News Agency, tweeted a sarcastic tweet about the U.S. government transition on the 20th, writing “Trump is well on his way” and attaching a link to a commentary that criticized Trump’s message to Biden a few days ago. But the Chinese Communist Party officials did not expect this move to attract the public back to the irony, and even “Little Pooh” have appeared.
Xinhua News Agency issued an article to “Trump good go” public irony back
The 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, took the presidential plane Marine One to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to deliver his farewell speech on January 20, EST, stressing that he will always fight for the American people and once again wishing the new administration good luck, but not a word about Biden. After his speech, Trump flew on Air Force One to Florida.
Shortly after Trump left the White House, Xinhua posted a photo of the U.S. Capitol with the words “Good riddance, Donald Trump” in an official tweet.
The phrase “Good riddance, Donald Trump” is ironic because it is followed by an English-language commentary published by Xinhua News Agency on the 16th that strongly criticizes the Trump Administration‘s policies toward the Chinese Communist government during its four-year tenure and reminds the new President Joe Biden’s administration that the situation should be reversed.

Although the tweet was full of irony, it was mostly followed by mocking comments against the Chinese Communist Party. Some responded with “Good Riddance to China,” saying that the Communist Party is no longer a trustworthy country for the United States and that the United States should put more pressure on the Communist Party to keep its promises.
Some netizens mocked, “Don’t be happy too soon” and “China got what it wanted”; others made a sarcastic reference to the French fries and chicken nuggets in a fast Food restaurant, designed to look like the “tank man” blocking a tank before the June 4 Incident in 1989.
Many netizens also posted pictures of “Little Pooh” under Xinhua’s tweets to show their irony.

Why Beijing is half a beat late in retaliating against the US
In fact, after Trump left office, the Communist Party of China (CPC) made a lot of official moves.
On January 20, Beijing Time, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference that Pompeo had “told too many lies and released too much poison” in the past few years, and Hua even foul-mouthed Pompeo as a “doomsday clown.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry also announced sanctions against 28 Trump administration officials in the early hours of the 21st, including Peter Navarro, former director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, Robert O’Brien, former national security advisor, David Stilwell, former assistant secretary of state for Asia-Pacific, and former deputy secretary of state. Stilwell, former Deputy National Security Advisor Matthew Pottinger, health Secretary Alex Azar, State Department Under Secretary Keith Krach, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft, and long-dead former National Security Advisor John Robert Bolton. Robert Bolton, Stephen Bannon, the former chief White House strategist, and others.
Chinese officials have threatened to ban them and their families from “entering mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau” and from “dealing and doing business with China” for “them and their affiliated companies and institutions.
In this regard, Radio France cited comments that Beijing ordered sanctions against Pompeo and other key officials just after Trump left office because it was afraid that doing so before the Trump administration left office would lead to harsher sanctions from the United States, so it had to hold back until after they stepped down.
And previously the Trump administration had offered a succession of orders to sanction Chinese Communist Party officials in an attempt to help Hong Kong protect the existing system and uphold the basic rights of the Chinese people.
Including in August 2020, the U.S. passed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, which sanctioned Chinese and Hong Kong officials who undermined Hong Kong’s autonomy, including Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Director of the Chief Executive’s Office and Secretary General of the National Security Council Chan Kwok-kee, Secretary for Justice Cheng York-wah, Secretary for Security Lee Ka-chiu, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Tsang Kwok-wai, Commissioner of Police Tang Ping-keung, former Commissioner of Police Lo Wai-chung, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Gary Locke, Director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office Xia Baolong, Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office Zhang Xiaoming, and Director of the National Security Bureau Cheng Yan-hung.
In early December of the same year, the U.S. executive branch again announced sanctions against 14 vice chairmen of the Chinese National People’s Congress, including Cai Dafeng, Cao Jianming, Chen Zhu, Baima Chilin, Ding Zhongli, Hao Mingjin, Ai Liqin, and Ji Bingxuan, for undermining the democratic process in Hong Kong. Yiming Bahai, Ji Bingxuan, Shen Yueyue, Wan Exiang, Wang Chen, Wang Dongming, Wu Weihua, and Zhang Chunxian. These individuals and their immediate Family members will be banned from entering the country and their assets in the United States will be frozen.
The latest wave of sanctions occurred on January 15, 2021, and included Chinese Vice Premier You Quan of the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Standing Committee Member of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Tam Yiu-chung, Deputy Director of the Office of State Security in Hong Kong Sun Qingye, and Hong Kong Police Commissioner of State Security Choi Chin-pang, two Assistant Commissioners Kan Kai-yan and Jiang Xue-li, among others.
