"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.
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.
I was half joking, the British shows are usually pretty good in their own right, but there are a lot of successful American shows based on British ones (as well as a few flops). Whether they’re “better” is subjective, but it’s a longstanding phenomenon.
The Office is the best example, but there are others. Three’s Company and its spin-offs were based on a British series. Sanford and Son, as well. Veep was made my the same creative team as The Thick of It and is a clear spiritual successor. American Idol was based on Pop Idol, the latter only ran two seasons while the former is still going.
Some British shows stand on their own, even if remakes are attempted. The IT Crowd, Red Dwarf, they tried like three different shows to try unsuccessfully to recapture the magic of Fawlty Towers.
Regardless, without British television, American television wouldn’t be the same, and without American television, most people would never have heard of most British television.
Either way, death to America and Britain as per usual.
Western presenters rarely allow an interviewee to speak for so long uninterrupted if the guest is saying something against the accepted Western narrative. Dude was either in shock to too mad to talk.
As a party spokesperson, Gao will probably stay at plausible deniability levels of subtlety with his burns. Like his statement here is obvs saying Britain isn't competitive, but he can easily claim that he's just saying they don't compete with each other.
Chen has a bit more of a free hand with which to openly slap faces.

That was Chinese only, British sent a spy in China to steal the secrets of Tea harvesting and brought it in Darjeeling which is now called the Darjeeling tea worldwide.
