The 'wolf warriors' represent a different type of diplomat to the famously bland Chinese foreign representatives. They are taking to Twitter and other social media platforms to hit back directly at any criticism of China or the ruling Communist Party.
It's a phrase that is now used widely in Chinese state-run media as well as Western publications, and it was made clear last weekend that its proponents have the full support of the country's top diplomat.Speaking at a press conference in Beijing Sunday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China would now push back against"deliberate insults.""We never pick a fight or bully others. But we have principals and guts.
— Hua Chunying 华春莹 May 24, 2020 China's ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming has been another keen"wolf warrior," regularly using Twitter to hit back against critics of Beijing in Europe.Speaking to state media on Monday, Liu said that the term"wolf warrior" was a misunderstanding of China's foreign policy, which he said was an"independent foreign policy of peace," but added sometimes a strong hand was needed.
