Obligatory “please apply this writing style to the west” moment:
I had half expected to see a stiff and upright colonel of the kind I used to meet in the RAF, lips covered by a drooping mustache, mouth dripping with tea, constantly muttering ‘wot wot wot’ after everything he said.
THE YANKEE SPOKESMAN was right on time for our meeting. I was a little surprised by his appearance; I had half expected to see a loud cowboy of the kind I used to meet in Texas—mouth occupied by a cigar, a wide-brimmed hat adorning his head and a revolver in his belt. Instead, Matthew Miller was a neat-looking fellow in a European-style business suit and a purple tie. He kept a physical distance as he greeted me, his manner arrogant but formal, as if to register that his country was unassailable.

I feel so seen
Sickos for Hexbear American Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson!
I am glad that the only qualifications were “sunburns easily”, “nicotine-addicted”, and “wheelguns, more like realfuns”
My biggest disappointment with Chinese social media is that whenever I try to do this they start calling me a racist.
where is the big fluffy hat and red outfit??
NGL, I’d respect our politicians and diplomats more if they all dressed like the Scarlet Pimpernel
