Original title: The BBC reporter in China had a barbecue in Beijing and saw the staff wearing it
[文/观察者网 赵挪亚]Remember that BBC Australian reporter Stephen Mcdonell (Stephen Mcdonell) who “showed” his vaccine against China on Twitter? This time, he said that he had a barbecue in Beijing, and he saw the clerk wearing “the Chinese don’t eat this set of” clothes, and he didn’t forget to make a comment.
MacDonald wrote on Twitter on June 3: “Chinese nationalism has always been so weird? Tonight I went to a barbecue restaurant in Beijing. This restaurant is located in an area with foreign embassies. All the staff wear these T-shirts. The shirt. It says:’Chinese people don’t eat this set. The United States is not qualified to speak condescendingly to the Chinese.'”
The number of comments, retweets, and likes received on this Twitter far exceeded MacDonald’s usual Twitter, but many people criticized him for “double standard”, and a Canadian network “big V” said that he wanted this. T-shirts. Until June 6, MacDonald still reposted tweets supporting his views on Twitter and “interacted” with netizens.
After posting this tweet on June 3, MacDonald later made a lot of prejudiced remarks piecemeal. For example, he said the following day: “I myself worked as a waiter in Australia. Imagine how you would react if the boss handed you a piece of Australian nationalist clothes. “Australians don’t eat this set. , (Insert country) is not qualified to speak condescendingly to Australians.’How ridiculous and stupid.”
He also brought the “rhythm” to the Beijing Winter Olympics: “I tell people who don’t understand humor: It’s very strange and funny, because a few months before the Beijing Olympics, a boss asked his employees to Wear this in a restaurant in the embassy area. Beijing welcomes you! La la la la…”
McDonald posted this content three times.
However, in the comments, some people do hold ideological prejudices and support MacDonald’s statement, but many people do not agree.
For example, a Twitter netizen claimed: “I want to know whether these people (waiters) know that their country has been’interfering’ with other countries through industrial and military espionage, and economic manipulation.” This article received 49 likes.
However, another netizen cleverly ironically said: “Laughing to death, are you talking about the United States? Another typical American who thinks they can be the only bully in the world.” This article won 87. great.
Someone pointed out McDonald’s double label: “If an American wears a T-shirt, it says: “Let China not influence the United States”. Will you still be so angry? I doubt it.”
“American patriot, yes! Chinese patriot, no! All right.”
“What’s wrong with shouting out to resist American bullying?” This one got the most likes, reaching 301.
Interestingly, a Canadian Twitter “Big V” named Rob Rousseau still left a message below: “Do you know where I can buy these T-shirts?”
According to public information, McDonald once worked for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and then joined the BBC as a reporter in China. He has been sharing his life in China on Twitter. Although there is no shortage of tweets affirming China’s national defense measures and “browsing” himself to use China’s Sinopharm’s new crown vaccine, he usually makes comments on all aspects of China.
The source of the text on the T-shirt taken by MacDonald is the speech of Yang Jiechi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Leading Group, at the China-US High-level Strategic Dialogue on March 18 this year.
At that time, Yang Jiechi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group for Foreign Affairs, reprimanded in front of Blincoln and Biden’s national security adviser Sullivan, “We thought you too well. We think you will abide by the basics. diplomatic protocol. So we have to clarify our position just now. Let me say one thing now, you are not qualified to say in front of China that you talk to China from the position of strength. “
After China said this sentence, it caused widespread repercussions around the world. After seeing the live video, the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zakharova “clapped hands and cheered” on her Facebook account on March 19 and reposted the video.
There is also a foreign netizen who felt the changes in the world pattern from a short 1-minute video clip. “No country dared to make such a sound in the past, the world has heard it.” He sighed.
