CCTV FOLLIES 4.10 CARROTS AND STICKS FOR TAIWAN
Ma kowtows to Xi's vision of China's Taiwan -"No knots that cannot be untied...no force that can separate us" -Xi's Falcon force keeps China safe -Offensive charm - Western weapons in Russia's Ukraine
Ma Ying-jeou pledges fealty to Xi’s lofty, unwaveringly firm vision of China’s Taiwan
Supplicant Ma Ying-jeou looks adoringly at big Xi; big Xi looks elsewhere.
The Taiwan mind meld: “People on both sides of the Strait share the same bloodline, culture and history. External interference cannot hold back the historical trend of national reunification. Xi underscored the importance of guarding the common home of the Chinese nation resolutely.”
Xi Jinping speaks! Factotums listen. Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum take notes.
Representative youth invited to the summit sit erect and on edge listening to big Xi.
When big Xi is finished making his off-the-cuff remarks, the applause is remarkable.
Ma Yingjeo also attended the meeting. ;-)
The Falcon is looking for a place to land. A tough counter-terror unit struts their stuff.
This elite commando force under Xi’s tutelage takes its terror seriously.
In this context, terror is whatever Xi says it is.
The Falcons resolutely defend the party under the undisputed leadership of Xi.
Falcon Commandos are loyal to the party. Xi is the party head. It’s all about Xi.
Listening to the Falcons offer up Xi testimonials, you begin to get the feeling the Falcon force is his private Praetorian Guard, and in a way it is. Loyal to Xi alone.
The commandos are under Xi’s strategic command. The fact that Xi personally “answered” a letter chokes them up and brings tears to their otherwise manly eyes.
“Xi’s response was so encouraging to Special operations officers and soldiers”
Live-fire practice under the inspiration of Xi has to be seen to be believed. Next level.
We are so thankful for Xi’s support of special operations officers and soldiers!
Tested by fire for tough battles ahead.
Any resemblance to a marine landing on an off-shore territory such as Taiwan in order take it by force is entirely coincidental.
(No animals were harmed in the making of this propaganda film.)
It’s so exciting, it’s so well-staged. It’s almost like the real thing!
The frontline training is second to none.
In other news about China’s latest charm offensive, Micronesia’s president continues to get wined, dined and wowed in a battle for influence with the nefarious US.
Once a junior partner, always a junior partner. Small nations should know their place.
The pièce de résistance is getting Micronesia’s prez to personally lay a wreath commemorating the so-called “People’s Heroes” who include the soldiers who took Tiananmen Square by force in 1989 among other party-designated martyrs.
It’s just a tradition. Just like paying respects to select war dead at Yasukuni Shrine in Japan is just a tradition.
Up next. Auto export boom. Odesa hit. CCTV maps it. Russia continues to pacify Ukraine. Russia complains to UN. Ukraine makes desultory effort to fight back. Russian Defense images rule the roost. Iceland on fire.
