They are fine with “Supreme Emperor of the Sol System” though.

but she is **ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!** Xi is a dictator.
West Taiwan is mad
A dictatorship is being used in countries where the majority of people have enough brain just to keep their balance! And it’s much easier to govern, manipulate and control such people! There are lots of examples and China is one of them!
Might as well call him something like: His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
A spade is, in fact, a spade.
As much as it may not be the best idea to say it out loud she is absolutely right.
Do you want some honey with that Mr.Pooh ?
Is this a slipup? You can say that Germany is pro China so for a foreign minister to say this is weird.
They were furious, because they didnt call him Mr. Dictator.
[Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictator) Dictatorships are often characterised by some of the following: suspension of elections and civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents; not abiding by the procedures of the rule of law; and the existence of a cult of personality centered on the leader. Dictatorships are often one-party or dominant-party states.
It’s never ending with these Chinese thugs
Shrewd diplomatic move by Germany. By lecturing China, we all get to enjoy moral high ground, now Chinese will become entirely democratic like Iceland.
Die wahrheit tut weh.
The Headline is slightly wrong. It should read as follows:
“China complains to Germany after foreign minister calls Xi a ‘dictator’ after Xi ordered the foreign ministry to do so, as he does with every ministry.”
How dare she says things which are true!
why do dictators even care to pretend being democratic? it’s not like anyone believe them not even their own people.
oh no
Mao Ning calls this a provocation, while it is clearly a call for change.
Perhaps the west should more clearly state that we hope china will change their attitude to be more caring. That might help people like Mao Ning to understand.
China is a country that doesn’t handle the truth very well
Lol. Now this is brave and true, not Orbán and all the rightwing dictator bootlickers in eastern europe.
Well to be fair he is
Bet the guys on r/sino are going crazy right about now with stupid westerners said this about glorious chinese leader lol
China can go fuck itself
Typical China, ALWAYS being petulant whenever someone dares to call them out…
A rose by any other name
So I basically posted about this on my LinkedIn, telling people how proud I was that our FM told the truth…. My god the backlash, Germans are still touchy about calling other regimes totalitarian.

So sad to hear Winnie the Pooh crying…
Truth is a hard to swallow pill. Try some water.
Truth always hurts
