On the evening of March 3, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said again at a press conference that the Chinese Communist Party had fabricated charges and detained two Canadians.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party’s war-wolf diplomacy has become increasingly arrogant. Over the weekend, Li Yang, the CCP’s Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, publicly insulted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Twitter.
In his post, Li Yang called Trudeau an asshole whose greatest ability is to sabotage Canada-China relations and reduce Canada to a running dog, with no regard for proper diplomatic etiquette. In the post, Li Yang also attached a recent photo of Trudeau.
Running dog is a term commonly used by the Chinese Communist Party’s Maoist leader to call out Western countries, equating it with such highly insulting words as lackey, kneeling and fawning. Since the end of the Cultural Revolution, the CCP has rarely insulted foreign leaders in order to get closer to the West.

Tearing off the disguise and going into battle bare-chested
Since the outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus (Wuhan virus and New Crown virus), the West has become increasingly critical of the CCP, and the CCP has increasingly torn off its disguise and staged increasingly frenzied and ferocious war-wolf diplomacy.
Last week, the Chinese Communist Party sanctioned Canada’s Conservative Shadow Foreign Minister, Chinese-born Michael Chong, and various members of the Canadian Parliamentary Sub-Committee on Foreign Affairs and Human Rights, as well as a number of other Western dignitaries; the Chinese Communist Party completely shut down H&M’s online stores in mainland China after a statement by Swedish fashion chain H&M that it would no longer purchase Chinese Communist Party blood cotton from Xinjiang spread on Chinese social media.
In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party and the West have been moving to sanction Australian beef and wine, Canadian pork and canola, etc. due to diplomatic disputes, in an attempt to blackmail the West into compliance with China’s huge market consumption capacity.
In other words, in the face of criticism from the international community, especially from countries that the Chinese Communist Party considers hostile, the Chinese Communist Party has always jumped up to engage in “muscle shows” and war-wolf diplomacy, blatantly disregarding the traditional rules of diplomacy.
Doing it for the Chinese
Richard McGregor, an expert on East Asia at the Lowy Institute, an Australian think tank, said Li Yang’s war-wolf rhetoric, while a show of bravado, reflects the arrogance of the Chinese Communist Party, which sees itself as a rising power and does not care to listen to opposition.
Zhiqun Zhu, a Chinese-American professor of international relations and political science at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, argues that it is completely inconsistent with diplomatic protocol for a senior diplomat of Li Yang’s stature to attack foreign leaders in such a manner.
The problem is that the Chinese Communist Party is very much indulging in this kind of war-wolf diplomatic show. At the recent U.S.-China Alaska high-level meeting, the top-level Chinese Communist Party war-wolf diplomatic show was played to the extreme again, giving chicken blood to the unknown Chinese and stimulating the diplomatic war wolves to go bare-knuckle.
According to Alvin Y.H. Cheung, a Chinese-American expert at New York University’s Institute of American and Asian Law, the CCP is doing this to distract Chinese people’s attention and focus on various domestic issues and conflicts. For Li Yang, it shows domestic Chinese that the more arrogant he acts internationally, the more likely he will gain where the CCP is concerned.
War Wolf Diplomacy Intimidation
The CCP’s war-wolf diplomacy and muscle show did bluff some countries as well. For example, dozens of countries in the UN Human Rights Council (including many Muslim countries) have taken a stand in support of the CCP’s atrocities in Xinjiang; some small neighboring countries in China are reluctant to act against the CCP because of their huge trade interests.
South Korea, Japan and New Zealand, among others, have not joined the joint sanctions imposed by the U.S., U.K., Canada, the EU and other Western countries against the CCP’s atrocities in Xinjiang because of their trade interests with China.
Some large corporations and chambers of commerce in Canada have also played deaf and dumb to the CCP thugs. The Canada China Business Council (CCBC) has refused to make any comments after the Canadian Parliament declared the Chinese Communist Party committed genocide in Xinjiang not long ago.
Li Yang has attacked Japan and other countries across the ocean on Twitter in the past, and has continued to attack Canada on Twitter over the huawei Meng Wanzhou case.
Drawing hot debate from netizens
Li Yang’s posts have garnered a lot of uproar from the Chinese Communist Party’s pinkos, but they have drawn more criticism from netizens.
Patricia Bolton replied on Twitter that Li Yang’s actions “insult the Chinese Canadians who are integrated into our society and bring great intellectual and scientific contributions to our country.”
Facing opposition from netizens, Li Yang trolled @Zbrzbr2525, saying, “You’re not even worthy of being a grandson to the Communist Party! You should just make do with being a dog for America!”
He even insulted the netizen Paper Boats as a “Muyo dog”.
From Li Yang’s abusive posting, there is no sign of a diplomat’s quality. The netizen, signed Karen Woods, responded, “We have to be professional in our political commentary, and you can’t be a professional diplomat and make jokes, can you?”
Netizen Lori Think responded, “A bandit is a bandit, even if you wear a suit, even if you travel the world.” Other netizens responded with a picture of Li Yang as a “Red Nazi”.

Trudeau did not respond to Li Yang’s incident at a U.N. news conference on Monday, but he mentioned the Xinjiang issue, saying Canada has been very strong in defending human rights and remains concerned about the situation in Xinjiang.
