and that’s it,” a social-media user called Zhang Beihai wrote to her 2.6m followers on Weibo, a Twitter-like platform. “He deserved to perish.” Another Weibo user went further: “His whole family deserves to die.” The
, using microblogs, short videos and messaging apps to wage furious verbal campaigns against “traitors”, “spies” and “secondary devils” .in 2020, when she wrote the 60th and final instalment of an internet diary about life in Wuhan in central China when the pandemic began. Her journal had described not only the hardships of the world’s first city to experience a covid-19 lockdown, but also her own.
. Taking control of the island has been a project of Chinese nationalism since 1949, when the Communist Party seized power on the mainland, forcing the defeated Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang , to flee to Taiwan. In 2017 China’s leader, Xi Jinping, said the country’s “complete reunification” was an “inevitable requirement for realising the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”, which he has said should be completed by mid-century. Like his predecessors, he has not ruled out using force.
But Mr Li’s opinions are controversial, even within the establishment. In 2020 Qiao Liang, a hawkish former general, published an unusual rebuke to those who have been demanding an invasion of Taiwan. No government decision, he said, is made merely on the basis of public views. “Restraining factors must first be considered.” He wrote that doing otherwise “may be patriotic in name, but harm the country in practice”.
During the pandemic, however, the party has propelled popular nationalism to new heights. Its propagandists speak of “the West’s chaos and China’s order”—a line that at least until recently has resonated with many Chinese who appreciated the party’s huge effort to keep the virus out of the country and to deploy legions of people to contain outbreaks at home. As a result of this vigilance, the death toll was kept extremely low and most Chinese were able to go about their lives much as normal.
Mr Xi knows how difficult it sometimes can be to keep patriots on message. The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 were a dramatic example. Students took to the streets chanting “patriotism is no crime.” They described their actions as a “patriotic, democratic movement”—hoping that highlighting their love of China would help to temper the party’s hostility. Their tactics worked, for a while, as leaders bickered over whether or not to acknowledge the students’ patriotism.

This red flag is really beautiful!

Keep wailing. Mad hypocrites.
Multi-country nationalism leads to world wars.
It's not nationalism it's pure Communism, People have only forgotten what red communism looks like.😇
Mr CCPbruce_haigh Surely as a 'progressive' you wouldn't like this type of hard nationalism? Be ideologically consistent wouldn't it?
Anti 🇨🇳 propaganda 🤣😂😁
Just remember, if you get called a troll, a bot by Trump fans, it's freedom of speech. But if you get into an argument on Weibo, Xi Jinpin personally orchestrated
Same thing the RNC did.
Good for them. More citizen loves the country.
We were educated that the U.S. is the biggest enemy ever to our great nation China since I was a little child, followed by Japan then. We were having prepared fighting back in silence in the past dacedes, now the chance finally comes.
Remember Putin is scared of the UN. Scared people are violent. No one said they will protect Ukraine. Everyone said they will protect Taiwan. If war breaks out in Taiwan we all lose TSMC. That means no more fancy chips for anyone.

Just because you have an excuse for behaving like a marionette does not meant that you were not always a marionette.
That is not unprovoked, please mind your words
Of course it will, but we’re too busy with finding out what a woman is.
Cuban Socialdemocrats believe that in the best interest of humanity, Russians and Ukrainian belong together. Our General Secretary lived 6 years in Russia, 2 years in Kazakhstan and 28 years in the United States.
Meanwhile the Yanks continue to occupy Syria...
You serious？Unprovoked? emmm, that's funny
target changed repeat target changed☝️
You think? Duh!
Nationalism helps Ukraine resist Russian aggression. Western officials should wonder whether 'communism' in China and elsewhere will lead to similar destruction.
Dear Economist: China was not COMMUNITS ...China Today is NOT NATIONALIST ... China is COMMUNITS SOCIETY: Marx's Ideology and words are still applicable. OUR USA DEMOCRATS are trying to use DEMOCRATIC CENTRALISM pointing to INSTITUTIONAL POWER struggles, political maneuvering
lmao Which country did China invade again? I only know that Britain has overseas colonies and overseas military bases so far! It is a fact that NATO invaded many countries for no reason.
Why’s America more worried about Russians and Chinese than Americans, most especially Americans living in the USA? I’m just curious to know.
What about the ugly form of USA nationalism/imperialism that lead to several wars, coups and fascist dictatorships ALL over the world (especialy in latin america) since 1945? Do that concern you as well?
This antichina propaganda is so dumb and just seems u r all really afraid of it
the economist, “the British millionaire rag” trying to foment war with China? UK has 0 independence from the US state department so it seems they can only parrot what their masters say lol
Let’s muster all our strength with our allies full participation & strength and double X 10 the number & power of weapons we have already sent. The Ukrainians will not back down. They are, in effect, doing our fighting for us ! Like Hitler before WW2, NOW is the time to WIN!
It’s a question of when not if whilst Xi remains in power. There appears 3 options 1. At an “appropriate” time after Ukrainian War ends. 2. When US gets distracted. 3. Now. Let’s examine each in turn. 1/n
MORE RICE IS IN BETWEEN BOWLS AND FACE IN THE WORLD THAN COFFEE HOMIE. RESPECTCHINA
Unprovoked.
Unprovoked? conveniently forgotton the shenanigans of NATO in Ukr in the past?
Have you ever written about the ugly form of U.S.A nationalism and imperialism which led to invasions/bombings/assassinations/coups in 20+ countries since 1945? Or do your magazine and writers just spend all day fearmongering about Russia and China?
This is the lowest Type of journalusm you will find around... These Guys never visited University's classroom!
Trump, Modi all. Same thing.
Unprovoked? You’re kidding, alright?
Yellow Peril just turned 152, as healthy as ever.

Your western bias is showing. What about our white privilege in the US? Trump’s mob? China has its flaws. But so do we. You can sense China’s unity of purpose and truly amazing things like transportation that put the west to shame. They think in centuries not quarterlies.
China was on decline as corruption infested the society but this man , Xi jinping , put it on track after Mao
The country is preparing for war: cementing control of territory, (Hong Kong, Xinjiang), instilling discipline, (COVID lockdown), and arousing the public emotion. This is where we are.
Our President Xi will rule the world, he is the supreme human being. Western countries should be afraid.
