The first high-level U.S.-China dialogue since Biden took office has come to an end. Yang Jiechi’s nearly 17-minute “War Wolf” speech shocked the international community. And Yang’s words: “Chinese people don’t eat this! The Chinese have become a hot word on the Internet. This has triggered netizens to create sentences.
Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, opened the first day of the U.S.-China meeting on the 18th by striking a “battle wolf” pose, fuming at Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and spending about 17 minutes criticizing the U.S. in a black-and-white manner. It took about 17 minutes.
Radio Free Asia’s “Ears to the Wind” commented that the People’s Daily published an article last June saying, “The friendship between the people of China and the United States is unstoppable. However, Yang Jiechi, in a rare move, disregarded diplomatic etiquette and made a strong statement: “The United States is not qualified to speak to China from above, and the Chinese do not eat this!
The commentary said that in Yang Jiechi’s words, the “friendship between the two peoples”, which was “unstoppable”, was suddenly “stopped” by his words. Should we believe Yang Jiechi or the People’s Daily?
Yang Jiechi’s original words were: “You are not qualified to say in front of China that you talk to China from a position of strength. 20 or 30 years ago, you were not in a position to say this because the Chinese do not eat this…”
According to “Earworm,” Yang Jiechi’s remarks are an indirect admission that the United States stands on the moral high ground of democracy and human rights; otherwise, how can he conclude that the United States is “on top”? Regardless of whether the United States has human rights and democracy, Yang has at least acknowledged the existence of democracy and human rights as a universal value in principle! I wonder if this is a “ghost pat on the back of the head”?
Yang Jiechi said, “The Chinese don’t eat this!” So, what exactly do the Chinese people eat? Many Chinese netizens made sentences.
“Chinese people don’t eat this set (American set meal), they only eat bubble noodles.”
“China doesn’t eat the American set, only the Mao Zedong Cultural Revolution set.”
“China does not eat this set of the United States, eat three years of famine died 30 million people that set.”
“China does not eat the United States, eat Family planning classes that set.”
“China doesn’t eat the American way, it eats the urban-rural apartheid way.”
“Chinese people do not eat this set, the people are afraid to speak, they are this group, how always kidnapped we Chinese people.”
“The wind in my ears” said, although the message is only a joke. The vast majority of intelligent Chinese people understand that the Chinese Communist regime and the Chinese people are two different things, and it is a fact that the Chinese people have suffered a lot from the Chinese Communist Party!
After the U.S.-China talks, the Chinese Communist Party’s Xinhua news agency said Chinese officials spoke at the meeting, without naming names, against former U.S. President Donald Trump‘s (Trump) policy of treating the Chinese people and the ruling Chinese Communist Party differently, saying that the ruling status and institutional security of the Chinese Communist Party cannot be compromised and that “this is a red line that cannot be touched.
The report also said that China urged the U.S. side to “eliminate the influence of the previous administration’s erroneous policy toward China,” claiming that the ruling status of the CPC “is the choice of history and the choice of the people” and that the leadership of the CPC has the heartfelt support of 1.4 billion Chinese people.
Hong Kong‘s Sing Tao Daily quoted an analysis that it is quite rare for China to talk at length about the ruling Communist Party in a diplomatic dialogue. This is related to the Trump Administration officials’ increasing attacks on the Chinese Communist Party and their efforts to distinguish the “Chinese Communist Party” from the “Chinese people”.
U.S.-based political and economic analyst Qin Peng tweeted that the most shameful statement Yang Jiechi made during the talks was that the Communist Party represents the Chinese people and that “our values are human values: peace, development, fairness, justice, freedom and democracy.
Qin Peng said that in China, these words are able to become sensitive words when put on the street or on the Internet, and nonsense about what the Communist Party of China represents the Chinese people, and its values human values!
In recent years, Trump administration officials have clearly distinguished the Chinese Communist Party from China, and dignitaries represented by former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have emphasized that “the U.S.-China conflict is only a conflict between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party,” and that the biggest lie of the Chinese Communist Party is that it speaks for the 1.4 billion people it monitors, oppresses, and dares not speak out.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesmen Wang Wenbin and Wang Yi, as well as the Communist Party media, have made lengthy explanations for this. Xi Jinping has also said five times in a row that “the Chinese people will never agree”, including that “the Chinese people will never agree to any attempt by anyone or any force to divide or oppose the CPC and the Chinese people”.
Free Asia has quoted scholars as saying that the distinction between the CCP and the Chinese people has poked a sore spot in the CCP, which is why the CCP rushed to tie the CCP and the people together. And the U.S. government’s policies toward China in recent years have all pointed the finger at the CCP. Some people may thus distance themselves from the CCP or even break away from the Communist Party. This makes it clearer for society to distinguish these people who oppress and ride over the people from the general population, which the CCP is afraid of.
