I am surprised that you had to point that out, if I am honest. I’d have expected people who have reasoned opinions on China to understand that basic part of Chinese (or possibly Asian-at-large) culture.

IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks agoOkay I hate to be the person to point this out, but as a Chinese-American, this is a pet peeve of mine:
Xi is the family name, Jingping is the given name. When you refer to world leaders, its typically referred to by their family name.
They say “Chairman Mao”, not “Chairman Zedong” lol. Same for Xi
(This is not to be misconstrued as an encorsement of the CCP, I just want to correct your use of language 😉)
