Chairman Rabbit (兔主席, a.k.a. Ren Yi, grandson of Ren Zhongyi, a CCP leader), writes a blog popular among youngish Chinese professionals. He’s a robust, Harvard-educated defender of CCP-led China and thinks a hypocritical West is trying to suppress China’s legitimate rise./1

He thinks Western democracy is flawed, perhaps even falling apart. The Economist had a chat with him a while back when he bravely defended Fang Fang (not)./2

As @niubi and @zichenwanghere have pointed out, Rabbit been taking some flak from his readers on his views on the China-Australia bust up, so methoughts it would be worth taking a look at what the wolf bunnies are saying./3

I’ll quickly lay-out Rabbit’s views & then review the most-popular comments. Here’s the post: https://t.co/3gQrtNrVVR. Rabbit looks ahead to President Biden prioritizing repairing US relations with the US allies. He thinks Biden does not want conflict with Beijing.../4

...but (wisely) points out that being nice to Beijing would be hemlock to the Democrats’ future electoral chances, given the rabid “populist right-wing”. (Not because of anything Beijing has done.) So don’t expect US-China relations to improve much at all./5
