“It would be completely misguided for Britain to view China as a competitor… what do China and Britain compete with?”

The British government should not “overestimate its impact on the global scene,” spokesperson for the [Communist Party of China], Victor Gao, tells [British propagandist].

Translation: You’re too irrelevant for us to even view you as a competitor. You produce nothing.

    Victor Gao (Gao Zhikai) was an interpreter for Deng Xiaoping, but he is not a CPC member, but rather a member of China Democratic League.

    Here’s Victor Gao talking about China’s whole-process people’s democracy: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2022-11-07/How-does-whole-process-people-s-democracy-work--1eJSwwxCtji/index.html

    Some foreign news agencies even called me a spokesperson of the Communist Party of China, which is not true. In reality, I’m not a CPC member. I’m a member of a democratic party of China.

        I remember the debate some rando fox journalist had with an anchor for CGTN where the anchor stated in the beginning that she is not part of the communist party and her opinion doesn’t reflect the party line and the fox channel lady just keeps referring her as a communist party member

      Never mind, they know so little about us that if I were the director of the CIA, I would fire all the employees.Although I am from China, I still feel that the taxes paid by Americans are in vain.
