...XI JIN PING!
Xi Jinping is transforming Russia through his Belt and Road Initiative. And not just Russia, but the world "will follow Xi's example to achieve peaceful development, use philosophy to harmonize all nations, and achieve the building of great world community."
Laos is another powerful example. China is using the impoverished, landlocked country as part of its push for a joint prosperity sphere in Southeast Asia.
(note the nine-dash line wrapped around Taiwan and encircling the South China Sea as far south as Borneo)
"Taking the people's heart as his heart and the interests of the world as his interests, President Xi’s approach of acting on his own, governing the country and caring for the world moves participants..."
Xi was also a big hit at Nazarbayev University, if you remember that one.
How best to put it? Xi is the star, the hit, the high wherever he goes. He stands in the center of every group picture, he is trailed by world leaders anxious to get in a word with his aloof person.
They're still talking about his visit in nearly every place he's ever visited
He is the belt, he is the road.
Hailed near and far as a great visionary...
The UN is where he shines especially bright...
Wisdom met with adoration equals power.
The Chinese way isn't the only way, but it's up there with the best, and probably is the best, all modesty aside.
Even exotic countries with unusual rooftops would agree...
Xi is working for humankind.
Xi is working for humankind.
And the children! Xi not only brings joy to the naive tykes of the world, but his inspiration gets fully grown men acting like silly kids, full of thumb-up enthusiasm.
Among other things, China gives anonymous aid to the needy with no strings attached.
Saudi Arabia is another great case study of Xi inspiring Xi-style development. Let the desert bloom!
Did you ever wonder if there is a solution for climate change? It causes ice to melt and poor people to beg for food.
Look no further than to China...
(where the sun has been made to stand still in the sky for hours on end during extended sunsets)
(where the sun has been made to stand still in the sky for hours on end during extended sunsets)
China has the answer and the answers...
China cares about the earth...
(And China attacks climate change aggressively, flying big jets, building luxurious fast trains, launching huge cargo ships and supplying the world with goods so they don't have to be manufactured at home.)

What's not to like about that?
