The exhortation was made by Peoples’ Tribune, which is affiliated with party organ People’s Daily and came just ahead of a key meeting of top officials this week to lay the groundwork for the leadership reshuffle next year.

The article, published on October 18, also echoed praise from senior politicians earlier this year, calling for Xi to be named “the core” of the party leadership – a term that carries strong political meaning.

We can read more about the life of President Xi Jinping, than about our very own dear leader.

Also when Xi was a low level functionary visiting Iowa about thirty years ago, he made a good impression with the locals.

Try and find a similar story about 0bama?

No I do not want to live under Xi, but he has shown skill as a leader and a people person.

Ah...”a strongman so the nation could again rise to greatness...”

What a concept! What a different story America would tell if had someone like that eight years ago.

Trump or bust...

Couldn’t we at least give them Hillary!?
She already has a chairman wardrobe!
Plus she would fit in with all the authoritarians!

Chinese love pork. Obama? Try to find a story where Obama had pork.

See, if Paulie Nonuts, Speaker of the House, had any brains— and he doesn’t— he would have invited Obama to a pig roast.
