So the German embassy in China thought they were clever.
They posted on Weibo, a person holding a blank piece of paper.
Obviously in support of the protests that happened in China
But the Chinese on Weibo is having a field day, photoshopping jokes on them...examples in the🧵
This one says:
"German soap is very good, but too bad, you only have cold water to shower"
This is a double entendre
Because Germans during WW2 used the fat from murdered Jewish victims and turned them into bars of soap
This one say:
"Glory to Russia"
Mocking the constant blabbering of "slava ukraini" by German and other EU embassy Weibo accounts
This one says:
"The German government would like to apologize to the 158,000 people who died of covid in Germany"
This one says:
"Lessons learned
Next time, let's hope the middleman do not siphon off the money we pay for the protesters
And also, make sure the protesters learn the local dialects properly"
This refers to a string of incidents, where protesters were promised certain amount of money, only to have most of that taken away by the middleman organizers
It also makes fun of locals scolding "protesters" from out-of-town who don't speak the local dialect
This one says:
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong"
This makes fun of a paid protester, who immediately apologizes and admitted wrong doing, as soon as he was dragged away by the police
Some of you might say, hey, that's pretty cruel
Well.. 1) Don't sell your country out
2) I have heard from a national security insider, that these low-level paid protesters will only get a warning and a phone call to their parents
It's the organizers that needs to be worried
This one says:
"Costa Rica, send us home"
Referring Germany's poor performance at the World cup and will be eliminated if they lose to Costa Rica
This one says:
"American master, please be kind, and give us some natural gas"
"Z"
Can my Russian friends translate the Cyrillic?
I think it says Slava Rossiya
This one says:
"I didn't return my shared bike"
Referring to this protester, being led away by police,
who is more concerned about the potential 50 RMB fine than the actual protest
We Chinese know of the protests, and we are against the foreign backed color revolution
Perhaps this is why western media is lying to your face, claiming the Chinese don't know of the protests

The Trump-Zelensky fight was the unintended consequence of a setup from both sides.
Zelensky wanted to act tough on camera, and Trump got cold feet and wanted to back out of the deal presented by Rubio.
Ultimate fault lies with Rubio and his State Department.
Here's why🧵: 1/8
The details of this mineral for protection deal would've been drafted by the State Department, and sold as a profitable business transaction by Rubio to Trump.
Trump initially liked it, but reality probably set in for him.
Rare Earth minerals are not rare per se. However, because of its low concertation, mining it requires a robust mining industry.
It is only economically viable IF your country has an existing robust mining industry.
