As the Chinese Communist Party’s “war wolf diplomacy” angered the world, the Chinese Embassy in Ireland posted a tweet on March 31, citing the story of Aesop’s fable “The Wolf and the Lamb,” which prompted netizens to mock it.

Aesop’s fable “The Wolf and the Lamb” depicts a wolf who saw a lamb drinking water at a stream and wanted to eat it. The wolf said that the lamb had made the water dirty, and the lamb explained, “You are in the upper stream, I am in the lower stream, the water will not flow backwards. The wolf said that the lamb often scolded him behind his back last year, and the lamb said, “That’s impossible, I wasn’t born last year!”
No matter how the sheep proved its innocence, the wolf said the lamb was a bad egg and pounced on it with bared teeth. This parable expresses that “any legitimate defense against the wicked is also ineffective.”
On March 31, the Chinese Communist Embassy in Ireland quoted the Aesop’s fable on Twitter with the tweet, “Who is the wolf?” “Many people say the CCP is war wolf diplomacy. In the famous Aesop’s fable, the wolf accuses the lamb of wrongdoing. A wolf is a wolf! By the way, the Chinese Communist Party is not a sheep.”

However, the tweet immediately triggered a wave of mockery from netizens at home and abroad. Some foreign netizens said, “In Aesop’s fable, wolves are vicious, unjust and unable to communicate rationally. If this is the image you want to project of the Chinese Communist Party, you can only wish you good luck in diplomacy.”
Others said, “What does it really mean?” “The tweet is an admission by the CCP embassy that the CCP’s policies are erratic and sometimes evil.”
Other netizens sarcastically said of the CCP: “Yes, you are the wolf.” “Kudos to the honest Chinese Communist Embassy in Ireland.”
World Crossroads host Tang Hao also retweeted the tweet and teased, “Is the Chinese Communist diplomatic system ‘right on the money’ with its high-profile declaration of being a wolf? Or is it a brain fry?” This “wolf and lamb” tweet from the Chinese Communist Embassy in Ireland has now been deleted.
In recent times, the Chinese Communist Foreign Ministry’s war wolves have been provoking the international community in all directions, causing the international community to look sideways. During the first high-level U.S.-China talks on March 18, the CCP’s top diplomatic official, Yang Jiechi, made a nearly 20-minute long war wolf remark in front of U.S. Secretary of State Blinken, claiming that “the U.S. is not qualified to speak to China (the Communist Party) from above” and that “the Chinese don’t eat this “.
This was followed by a tweet from the Chinese Embassy in France calling Bondaz, a researcher at the French Foundation for Strategic Studies, a “hooligan,” prompting international condemnation. Bondazi led the foundation’s “Taiwan Security and Diplomacy” project in January.
On March 22, the Chinese Communist Party was sanctioned by the United States, Britain, Europe and Canada for persecuting human rights in Xinjiang. The Communist Party not only retaliated against people from various countries, but also provoked a boycott of foreign goods, and a number of international brands that rejected Xinjiang’s blood and cotton were attacked by public opinion.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying claimed at a press conference that some brands “while earning Chinese money, while smashing the Chinese bowl”, “Xinjiang cotton does not eat this set.
On March 28, the Chinese Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Li Yang, tweeted a picture of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him a “loser” and a “lapdog of the United States”, causing an outcry.
However, the unreasonable behavior of the diplomatic wolves of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has not only damaged the international image of the CCP, but also intensified the conflict between the CCP and the international community. Yu Maochun, a China policy think-tank of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s (Trump) administration, recently told the Central News Agency that the CCP’s strong push for war-wolf diplomacy will only further isolate it in the international arena.
