The Chinese made a bad mistaken giving away their language.

Dr. Pattberg’s perspective is widely misconstrued. He didn’t advocate for improved translations of Chinese concepts. He argued that they are inherently untranslatable, describing translation as a tool of linguistic imperialism.

Sales is not BS however a lot of people are called “sales people” when all they do is Standing around. Sales requires skill, love, and labor. 10,000 hours in sales, and you can sell anything!

Good observation. Never thought about it. But once you know it, it becomes obvious they do it on purpose. Thanks!

Same in Japan in the Japan Times, which cooperates with the New York Times, and the Japan News of Yomiuri Corp, a CIA font in Tokyo. It must be an organized effort and rigged game to undermine the Communist Party in China.

All those deliberate but unnecessary national adjectives like "Chinese", or "Russian", or "German" reek of trouble. Our media propagandists are psychopaths and criminals who want to stoke the flames of racism and enemy nationalism.

This is hilarious. Even the "distinguished" Asia Society, the Council of Foreign Relations, and the Foreign Correspondences Clubs in China DELIBERATELY are using the wrong name: CCP. The ONLY CORRECT name is CPC: The Communist Party of China. Better: Zhongguo Gongchandang. This Western psyop has irritated the Chinese so much that even China Daily and Global Times (occasionally) adopted the incorrect name, LOL. Language Imperialism is REAL and EFFECTIVE. Deny China her real names and correct terminologies. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0984209123

Tell a funny name often enough, and it sticks. Warsaw Pact (it was an alliance), Chinese Communist Party (it is the Communist Party), or George Orwell (he is Eric Blair), or Shinzo Abe (he is Abe Shinzo). The errors are then transplanted into the mass media, and everybody repeats them ad nauseam.

I guess Xi Jinping is very lucky that they didn't call him Kevin Jinping Xi. 🫣🇨🇳😂
