I don’t even know where to begin with this one. The entire story is so over the top that it’s hard to be believe.
The first thing that came to mind … ok, maybe not the FIRST, but one of the first things that came to mind was how the CCP completely humiliated then President Obama when they forced him to exit Air Force One at the rear of the aircraft.
NextShark reported at the time:
‘Many observers have been accusing China’s leaders of deliberately snubbing Barack Obama during his arrival in the country on Saturday afternoon after the U.S. president was not given the standard red-carpet staircase used to leave Air Force One. Chinese official involved in the diplomatic arrangements for Obama’s arrival for the G20 meeting, however, revealed that this was not the case.
For other notable attendees of the high-profile meeting of powerful heads of state, Chinese authorities provided the red-carpet treatment for Russian president Vladimir Putin, South Korean president Park Geun-hye, India’s prime minister Narendra Modi, British prime minister Theresa May and Brazilian president Michel Temer.
Now, if you thought forcing the President of the United States of America to crawl out of the back of his plane and having to welcome wagon for hm was degrading … wait until you see how little they respect the Biden Administration!
VICE.com reported:
‘The Chinese government has promised to stop using anal swabs on American diplomats to test for COVID-19 after Washington complained that the practice was undignified, the U.S. State Department said.
“The State Department never agreed to this kind of testing and protested directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when we learned that some staff were subject to it,” a State Department spokesperson told VICE World News on Wednesday.
The spokesperson said Beijing had assured Washington that the test was given “in error” and that diplomatic personnel were exempt from the test, which was mandatory for incoming travelers in some parts of China.
“We have instructed staff to decline this test if it is asked of them, as was done in the past.”
There are a thousand and one jokes that I could tell here … I think I’ll let you make your own jokes up.
The really sad part is that the joke is really on us. This is how much the rest of the world respects our administration. It’s as if they have everyone in the delegation blackmailed … or something.
