In the latest bout of Chinoid clownery the MoD's spokeswoman Mao Ning has declared the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty illegal hence void. 'Wow, sounds wild, Xi just did something!' you might think. Yet not so fast: the Chinese commies have never signed onto nor validated the SFPT hence this is yet another mouthfull of hot air and they are simply posturing for domestic purposes. The 1951 SFPT has 48 signatories for what it's worth, and formalized Japanese territorial concessions including its claims on Taiwan. Ergo the Beijing turtlenecks just reiterated China's position on Japan's territorial claim on Taiwan as valid, galaxy brain thinking.
It's so silly and amateurish that one wonders if it's done on purpose. Wager that's a NO, this is how they really run their country yet a army of bots is 24/7 deployed to gaslight low info Westerners into thinking the opposite. The Chang regime is looking increasingly uncertain on how to deal with that cheque they can't cash in on, and by extension is now throwing whatever it can grab at that wall to see if something sticks.
The clownshow gets worse though. In Beijing's attempts to frame themselves as the true upholders of the International Order, international law and diplomacy (as opposed to the US), the Changs are near neurotically citing the 1943 Cairo Declaration and 1945 Potsdam Declaration in opposition to the 1951 SFPT. There is one problem though, both these agreements were drawn up before the PRC even came into existence, hence zero mentions of any Chicoms in these documents.
Big X better be making some notes on how not to run his mouth, these kind of diplomatic bloopers happen a lil too often lately. Personally I'd suggest Xi to just drop the silly pretenses and lowkey declare China to be an irredentist, rogue and territorially ambitious power. This play-pretending is really awkward and cringe.
