So, here is Xi Jinping giving his speech at the #20thPartyCongress. How many American or Indian pundits and politicians are watching this? Probably zero.
The refusal to understand one another is the root cause of all geopolitical problems.

After Xi’s speech, read Western media and you will see the ignorance and hubris. No mainstream media will report the specifics of the speech.
Nothing about China’s plan for development.
Instead, it will be recycled cliches — authoritarian gov, Xi is the next Mao blah blah.

Speeches of Chinese leaders are “boring,” while Indian/American leaders give exciting speeches! Why?
In a democracy, politicians need the attention & love of an average person. Thus, the speeches are emotional.
“Make America Great Again”! Woohoo!! 🎉

But emotional promises are cheap.
Thus, Trump never managed to make America great;
and Modi’s vision of “Make in India” — to make India a manufacturing powerhouse — failed to materialise.

Meanwhile, Xi Jinping talked about the “China Dream” in 2012.
And a decade later, China has surpassed that vision to an impressive degree.
How do we know that?
Just look at America’s desperate and extraordinary sanctions to hobble China! 😂
