Re: The China Cultural Clash
#2火箭, unlike the "Lakers", is a common Chinese word (rockets). Expecting it to dominate the trending hashtag on a Chinese social media site is a stretch.

#3I'm addition to trade and human rights-related issues we should also be talking about the Great Firewall as a protectionist tool. China blocks & throttles European / Western digital services but we allow their tech to be sold here. That's not fair. WTO rules should be updated to address digital censorship.

#4This article frames this as the US vs China, but it's really been the "Western world" vs China.
And the western world has been incredibly naive and uncoordinated when it comes to dealing with China. We've all accepted the incredibly one-sided deal, in some kind of idealistic hope that the Chinese would latch on to "western" values of democracy etc just by trading with us.
Edit: World -> Western world.

Even worse, the search term in the image is "火影" (Naruto, EDIT: the series, not the character; the Chinese name of the series refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto_characters#Hoka... ).
No wonder they're getting results completely unrelated to basketball.

The WTO/World Bank is an arm of the US State Department.
The rules serve to further US diplomatic and corporate interests, not openness or trade.

Trust me, most Chinese people believed the same thing when they deal with other nations.
You either need to label all of them being stupid and naive; or you are saying Chinese are so smarter than anyone else...
The deals are never one-sided...

#9It appears that the third screenshot doesn't use the characters 火箭, but some other word?

That’s true, but I think unless the US acts other players will stay on the sidelines. Maybe I’ve missed it, but has the EU commenced anything that would address some of the one-sidedness? Others are either indifferent, impotent or maybe even approving of the behavior by the CCP.
