what the fuck is up with imperialist Westerners taking stances against China, then going on diplomatic visits there.

"hello yes, I stand in opposition to your sovereignty and your authority in the international sphere. Pls be friendly wif me uwu" shut the fuck up

I think they're provoking a response so they can "prove" the aggressiveness of authoritarian China or whatever. Then they can publish spicy headlines to sway public opinion

Gotta agree. The spin is something along the lines of "We came to those backwards barbarians with our hands extended in peace, and they swatted us aside for exercising our FREE SPEECH! Clearly it indicates how bellicose and authoritarian they are!"

Huge contradictions in that they need China but also want to project tough guy energy and seem like they're still relevant on the international stage riding off the legacy of their colonial empires

bimonthly reminder that not even the government on Taiwan considers Taiwan to be an "independent country"

No need , warmongers don't care such things

Hope that China will deny this visit and impose sanctions on UK. As far as I know they sanctioned Lithuania for Taiwan bullshit

Or South Korea. Libs love talking about how Russia is run by oligarchs, but this topic never seems to come up when they talk about SK.

Do these people realize that they have a lot to lose by pulling stupid shit like this?

Nope. European arrogance.

Brexit working out so great, might as well do it again.

Did it work out for the national bourgeoisie?

It's so cute how the UK still thinks it's relevant

As far as making life worse for other people around the world? I'd argue it is, somewhat

jesus christ didn't the foreign minister just visited china as well? It seems like a pattern now, foreign official visits china, foreigner complains about some made up bullshit, and the foreign country comes out with some awful imperialist dog-drivel.

Good diplomacy dipshits, fuck your economy.

What a grand and intoxicating idiocy!

The only thing the UK government is still good at doing is making a situation worse.

to be fair, if i were the little lordling running a troubled, fragmenting island and visiting a global superpower, i would make some kind of announcement about how i'm going over there and really going to stick it to those motherfuckers, expecting to be met with throngs of hooting idiots below the parapet.

and then, once over there and behind closed doors i would tell them they can piss on me for $100 and if they want to kiss me on the lips its $150.

that's just old school statecraft.
