Today in House of Cards, fact or fiction?: China’s ambassador to the United States, Cui Tianki, said that the show “embodies” American politics, the South China Morning Post reports.

Speaking as part of a panel as part of the Chinese People’s Political Consultive Conference, Amb. Cui said “I have seen both seasons of House of Cards, which I think embodies some of the characteristics and corruption that is present in American politics.” Here’s more from the SCMP:

The Chinese diplomat, who previously studied in Washington, DC – the setting of House of Card’s intricate political machinations – added that the show’s story of bipartisan competition and corruption largely mirrored recent affairs.

“Currently, Americans are arguing and debating on how their two political parties have become so extreme,” Cui said. “Many things can never be accomplished because the interests of each party are of the greatest importance.”

Harsh. Careful Amb. Cui, I wouldn’t be walking near any shady, desolate ends of Metro platforms anytime soon, if I were you. Just sayin’.
