(know thy enemy - elpadre) The press center for the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) hosted the fourth press conference Thursday, expounding the Party's foreign work in the new era and major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. When answering a question from a Global Times reporter about how China's diplomacy reflects a fighting spirit in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, Ma Zhaoxu, member of the CPC Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that daring to fight and being good at fighting are the fine traditions and distinctive features of China's diplomacy. On the new journey, China's diplomacy will continue to carry forward the fighting spirit, improve fighting skills, and always stand at the forefront of safeguarding national interests and dignity, he added. These words are powerful and will help deepen the outside world's comprehensive understanding of China's diplomacy in the new era.
Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, "fighting" has increasingly become a high-frequency word and keyword in China's diplomacy, and it is also a word that has been misunderstood a lot by the outside world. US and Western public opinion has labeled China's diplomacy such as "wolf warrior", as one of the foot notes to hype the so-called China threat theory. They deliberately distort the fighting spirit of China's diplomacy, and by distorting the concept, they try to turn it from China's just act of defending the country's dignity and interests, as well as international rules and principles, into an aggressive and destructive diplomatic symbol. Washington even wants to label China with which itself deserves.

“sinister”?
Sounds gauche.
excerpted:
“...In fact, the international community understands and applauds the fighting spirit of China’s diplomacy, because the fighting emphasized by China is a defensive one based on bottom-line thinking. For the vast number of developing countries that are deeply threatened by power politics, such a fighting is of universal significance. It is impossible for China’s diplomacy to become hideous because of its fighting spirit. On the contrary, the grim face of US-style “offensive realism” diplomacy has been increasingly seen by the world. No matter how much makeup it puts on, it cannot be covered. The fighting spirit will make China’s diplomatic image more vivid, richer and sincerer and give it more room for action....”
They’re bragging about Chicoms thugs in England beating demonstrators at their consulate in Manchester.
“..always stand at the forefront of safeguarding national interests and dignity, ...”
They crucified Trump for doing the very same for the US.
Surely there is something lost in translation because that doesn’t make much sense.
Boiled down to what?
“Accept whatever Uncle Xi dictates without a nanosecond of unnecessary delay or hesitation or question. To dare challenging what your Goverment ‘advises’ you to do in any given situation, means you are ‘fighting’ the Chinese Govt!
We are training people to ‘fight back’ at the interrupters of purpose, all for the lofty pursuit of peace and harmony for all. You will ‘be happy’ whether you like it or not.
I know. But reading it thought it is a very short distance between diplomatic fighting spirit to military fighting spirit - and warfare.
I’ll bet they were all eating General Tso’s Chicken.
The ChiCom junta is illegitimate.
Why of course they did. They wouldn’t want us to have a strong leader after having so many terrible leaders before him. That is why they helped steal the 2020 election, with the knowledge & blessing of the Uniparty scum buckets.
“sinister”?
Sounds gauche.
A left-handed compliment, for sure.
The headline is a variation on the “no true Scotsman” fallacy.
I guess the ‘fighting spirit’ of the CCP is like ‘jihad’. It’s an inner struggle, a search for peace, or some other such similar B.S.
“Fighting spirit” of China not so good when meeting Indian army Gurkhas in Ladakh mountains. “Fighting spirit” run away and hide.
“Fighting spirit” soon to be given to China grandpas and grandmas as China becomes Chinese people old age home, thanks to abortion.
