No offense but don't let Xi's daughter anywhere near power

The fact she's still living in the US at this late date and is a Havard grad definitely means she's a uber lib

The CPC seems to have no trend toward familial political dynasties so I wouldn't worry about it. They solved succession issues that lots of other communists failed to.

Hi dumb person here, what is their solution?

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

they are called "Princelings" if your parent was a high ranking CPC memeber and basically you are seen as cringe if you try to get into politics. You won't get promoted to high levels just because you have that label. A lot of Princelings just go into business now instead of politics.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So an unwritten rule that has no mechanism of enforcement?

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

yes it is just party custom, it would basically just be discrimination otherwise to bar the children of officials from office. But PR China is a party state so the CPC can regulate their officials in ways beyond legal statues. And a princeling can overcome the custom if they are competent, but your work will be held to a higher standard within the party. Xi is technically a princeling, his dad was a high officer who was purged in the CultRev and later rehabilitated. But Xi did good work in state bureaucracy at the lower levels so the party kept promoting him. Xi for his part has kept up the suspicion towards other princelings during the anti-corruption drive.

Western media about princelings is delusional though, talking about them as like some elite aristocracy within the party (projection). The truth is that they are just the generation who was able to get the earliest benefit from the Chinese economy and culture finally modernizing (higher education, new industrial sectors) and as more Chinese people get those opportunities I think princelings will become less relevant all around.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

i mean wasnt Xi a Princeling as well

[–] jack@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

I do not know - probably mass line democracy?

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Especially if she stayed in Massachusetts.

Not even commiefornia?? Very dangerous

holy shit we're gonna get a live stream of the PLA blowing Loomer's brain out the back of her head

[–] shallot@hexbear.net 81 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think I’m going to confront her on video and ask her about her father

I’m a totally serious person btw

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Dude is gonna get shot by PLA or whatever China's secret service is, there's no way she's in america without guards.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

She said it herself lmao

Afraid of those PLA guards (i have no idea if they are even real though)

Archduke Laura Loomer's assassination kicking off WW3 is going on my 2026 bingo card

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 58 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

it would be so funny if Laura Loomer doing this is what pushes Xi Jinping to adopt and advocate for hardline anti-american policies

[–] EatPotatoes@hexbear.net 64 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It’s extra funny and tragic considering that he is actually enjoys a lot of aspects of USasians and has shown incredible tolerance so far. He has two wolfs and one just wanted to grill.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 51 points 3 days ago

deng-cowboy many such cases

[–] MelianPretext@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The West is losing their great clash of civilizations to a country led by someone who is not only John Deere tractor-pilled but also human history's first Iowa stan.

As China's leader's daughter why would you go to Harvard in this current decade

[–] axont@hexbear.net 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

She began attending Harvard in 2010, when Hu Jintao was president

[–] SamotsvetyVIA@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

god smite me if im still in academia after 15 years

[–] axont@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

She seems to have graduated in 2014 with a degree in psychology

Send her ass to community college with the rest of us.

Playing on easy mode

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 71 points 3 days ago

Such a fucking dumb country

[–] InappropriateEmote@hexbear.net 53 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd love to read Xi Mingze's perspective on all of... this. I wonder what she thinks of the rampant, incessant, unhinged sinophobia drooling and frothing out from the mouths and the worm-eaten brains not just of conservatives but of the liberal "intellectuals" here, especially considering she must have been surrounded by some of them at Harvard. Even if most of the ones she would come into contact with might view her as fellow nobility albeit from the enemy side, the absurd hatred of the see-see-pee and her dad, the gommulist dictator Xi must not be an easy thing to endure.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 55 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd be worried that she is completely insulated from all of it and has a very grill-pilled perspective.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

In The Governance of China, Xi wrote about how too many people are grill pilled and it's an obstacle that must be overcome to continue building towards communism.

Anti-Christmanist thought

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 57 points 3 days ago

Free speech except for leftists.

[–] AvocadoVapelung@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

so is this actually laying the groundwork for straight up holding xi's daughter hostage, or am i jumping to conclusions? doomer

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 41 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Why the fuck would anybody give this person a single fucking mote of attention

[–] dead@hexbear.net 33 points 3 days ago

In private meetings with Trump, she told him to fire people from his cabinet, including Mike Waltz and 5 other members of his security cabinet. She had told Trump to fire Mike Waltz before he was implicated in the Signal chat leaks. She has some influence with Trump.

Okay, genuine question is why does Xi Jinping's daughter live in the US if she's done going to college here? Did she only just finish or what? I mean I know the answer is because she wants to but why though?

I hope she didn't catch the liberal brain worms while here. Hopefully it's just a kind of crucible thing to see the horror of the monster up close.

[–] SamotsvetyVIA@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope she didn't catch the liberal brain worms while here

let her, is china a monarchy?

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Imagine running China, being principled Marxist-Leninist, doing so many things, fighting the great struggle, authoring great works of theory, speaking at length and you lose your child to liberalism. That's horrible and as someone with empathy I said as much. Don't take it so seriously.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 48 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm sure she's happy to leave voluntarily.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i'm shocked she'd stay and only a little less shocked no hog has murdered her

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

That's probably what the actually goal of all this is. Besides the grifter attention, of course.

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Trump's mistress starting ww3 trying to kidnap xi's daughter would be a pretty funny casus belli ngl

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

the only way this could go badly is if xi mingze's entryway has double doors

[–] 11092001@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

High key, Laura should try to humiliate Xi's daughter and to deport her when she gets stonewalled by the PLA guards. Then at least then more of illusion of the USA's progranda is vanished in the eyes of Chinese citizens. They are still very much USA dickriders based on what I see on RedNote.
