It's ok, Hu Jintao really didn't mind being dragged off the stage like an idiot in a country where face is everything. China does settle fistfights in private, which does set a good example for the populace, ngl.
PS: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9D%A2%E5%AD%90:
Aside from the racism of the "face culture" narrative, the guy is a dinosaur and notably not an official, just there as a matter of respect and legacy as a former President. We don't really know what happened, but those meetings are long and the dude is probably senile, so he was probably getting helped off the stage by aides at around the time they expected from the outset.
Lol Hu is 80 years young, just like our boy
Seriously, China caring enough for their elders that they don't want them shitting their pants on live television is apparently genocide now
In America no one cares about being embarrassed, that's only compatible with the Asiatic brainpan!
Toss Orientalism on your reading list:
Look, if I find it disrespectful and a scandal to watch that video, I assume that anybody who tends to value and respect the position, wisdom of their elders in an institution (more than us who throw them in nursing homes and ignore them forever) will find this pretty jarring for a well-functioning Chinese democracy.
But you guys are hilarious, finding offense where none was given, you're an amazing instance, I want you to know that, from the bottom of my heart.
I'd say your ignorance and racism are funny but na, nothing funny about you
Just pathetic
You're a child
Somos todos, caralho, se a nossa alma ainda não estiver morta.
Es portugues ou brasileiro? Tou memo a ver que deves ser um daqueles "comunistas" anti-comunista se fores portugues
哇，你真懂中国文化。只有我们中国人不喜欢丢脸，不像那些外国政治者。他们热爱在大家面前受困窘。
Muh face
Did that sound like a thing that wasn't wildly rascist when you wrote it? You can delete your comment. You simply can choose not to be rascist, it doesn't cost you anything.
