lip service

Inviting 100 million Chinese to go to the US for dinner, this is simply incredulous. Putting aside the question whether this American gentleman is rich enough to do so or not, just ask the US embassy visa officers: at what time will they sign visas for 100 million Chinese people? This is typical of American brag: they bombast without ever giving a damn about the likelihood of ensnaring themselves in the end. I asked some Americans about this and they told me that the Americans are all lip service, or in other words, you do not take them seriously. That’s freedom of speech: one can freely challenge the government, bombasts and lies are commonplace. Americans only abide by legal instruments, once they have signed the contracts, they will be serious.
