Piano Player vs. Chinese Communist Party
DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender)
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - I wanted to share the below video because I have experienced numerous incidents like this over the past 30 years interacting with mainland Chinese at military expos from the Middle East to China itself.
Granted, these are sensitive military expos, but they are also corporate business tradeshows and allow media access, especially international defense publications like my assignments for Jane’s and Defense News.
There is nothing secret about the equipment on exhibit and each time I was invited to attend, then reinvited again and again.
Yet they occasionally go apeshit for no apparent reason.
After these incidents, though I have never been arrested, I have certainly been followed around by Chinese security folks and photographed (mostly Airshow China at Zhuhai). See photographs below.
I saw a group of mainland Chinese attendees at a Singapore Airshow deface the booth of Taiwan’s Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) with black magic markers. It was a childish and bizarre stunt. Singapore Airshow officials did nothing about the incident.
Mainlanders use DARVO (deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender) when engaging a target.
The video shows this is spades.
I have also spoken to U.S. State Department folks who have experienced this in meetings in Washington, D.C. over issues regarding the U.S. government’s position on Taiwan and the South China Sea. A group of very stern Chinese embassy officials will march into the office of a State Department official and take turns screaming at them.
I am not joking.
DARVO, now practiced by Western Social Justice Warriors or the Woke, can be extremely effective in rattling your confidence. The victim of the tirade often apologizes in the hope of reducing the screaming. It only adds fuel to the fire.
