‘A victory for peace’: China helps broker Iran-Saudi diplomatic agreement

[AA_]

This is the exact kind of mindset and intolerance for which you guys made entire South Asia and the middle east a war zone....I enjoy when people really get frustrated and come up with their true upbringings although everyone like you says that they are true to their beliefs and religion.

That is some aggressive diplomacy trying to wedge a split in US global alliance. But it seems to be working.

Anyway Off Topic I really wanted some chinese members to help me regarding a recent article I read.

How Is India Viewed in China?​

This was written by a Chinese Author, Mu Chunshan. A Beijing-based journalist and is from the prestigious "Diplomat" magazine.

The article says,

"Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has an unusual nickname on the Chinese internet: Modi Laoxian (莫迪老仙).

Laoxian refers to an elderly immortal with some weird abilities. The nickname implies that Chinese netizens think Modi is different – even more amazing – than other leaders. They point to both his dress and physical appearance, seen as laoxian-like, and some of his policies, which are different from India’s previous ones.

In particular, as discussed above, India led by Modi can maintain a balance among major countries in the world. Whether it is Russia, the United States, or Global South countries, India can enjoy friendly ties with all of them, which is very admirable to some Chinese netizens. So the word “laoxian” reflects the complex sentiment of Chinese people toward Modi, combining curiosity, astonishment, and perhaps a dash of cynicism.

I have been doing international media reports for nearly 20 years and it is rare for Chinese netizens to give a nickname to a foreign leader. Modi’s nickname stands out above all others. Clearly he has made an impression on Chinese public opinion."


How accurate is this assessment and what does (莫迪老仙) mean in Chinese ?

@beijingwalker can you assist ?

"老仙" means a preacher(charlatan). China is an atheistic country, you can guess whether the word "老仙" is derogatory or commendatory.

"老仙" is not to praise Modi for how magical he is, but to laugh at Modi for inciting stupid Indians like a preacher inciting ignorant people.

In a sense, "老仙" means more like "clown", "liar" and "leader of fools".

 

[MH.Yang]

there is no better country than China to broker a peace on Ukraine as well

China can't do that.

Saudi Arabia and Iran are fully sovereign countries with independent diplomacy.

And Ukraine, their president is Jewish, and all their cabinet members have American nationality, it is a colony.

The Anglo-Saxons will let Ukraine shed its last drop of blood for the benefit of the Onkola Saxons.

It is both, it is more a positive nickname derived from appearance and garment Modi wearing.

Bearing general netizen don't know much about India politics other than the impression that it is exceedingly difficult running a huge messy country like India.

Thats your job to stop it, but alas, Pakistanis are lazy and can’t think outside of the box. And what sectarian groups are you talking about? That war ended 20 years ago. It’s GHQ that funds anti Shia groups and Anti Sunni groups to keep dividing Pakistanis.

Oh please, if you actually think this way, you clearly don't understand the geopolitics of the region. The Iranians and Saudis continue their funding of groups within Pakistan. The Pakistani government is just too weak to do anything about it.

Why don’t you stfu pagan and stick to gang raping with the Call Center gang

Instead of posting a fascist comment like this, how about actually countering his point?

Chinese culture prefers leaders who do things seriously and talk less nonsense. Modi, a politician who likes to hype and brag, will be despised and rejected in China.

So "老仙" is completely a derogatory term. Its original meaning is "swindler who swindles by spreading superstition and religion". When used on Modi, it is more similar to the combination of "clown" and "swindler".

The name of "Modi Laoxian" comes from a novel character "Xingxiu Laoxian"星宿老仙.

"Xingxiu Laoxian" likes to brag, lie, behave strangely and funny....And he has a group of stupid believers.

Combine all features. The Chinese believe that Modi is highly consistent with Xingxiu Laoxian. So. The honorary title of "Modi Laoxian" is given to Modi!!

Thank you for the reply.

This explanation seems more likely and is in line with my understanding of chinese culture, society and chinese values.

Of course chinese are also known to be shameless liars which is why I had asked this question to @beijingwalker who is relatively more "honest". But his silence only seems to confirm this explanation.

The explanation given by the chinese journalist in his article was completely out of tune with actual chinese culture.

Glad to have this point cleared up.

The US and NATO wont let Ukraine to negotiate peace with Russia as China being the broker. US has already said that and discredited Chinese peace plan.

Why do Indians want to understand Chinese culture?

You know. The Chinese just look down on the Indians. It doesn't mean they lie and brag like Indians.

This is an internet forum with rules. Either follow them or leave.

If you're that passionate, join the army.

As for your comment about being involved with the region, I have no idea what that means, nor does it even negate my views.

Why don’t you follow your own rules instead deleting my comments. The enemy can come on here and spew any hateful agenda they might have, but if we answer in similar language, you get upset. The wokeism, Gora as* kissing must be strong within you isn’t it? Let me guess you’re a product of “enlightened moderation” generation. Man GTFO with the double standards you and your cronies of admins display.

I didn't delete your comment. I don't have the power to.

It doesn't matter, I'll let the mods deal with your dumba55.

blame the russian military. Their underperformance on the battlefield is what gives the Ukrainians false hope.
