A pineapple has "many eyes, it sees the opportunity ahead and faster than others" in Chinese culture.
?? Theory ??
Digging a little into possible meanings of yesterday's tweet from Pompeo and came across this:
Chinese Pineapple Symbolism Over the years doing this project, I’ve talked to many amazing people. One day, I learned about pineapple symbolism in Chinese culture. What does it mean?
The pineapple is a symbol of good luck! Because of its many eyes, it sees the opportunity ahead and faster than others.
Could this relate to the current political situation between Taiwan and China?
The CCP bailed on their contract to buy pineapples from Taiwan to screw Taiwan over and then Australian and Japan ended up buying those up instead. Pineapples have become a Chinese resistance fruit now.
Just saw, makes a whole lot more sense than good luck symbols ☺️
