People’s Republic of China Mocks the President (and Us)

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  January 23rd, 2011 at 06:31 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

[I've been sitting on this all day, hoping for a perfectly logical explanation.  Alas, no dice.]

The PRC had one of their pet pianists play an anti-American, Korean War-inspired ditty (did you know that we’re jackals?  Did you also know that Marxists are incompetent buffoons who can’t feed themselves, or the countries that they manage to control?) at the White House without the administration twigging to that fact.  And it wasn’t really an accident, either.  Supposedly, everybody in the PRC with a television set (under different circumstances I could have written that out as ‘everybody in Taiwan,’ but then Taiwan is a First World nation, while the PRC is a Third World one with nukes) was tipped the wink to watch ahead of time.  Got to love the professionals running the US Government these days, huh?

You know, I had a rather elaborate and convoluted post planned out on how an imaginary American pianist played a thoroughly anti-Chinese (and still popular!) song right under the noses of PRC bigwigs, but this failed because American culture has been rather ruthless about stomping on that kind of thing recently.  The best example I could come up with on short notice was “Chin Chin Chinaman,” which is from the 1890s and isn’t even American.  Besides, to make it particularly true to life it would have ended with the PRC seizing the pianist, shooting him, then charging the American embassy for the bullet.  That would have spoiled the ‘joke’ by making it unbelievable: even this President couldn’t have ignored that.

I think.

Ach, well: as the Russians would say, the current Chinese dynasty has always been a bit nyeh kulturny.

    Obama knew the song, and enjoyed hearing it. His Mother probably sing it to him as a lullaby.

    Anti-American… that’s Obama

    Incompetent

  • saterp

    calls the tune. Are we 100% PRC owned yet, or does O need a second term?

  • schooky

    You should start all of your posts with PS. That way we are laughing or crying before we even get started reading.

    PS. I am so winning the caption contest again this week.

    PPS. Unless of course, that is not allowed.

  • smitch61

    And why are we not surprised? Offended yes, surprised? not really.

  • Tbone

    Obama was humming along.

  • america1st

    but ?bowma & its fellow travelers here at home are *?????* ?? ????????? – and that is being both kind & diplomatic !! **** ** ** ** * ***** ******* [redacted per site requirements], it is a long way from being truly an American. Sorry, Seabiscuit, but ever since your beta male throw rug took over, it has shamed us all with every breath. Its contemptible incompetence is at least one order of magnitude worse than that of jimmuh piddlepants. If there were ever a reason to amend the Constitution to make “gross incompetence” grounds for impeachment, carter & ?bowma are it. 2013 cannot come soon enough. And yes, I’m being civil.

  • america1st

    the site will display Cyrillic characters in the comment field when entering, but not in display – sorry for that. The series of question marks represent Russian words translated as “VERY uncultured” in English – a much more powerful criticism in its Russian meaning than here.

  • throwback59

    that fact an treat them as such.

    I mean – really – especially now.

    The Chinese may have some engrained hatred for America, but their much-needed symbol of American weakness – the object of their derision – is uniquely Barack Obama. They can’t possibly think his incompetence is indicative of Americans generally.

  • earlgrey

    with himself.

  • edwyrd

    nero played his gutair as rome burned. then built a giant mansion (domus aria) on its ashes. when they finally disposed him, while his slave cut his throat, he said, “rome loses a great artist in me”. we have our nero, and we need to dispose him before americxa burns to ashes

  • kowalski

    The Chinese have got their great adversary on the ropes and hey baby, from their point of view having a little instrumental accompaniment there during the big State Visit is just icing on the cake.

    They already own us, they know they’re going to hurt us a lot worse. And man, it’s going to hurt.

  • edwyrd

    in no way implies any violence toward our president. i was merely drawing attention to obvious similarties in vanity and delusional mentality

  • kowalski

    I have the feeling that the beginning of this century is rapidly shaping up to make the beginning of the last century look like a test run in how to kill people. You have someone bring the pianist to play the propaganda tune at your own banquet and frankly we’re not far away from some really, really serious stuff.

    It’s highly probably if that serious stuff occurs that about 10% of us will survive. I hope to meet all my friends here on the other side.

  • kowalski

    So we’re supposed to turn the other cheek.

  • edwyrd

    kowalski!

  • Ann_W

    why would they not think that Americans are incompetent?

    Honestly, most people don’t really follow or care about politics that much.

    We can say it’s part of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.

  • Doc Holliday

    I don’t agree with it, it is part of history, but archaic.

    This I do agree with, and always brings a tear

    so does this

    I noticed that, but decided not to try again, that timing thing lol.

    was that an attempt to squash out elitism among “readers”?

    is that I’ve been a member here longer than my short term memory works. :-) Of course that just means more than the last couple of days.

    q: how long have you been a cop

    a: as long as I can rember

    q: how long can you remember

    a: about 4 years ba du ba!

    Well I noticed the change after the directors put a few people (not me in this case)in their place. I have never posted a “look at me” diary nor plan to, but my five year anniversary is this month. I guess I will have to go with the old Indian saying. q: when were your born? a: in the summer

    An interesting little fact that I’m not quite sure how to completely connect the dots on just yet, but..

    As we all know, GE’s CEO (lead ranger on the fusion of state and industry, Jeffrey Immelt walked away from the decidedly different than we are supposed eat state dinner.. with a little more than the gaudy appointment as Chairperson of the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-18/ge-to-announce-projects-in-china-yielding-2-1-billion-in-revenue.html

    You see, until the early 1990′s Chinese railroads were primarily STEAM powered, using, primarily locomotives that were designs that would’ve been obsolete in mainline service in the US after 1920. The last were withdrawn from service in 2003

    . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Railways_QJ

    Obviously, when you are planning to attain superpower status this is decidedly unhelpful.

    Their initial push to dieselize came with the assistance of Electromotive Diesel (formerly the Electromotive Division of General Motors, then a subsidiary of Greenbriar Equity Group LLC and Berkshire Partners LLC for about five years, until sold to Progress Rail, a subsidiary of Caterpillar in its effort to translate its heavy equipment expertise into an effective rail presence)

    http://www.emd-china.com.cn/

    http://www.emdiesels.com/emdweb/products/jt56ace.jsp

    EMD was able to supply locomotives powered by its four cycle ?265H? 6000 horsepower locomotive engine or ?prime mover?. EMD developed this engine in the mid-90?s for domestic service as power for its SD90MAC locomotives, but it quickly fell out of favor for a variety of reasons, including ?teething pains? (EMD had always produced two cycle engines and now for domestic service, it only offers its ?710? two cycle prime mover).

    By selling the 265H to the Chinese, EMD got a chance to develop its new engine, and whatever its faults, it was still a quantum leap over the ?QJ? steam locomotive.

    Funny how GE?s pandering to the Manchurian er President, results in this order

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-18/ge-to-announce-projects-in-china-yielding-2-1-billion-in-revenue.html

    But then again, GE is increasingly company that?s part of the international military-industrial conspiracy.

    http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/company-news/is-ge-arming-china-to-compete-with-america/19804834/

    Somehow I don?t imagine SEIU will be picketing GE execs, though.

    Oh yeah, by the way Cat?s CEO publicly disputed the assertion Obama made about cat doing extra hiring as a result of the ?stimulus?. Hmmm?.on second thought, I think the dots are now holding hands.

  • Doc Holliday

    I am not populist or isolationist, but the facts are clear. We are addicted to Chinese goods and those goods SUCK!

    I am looking for a decent coffee maker but only one or two are not made in China. Don’t try the famous American brands, they are all made in China. They break after a year or two.

    I am down to a Bunn or this very expensive item. http://www.amazon.com/Technivorm-KBT-741-Moccamaster-Polished-1-25-L/dp/B002S4DI2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1295848313&sr=8-1

    yeah it is expensive, but one thing I have learned, it is very expensive to be cheap.

    We need to hit the Chinese where it hurts, stop buying their crap. I saw a documentary recently and the so called poor Chinese working in factories making cheap trinkets for Americans were not thankful for their jobs. They mocked us all the time for buying such crap.

    The Chinese asked for American style entertainment and food. That makes it particularly offensive. I read that the pianist is an American of Chinese descent. That’s pecular.

    No wonder why Sasha Obama is learning to speak Chinese.

  • edintexas

    I don’t know where you read that. He is Chinese, born in China, and keeps his Chinese citizenship – while living in New York. I was couldn’t find info on-line about his immigration status, but he has put his Chinese passport on the internet after rumors arose that he was taking up American citizenship.

  • edintexas

    “I was couldn’t…” What happens when you start “I was unable”, and incompletely change it to “I couldn’t” after completing the paragraph.

  • Doc Holliday

    I think a fortnight will suffice. I like to leave some extra room just to be sure :)

  • drskipper

    A whole lot of years ago I was in training with some troops from other countries – including some Chinese troops. During that training and over some rice wine I happen to hear the song. It is a very, very pretty song and made us all homesick. That song was more about going home (wherever that might be) then about being patriotic. Never references wars, battles or any of those things – just a simple song probably about some Chinese troops that were in a place they didn’t want to be, getting shot at and shooting back and being scared after it all stopped – kinda like I have been. And after a few cups of rice wine there were no Chinese or Americans or anyone else – just a bunch of grunts who wanted to go home. And to the Chinese that song represented home – and after hearing it (or at least the part that I could understand) it kinda represented home to me too. But at least I got to listen to it again – and it brought back a whole lot of memories of some damned decent infantry troops who just happen to be from another country.

    It’s so nice to get positive feedback.

    PS: Spare us any attempts to try to rewrite the conversation into something where you’ve actually won; based on your earlier response, you’re not very good at it.

  • kowalski

    That more than anyone in the world, the Chinese did what they did to their own people, themselves, as is completely apparent to anyone who has even for an instant studied China in the past half century.

    They enslaved their own people, they forced them into a box, and then America gave them a way to raise their people’s real fortunes and this is how they repay us? With a propaganda piano ditty during a state visit?

    What a colossal schmuck Hu made of himself. We’ve done nothing but help China in the past 20 years.

  • Flagstaff

    Even in Hawaii.

  • edwyrd

    kubla khan bragged to marco polo that between him and his grand father, genghis khan, they killed 50 million chinese people, which at the time was 50% of the entire population of china. multiply that out in todays numbers.

    in the now famous song (at least on redstate) we are called jackels, if i am not mistaken. i see a common thread of anglo-animosity that stretches through WW2 (we backed shanghai shek) into the korean conflict ( where the song has its origins), through the vietnamese war onward to present day. they have been our enemy for 60 years, longer if yoiu include the “anglo” opium wars.

    additionally taiwan will provide all the rationalization they need for an all out conflict when the time favors their victory. read ART OF WAR.
