« Some foreigners who’re into minding others’ business, recently poked hands towards our affairs. China, first of all, doesn’t stir up revolution in other countries, secondly we don’t contribute to famine and poverty, thirdly, we don’t mind your business. Period. »This is the speech given by Xi Jinping in 2009 Mexico when he met local Chinese community. The first time that Joe Biden met Xi Jinping is in 2011 in my hometown. I’m 31, and people like me can tell what’s a person like by talking over just one meal, as old as Joe Biden, I bet he’s already got to know this young man from head to toe. Before leaving China, my last job got very close to him, but I turned around and traded this « honor »quote, for 300 dollars. I joked with my friend, that he worths 300 dollars from my side from then on.To get a common Chinese middle-aged man is easy. Basically you’d be a prostitute if you want to get along with them. It sounds radical, I know. But that’s the reason why you don’t get along with them now. Think about it. Just suddenly you figure out they didn’t treat you as dude as they claimed by words, then you snapped up. I know it sounds stupid to mention « love » in this discussion, but I have to tell you that’s the root problem for Chinese, including Xi. Most Chinese families don’t know what is  « love », what’s worse, they replace the sense of love by the sense of control. If you have any Chinese friends, you’ll more or less feel it. Millions of family tragedy can be summarised as the tugs-of-war between « controlling » and « being controlled ». If you stick to this order, you’d be praised as « filial piety » , a misunderstood version of love over China’s  thousand years history. And then let’s put it into larger picture, it’s the binary of « ruling » and « being ruled », this non-republic, feudalistic political thought is still underling China’s governing system, and the kind. It’s a backward civilisation, I say it as a Chinese myself.
