What Are American CPPCC Members Doing Strutting Around China?

Recently, some so-called American senators have started strutting around China. American so-called senators are essentially China's CPPCC members — so what are America's CPPCC members doing strutting around China?

The claim that American so-called senators are essentially China's CPPCC members has basis. The Senate is roughly equivalent to the so-called upper house; the House of Representatives corresponds to the so-called lower house. These are all remnants of European historical tradition, traceable all the way back to ancient Greek times.

Regardless of how much China's NPC differs from a lower house or House of Representatives, or how similar China's CPPCC is to an upper house or Senate — even an American president or British queen has no particular right to strut around China however they please, especially strutting with an agenda.

An American CPPCC member coming to China should, first of all, receive treatment no better than that of a Chinese CPPCC member, and secondly, no better than that of an American vagabond — taking the lesser of the two. This shouldn't be a particularly difficult concept to grasp, right? Otherwise, wouldn't America's blather about "all men are created equal" be stripped bare? Wouldn't America's blather about elected officials serving their constituents be stripped bare? Are American vagabonds not American voters?

Therefore, once the treatment given to an American president or CPPCC member or congressional representative exceeds that given to an American vagabond, it constitutes the greatest insult to the American government. The Chinese people have always been polite — since American presidents, CPPCC members, and congressional representatives are public servants, servants to their voters, how could servants possibly be treated better than their masters? Regardless of what non-atmospheric components might be mixed into the hot air released by these American presidents, CPPCC members, and congressional representatives during their China visits, at minimum they should be treated the same as American vagabonds — this is essential! Chinese vagabonds can't strut around anywhere they please, and those coming from America are no different — and that naturally includes those American presidents, CPPCC members, and congressional representatives who are servants to American vagabonds!
