Xina's Bullying Diplomacy

Nations' governments can exhibit personality disorders. 60 Minutes Australia obviously realizes that overblown coverage of controversy will attract viewers. China appears to believe that bullying will induce other nations to cooperate. I rather doubt that Xi's odious notion of Wolf-Warrior diplomacy will prove effective, particularly with Australians.

"The message coming out of China is getting louder by the day. It doesn't like other countries, especially Australia, ganging up and meddling in its affairs. As we know Beijing is currently doing its best to punish us economically, but in the last few days President Xi Jinping has also ratcheted up the rhetoric by warning of the perils of a new cold war. A loose translation is if we don't stop poking the panda, we'll face serious consequences. Now it's worth taking the threat seriously because Xi controls the largest military force in the world, and as one of his supporters cautions tonight, the cost of conflict with China could be Armageddon."

Victor Zhikai Gao (born 1962) is a Chinese international relations expert and translator. He is a Director of the China National Association of International Studies and an Executive Director of Beijing Private Equity Association. He is best known for his position as the late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping's translator and currently an international expert on Chinese issues. Victor Gao is the vice president of the Center for China and Globalization.

The Center for China and Globalization (CCG) is a Chinese think tank based in Beijing. It was founded in 2008 by a committee of the Western Returned Scholars Association, an organization under the United Front Work Department. CCG is a member of an alliance of think tanks, coordinated by the International Liaison Department of the Chinese Communist Party, that support the Belt and Road Initiative. [Meaning that Gao's posturing threats of "nuclear Armageddon" are party approved. I suspect that Australian media might be using this smug little martinet to stir up anti-Chinese sentiment.]
