Looking tired and anxious, Beijing’s ambassador (in Canberra) Cheng Jingye has almost entirely retreated from Canberra’s diplomatic social scene. It turns out enemies are everywhere.
There is a lot to worry about in the paranoid Xi Jinping era, especially for a cosmopolitan United Nations specialist like Cheng. For China’s diplomats, potential enemies are everywhere, inside and outside their walled compounds. Every encounter is a test of loyalty - and all recorded on their embassy’s or consulate’s Hikvision surveillance equipment.
… with the wolf warrior volume turned up to 11, there is grumbling in Beijing about China’s anti-diplomatic diplomacy. Some voices have even suggested China may have clubbed Australia a bit too hard.
Even Xi seems to think it is time for some tinkering. At a Politburo study session last week, he told his senior colleagues that China needed to tell its story better and win the struggle to be more “loveable”.
