🎶Ninety-nine Red Chinese balloons…🎶
Zhongnanhai is embarrassed that it got caught.Humiliated that it has been shown to be so low-tech backward.
Ashamed that nearly everybody is pointing up in the sky and laughing at them.
Mortified that the 🎈has replaced the 🇨🇳 as the symbol of the real China.
Regretful that at a time when they want better relations this bullshit 🎈 happens.
"that booby nation. ...China, reverend dullness! hoary ideot! all she can say to the
convocation of nations must be –“I made the tea.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal & Miscellaneous Notebooks (1824)
No self-respecting people wants to be tight with “that booby nation.” Their natural soulmate is 🇷🇺.
