The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to make enemies on all sides of the international stage, with the latest drama coming from Li Yang, the CCP’s Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The latest drama comes from Li Yang, the Chinese Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, who recently called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “lapdog of the United States” in a Twitter post, which has raised the eyebrows of the international diplomatic community.
When a netizen left a comment on Li Yang’s Twitter account in Chinese criticizing China’s declining diplomatic standards, Li Yang called him a “mooch”. When someone said that the Canadian leadership was correct in its judgment of the Chinese Communist Party, Li Yang asked, “Does Canada have leadership?” Li Yang also responded to a message from netizens, saying that the arrest of huawei Vice Chairman Meng Wanzhou by Canada was a “dirty deed” forced on Canada by the United States.
The former Canadian diplomat in China, Burton, said it was a provocative statement that could have made Canadian authorities classify him as persona non grata and ask him to leave the country if it had been made by a diplomatic official in Canada. Some scholars argue that insulting the leaders of other countries is not the right thing for diplomats to do.
Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the official media Global Times, said in an article that although Li Yang’s language is in a sensitive space of intense controversy, what he said is true.
Twitter user “Joanna Lin” said: “Brazilian Consul General Li Yang has turned into a Twitter War Wolf, raging against Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! Chinese diplomacy is bankrupt and can only send war wolves to bite!”
