Chinese Government Sponsored Rap Group Releases Anti-THAAD Song

Just when you thought the anti-THAAD silliness in China couldn’t get any stupider along comes this:

A rap group backed by China’s government is warning South Korea in a music video that “you’re going too far” with the deployment of a U.S. missile defense system, as Beijing seeks to bring its state-supported cultural forces to bear in the international dispute.

A member of the group CD REV said government officials worked with them on the video and helped to promote it on foreign websites, many of which are blocked in China by official censors emboldened by the ruling Communist Party’s warnings against foreign “cultural infiltration.”

In the song, group members chant that “about THAAD we say no, no, no,” a reference to the U.S. Army’s missile defense system formally known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense.

Later in the song, they refer to South Korea, saying, “this time, kid, you’re going too far” and “your big brother’s annoyed,” a nod to China’s view of itself as the pre-eminent political and economic power in northeast Asia.  [Stars & Stripes]

TTANSLATION:

you sould be mad
’cause you got the THAAD
can’t say why, but it must be bad

cozy up to China
and it would be rad
stayin’ with America will make you sad

listen to your mom
and listen to your dad
you don’t want to have that THAAD

only a cad
would follow that fad
so if you have it, you will be had

take those things
off the launchpad
and you will be glad

life will be better without that THAAD

VERDICT: Chinese suck at writing rap

With more people than any other country, the Chinese are really working overtime to be this lame.

South Korea would not need THAAD if China would keep their feral dog in check…
