Chinese media celebrates Xi's deceptive G-20 speech

Continuing their collective celebratory dance over his leadership, China’s state-run media is telling its citizens to be very proud of Xi Jinping’s G-20 teleconference speech on Thursday.

With a smiling photo of Xi floating through some clouds, Xinhua proclaimed the Chinese Communist Party leader’s “important speech entitled, ‘Hand in hand to fight the epidemic and overcome the difficulties.'” The title’s lack of originality aside, Xi’s speech encapsulated the narrative China wants to broadcast to the world.
