Commander Yu Fei: “Welcome to the Wolves. So, how was it? The welcoming ceremony to the Wolves. Awesome, isn’t it? Do you know why? Tell him why!”

Wolves: “Because we’re the fucking best!”

Fei: “Tell this new guy what the motto of our detachment is.”

Wolves: “Be humble!”

~ A funny and memorable scene in the original Wolf Warrior (2015) that, in my opinion, better encapsulates the spirit of #WolfWarriorDiplomacy than its better-known sequel.

Why #WolfWarrior? Because it’s a film series that’s, one, directed and starred by Wu Jing whom I’ve been a fan of since childhood; and two, appears to prove my “#Hollywood #WhiteSaviorComplex” theory. It’s entertainment when Hollywood makes a film about saving the world from alien invaders, zombie apocalypses, or the Third Reich. It’s propaganda when literally any other country does it.
