    I can't even begin to imagine what's going on here, but I know there were some declassified recordings and we know that:

    racism

    Nixon compared Indian women to Black women and said, “I mean, people say, what about the Black Africans? Well, you can see something, the vitality there, I mean they have a little animallike charm, but God, those Indians, ack, pathetic. Uch.”

    .

    Also I'm pretty sure at some point Nixon and Kissinger (of course) tried to get China to pressure India over the Indo-Pakistan war.

      This seems much more plausible than my silly attempt. Didn't even consider the India aspect of it.

          I think it's supposed to be a Chinese chud, but also I've never seen a Chinese person who looked like that

    Okay, I think I got it. It's about a very specific guy: a Chinese expat living in France (beret(?), bottle of wine(?)) who is very angry about China opening itself to western markets (Nixon, Deng) and is posting about it by pretending to be an African man who smugly denies modern China's role in assisting with the economic development of some African nations.

    I... think...?

    Guys there's literally PragerU videos on Weibo. Just because he's Chinese doesn't mean he's a comrade. This is literally just a 4Chan meme from some self-hating Chinese guy living in England.

      counterpoint: watching new scientific research that pushes the frontiers of philosophy, anthropology, and sociology emerge in the comment section is really funny

      This meme is truly one of the greatest conundrums of the 21st century, and we may never truly know what was meant by it.

      It is racist. Top right says "posted from England". It's either some self hating lib or some barely sentient Anglo that managed to stumbled onto weibo. Normal people don't use wohaks in China.

      Edit: He seems to be an ethnic Mongol Chinese 4chan (hence the wojaks, which all the people replying to him are confused by too) edgelord who hates Han people but is also a (RETVRN to Qing) nationalist? Dude is literally saying slurs in half his posts. He literally posted a happy merchant meme (https://wx4.sinaimg.cn/orj360/008yj1KWgy1hmuvc403izj311w0pjn84.jpg) Weibo users are all unhinged.

      Also found a post where he says he doesn't believe in evolution, and another where he talks about how his white father in law is super racist towards him for being Asian, which he in true self hating fashion says "why must he mistake Mongols for Cantonese". I can't tell if this account is a bit or if this guy is really like this lmao.

        Chinese people live in England. It is a common destination for foreign students. London has a centuries-old Chinatown.

        for what it's worth, VPN use is very common in china and as such the "posted from" field could say anything

      asked some chinese friends about this and they all got in a left wing struggle session over it and the passage has a ton of chinese communist internet slang in it, but yeah basically its very dengist and kinda brainwormed and confused and quite a bit misogynist and the maoists and more radical xi jinping fans dont like it. my take is that this is essentially what you get from spamming communist propaganda at a reactionary, a very confused misogynist that occasionally says something nice. also apparently he says some racist falun gong shit while saying communist shit? also discusses 'the piano in a factory', a movie, which i think is what the meme is about

      has a lot of conflicting ideas in it to say the least, or the guy is so unclear with his usage of slang that it sounds conflicting and unhinged

        He's a Chinese nationalist (in a RETVRN to Qing sort of way) who is also a Mongol chauvinist from what it seems. Like the mirror image of racist Taiwanese dudes lmao. He seems to be a 4Chan user who has internalized all the anti-Chinese racism and just redirected it Han people, in particular southerners.

        Same guy has said that:

        • He doesn't believe in Evolution

        • Germans are subhuman

        • He refuses to get vaccinated

        • French condoms are smaller than all other European condoms

        and other insane shit.

          I wonder if he has any relation to the “Chinese intellectual dark web.” https://thechinaproject.com/2019/03/13/chinas-intellectual-dark-web-and-its-most-active-fanatic/

          If you ever see those alt history maps of Balkanized china with a bunch of weird ancient names or even completely obscure names that show up in footnotes, it’s because of weird trad RETVRN Chinese guys who worship Europeans

    I'll take a stab at it.

    So first, this is pro-Deng seemingly. Working from that premise, I think it is making fun of ultras having to play it cool for Nixon so Deng's plan could work properly, and how they were actually super upset about it and drinking? a lot?. The dark skin mask is also showing that part of the plan was to play to Nixon's racism, he just sees easy to exploit cheap non-white labor.

    I dunno, I guess that will be my head cannon until I discover otherwise.

    A black faced yellow skin wojack. Is that Nixon? Don't know who the pepe thought sun guy is. Is this comentary on the west outsourcing their labor to China/Asia and Asian cope as new conent slaves of western capitalism? Alcohol as a coping mechanism. Don't know what the hat is. Could be completely off base here.
