Burns, the new U.S. ambassador to China nominated by President Biden, viciously launched a systematic attack on China at a hearing Wednesday, acting as a "wolf warrior" who escaped alive. Coming to Beijing on his way to Beijing, he did not show his willingness to promote friendly exchanges between China and the United States and the two peoples, but instead showed off his posture as a "wolf warrior ambassador," humiliating the original meaning of diplomatic envoys and setting a very bad example for the global diplomatic circles.
That being the case, Lao Hu advocated that Chinese society should treat him as a "wolf warrior." We will accord him the diplomatic manners and treatment he deserves, but we do not need to pay him the same respect that we usually have when we face foreign envoys with this symbol, which embodies the friendship of a people.
The title "Wolf Warrior" comes from a film that embodies the attitude of Chinese soldiers and tough guys to resolutely return to external challenges and bullying. However, one of the fundamental meanings of diplomacy is communication and coordination, and China has always advocated friendly cooperation with foreign countries and resolving differences in a peaceful way, which has shaped the collective behavior and character of Chinese diplomats. All countries must safeguard their own interests and not back down on issues of principle, but our desire to live in harmony with the world determines the general tone of China's foreign exchanges.
The West often labels China as "wolf warrior diplomacy," with extremely sinister intentions. Looking at which of our ambassadors had a vicious and all-round attack on the countries he visited before he took office, even if the diplomatic conflicts were serious, the ambassadors would affirm their willingness to resolve differences, jointly promote cooperation, and carry forward the positive assets in the history of exchanges between the two countries. When Qin Gang, China's new ambassador to the United States, met with Chinese and American personalities before taking office, he expressed his desire to promote Sino-US trust and dispel doubts and expand cooperation, and he set an example for Burns and the like on how to go to countries with serious differences as ambassadors.
It is precisely the United States that is pushing its diplomacy toward the "wolf of war," and its diplomacy with China is like this, and its diplomacy with Russia and diplomacy with other countries with differences is not the case.
There is an idiom in China called "thief shouts to catch a thief", and the "wolf diplomacy" of the United States has made a classic interpretation of this idiom. Burns is a prominent representative who would rather be a "wolf warrior" than a friendly ambassador, and this person has done a comprehensive attack on his upcoming China than any high-ranking official in the Biden administration, from Xinjiang to Hong Kong affairs, to the Taiwan issue, the origin of the epidemic, etc., he has not left a single blank, giving the impression that he wants to come to China like a wolf to ask for guilt. His performance at the hearing opened the eyes of the global diplomatic community, especially the Chinese who saw the news.
Lao Hu, as a media person, finally wanted to say: Okay, Mr. Burns, we are waiting for you in Beijing.
