“It would be completely misguided for Britain to view China as a competitor… what do China and Britain compete with?”
The British government should not “overestimate its impact on the global scene,” spokesperson for the [Communist Party of China], Victor Gao, tells [British propagandist].
Translation: You’re too irrelevant for us to even view you as a competitor. You produce nothing.
Victor Gao (Gao Zhikai) was an interpreter for Deng Xiaoping, but he is not a CPC member, but rather a member of China Democratic League.
Here’s Victor Gao talking about China’s whole-process people’s democracy: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2022-11-07/How-does-whole-process-people-s-democracy-work--1eJSwwxCtji/index.html
Some foreign news agencies even called me a spokesperson of the Communist Party of China, which is not true. In reality, I’m not a CPC member. I’m a member of a democratic party of China.
Westoid Journalist: “So tell us about the insidious schemes of the CEE CEE PEE.”
Gao: “Actually, I’m not a CPC member, I’m a member of one of several other political parties recognized by-”
Westoid Journalist: “DOES NOT COMPUTE. CEE CEE PEE SINGLE PARTY AUTHORITARIANISM TEN TRILLION DEAD WEEEGURTS. DOES NOT COMPUTE DOES NOT COMPUTE.”
I remember the debate some rando fox journalist had with an anchor for CGTN where the anchor stated in the beginning that she is not part of the communist party and her opinion doesn’t reflect the party line and the fox channel lady just keeps referring her as a communist party member
Never mind, they know so little about us that if I were the director of the CIA, I would fire all the employees.Although I am from China, I still feel that the taxes paid by Americans are in vain.
Yeah but does Choina produce a proper shite beer that gets exported to the world?
Choiner
Choiner, mate
Uh yeah Snow beer is literally the most sold beer in the world lmao.
They’re pretty good at making television shows that get remade into better television shows by Americans. That’s something, I guess.
They excelled at generations of cultural bitterness toward a world that threw off their colonial yokes and started to heal from all the slaughter their empire caused.
Yes, this includes shit they pulled with China, especially when pushing opium.
Like what?
The Office. I never watched either version but supposedly the English version was a flop.
Wow really? I prefer the original version. The original was very dry, and then Steve Carell… I like his comedy, but he just turned the show’s comedy into more Steve Carell comedy. It didn’t capture the original’s dry wit at all.
I can’t comment on it I just heard that the ratings weren’t great. Which makes sense if you consider that Office UK had 2 Seasons and Office US had 9.
This of course doesn’t necessarily speak about the quality of content.
IT crowd is better than the british office anyway.

That’s really down to the casting more than anything else
I was half joking, the British shows are usually pretty good in their own right, but there are a lot of successful American shows based on British ones (as well as a few flops). Whether they’re “better” is subjective, but it’s a longstanding phenomenon.
The Office is the best example, but there are others. Three’s Company and its spin-offs were based on a British series. Sanford and Son, as well. Veep was made my the same creative team as The Thick of It and is a clear spiritual successor. American Idol was based on Pop Idol, the latter only ran two seasons while the former is still going.
Some British shows stand on their own, even if remakes are attempted. The IT Crowd, Red Dwarf, they tried like three different shows to try unsuccessfully to recapture the magic of Fawlty Towers.
Regardless, without British television, American television wouldn’t be the same, and without American television, most people would never have heard of most British television.
Either way, death to America and Britain as per usual.
As a party spokesperson, Gao will probably stay at plausible deniability levels of subtlety with his burns. Like his statement here is obvs saying Britain isn’t competitive, but he can easily claim that he’s just saying they don’t compete with each other.Chen has a bit more of a free hand with which to openly slap faces.

The funny thing is i don’t even think he is a party spokesperson, that’s just something the western media made up.
He starts off so polite as well. The presenter does not look happy at the end lol
Western presenters rarely allow an interviewee to speak for so long uninterrupted if the guest is saying something against the accepted Western narrative. Dude was either in shock to too mad to talk.
I hope that one day I, too, will be able to deliver such devastating burns in such an eloquent manner.
That is an impressive burn, and an icy one too.
That video was so good:
Does britain produce cars or EVs? No.
Does britain produce semiconductor tech? No.
Does britain produce anything? No.
Does britain accomplish anything? No.
Is Britain worthless? Yes.
What do they produce?
Uh, I don’t know, haven’t you ever heard of English Tea?
Stolen from India and best used for dumping in harbors.
That was Chinese only, British sent a spy in China to steal the secrets of Tea harvesting and brought it in Darjeeling which is now called the Darjeeling tea worldwide.
Yorkshire Tea specifically!
Ah yes, the vast fields of tea plants that grow in Yorkshire…
Maybe sheep counts. But if Scotland and Wales decide to split off, then they’re in trouble.
