First of all Bessent doesn't like the "P" word and I'll put in context "disrespectful and unhinged"-a Chinese official that is NOT fearful,submissive and weak-unlike perhaps TW or SK or Japan-he can't deal with it ,trading blow for blow by a peer/or more adversary.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case; Asians in the anglosphere are “encouraged” via negative reinforcement to not be assertive and strong willed, and even further, Anglo society will ostracise white women who do associate with Asian men, this is most pronounced in a society like Australia which worships whiteness and has a perennial fear of Asia integral to its national identity.
Does this remind you of anyone? Say, the current vice president of the ROC in Taiwan?
Anglo American attitudes towards Asia are exactly like the conquistadors of South and central America ie the worship of whiteness is so enshrined that they will only promote half white half castes into power to govern the natives as the Spanish also practiced in their colonies with mestizos And half castes into power. It also explwins why Hollywood films always have to portray East Asian characters with half caste features to serve white supremacy. They had such a hard time casting jet li as a romantic lead for eg, the entire Anglo American power structure is governed by sexual insecurity and castration anxiety.
Based, if true.
It would make sense as well for listing Chinese companies on HKSX as opposed to the enemy’s Wall Street. Let them come to HK, let Wall Street whither.
