Chinese Poison-Speak

I used to quote Der Spiegel for their venomous articles about American society and President  Donald Trump. Now it is the turn of the Chinese: Below is a quote from Global Times.

"If the US could put aside political discord for one day of the year, then Christmas should be that day. But the fact is, even a Christmas call to express holiday wishes and gratitude for US military service members around the world is still used to express extreme political sentiment. American citizens may even abuse the president with euphemistic and insulting language on the phone. Such an abnormal situation shows the morbid division in US society and an inability to resolve social problems.

"Let's Go Brandon," a father and former police officer Jared Schmeck said on the phone when US President Joe Biden and the first lady were taking calls into the North American Aerospace defense Command Santa Tracker on Christmas Eve on Friday.

"Let's Go Brandon" is a vulgar anti-Biden slogan - a sanitized version of "Fxxx Joe Biden." The slogan has become an internet sensation in the US and is especially popular among supporters of former US president Donald Trump. 

"Let's Go Brandon" shows the US' morbid division, which has almost become an incurable disease in the country. What will the country become when half of the American people's wishes oppose the other half? The current division makes the country seem as if it is heading toward an inevitable decline. In a society that is so divided, almost no problem can be resolved, nor can anything be changed."

They seem to faintly dislike America and Biden.
