the fact that the character 鲁 used to transcribe the first part of his surname (“Ru”) means dull is coincidental. There are some standards according to which foreign names are transcribed to Chinese, and this is what Ru happens to translate to. Previously it was a different character because they used a different standard. Usage of 鲁 in his name isn’t new either, according to Chinese wikipedia it’s been used since as far back as 2015 by some news agency in China. It’s only recently that the chinese government caught up too.
yeah, is it just me or are half the posts on politics from clickbaity websites that have no context, or nuance. or they’re opinion pieces where someone got SLAMMED and this is for sure the last straw. I’m starting to think the problem on reddit wasn’t reddit, but that people just suck lol. maybe I just need to find a new instance.
