The Diplomatic Mission Reconstrued

Jing Wu stars in the 2017 Rambo-style Chinese blockbuster Wolf Warrior 2. Chinese diplomats have adopted the "wolf warrior" attitude, writes John Robson.

In its zeal to revolutionize the world order

in the greater interests of global harmony

in recognition of the harms of splitism

the Chinese Communist Party has unveiled

a brilliant new strategy of reaching out to

its governmental peers by dispatching

diplomats schooled as a new breed defending

Beijing's aspirational ideals for global

supremacy illustrating their agile capability

in fending off slurs implied and explicit

damning a human rights record reflective of

medievalism with no civil constraints against

a wicked horde of nations for whom that old

restraint 'don't shoot the messenger' has gained

them an alternative, of assigned diplomats

excelling in shooting their targets in withering 

scorn showering heads of state with contempt

as they get on with the business of China's

mission to make friends and influence abroad.
