After calling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a “lapdog,” on Monday, April 5, Li Yang took aim at Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and threatened that his administration would only keep the country “in contempt” of the world. The “scorn” of the world. The move sparked a flood of vicious comments from netizens.
On Monday, Li Yang posted a tweet slamming Kan, accompanied by a photo of him, in which he claimed that Kan’s ‘deterrent power’ would not prevent the Communist Party from “achieving national unification, but only allow Japan to remain a vassal of the United States and continue to be held in contempt by the world. That’s the difference between a politician and a statesman!” .
The tweet comes as Japan prepares to hold summit talks in the United States. On April 4, Kan had publicly commented on the Taiwan Strait issue on his program and said that Japan might exercise its right to collective self-defense in a limited way and might prepare for action with the United States if the Taiwan Strait is defined as erupting into a crisis. Kan also mentioned both the Hong Kong and Xinjiang issues, pointing out that the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights violations necessitate a response based on universal values, freedoms and basic human rights rules.
Prior to that, on March 28, Li Yang became the first Chinese ambassador to a foreign country to publicly abuse a foreign prime minister with an expletive calling Trudeau a “lapdog and loser of the United States. In response, Charles-Burton, a former Canadian diplomat in Beijing, denounced the posting as a possible reason for the Canadian government to declare him persona non grata and send him home, if it had been posted by a Chinese diplomat in Canada.
In response to Li Yang’s move, many Chinese-speaking netizens believe that as an ambassador, Li Yang has repeatedly made hurtful remarks, and that his actions are clearly motivated by the need to show loyalty to the CCP and to clam up, “political hooliganism,” “here we go again,” rabies”, “hair dog upside down”.

fhsky***: look at the passport to know who is scorned
In the international arena, Japanese passports enjoy the privilege of visa-free access to 190 countries, while passports issued by the Chinese Communist Party are said to have “very low gold content” in the international arena, with few developed countries offering visa-free access. In overseas Chinese search engines, “Why are there so few visa-free countries in China’s passport” has been one of the top search entries.
Some netizens also asked on the mainland’s Zhihu, “Why are there so many visa-free countries in Taiwan (167 countries), but so few in the mainland?” Some netizens answered that this is also related to the fact that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China (MFA) is not active outside the country. Another netizen replied, “Some people say the answer is not the question, then I will write directly: it must be a system problem: Taiwan is democratic and free, the mainland bricks and mortar poisonous vegetables.”
