In the world, a new age has come..... nobody is reacting fast enough to it...or is prepared for it .... it is a GLOBAL WORLD ...... nobody could have or should have expected the unbelievable speed at which technology has taken over.

Obama (USA) and Jinping (China) have a handle on it...I believe .... it is a world that needs to smarten up or destroy itself ..at least the human part of it. ... others of course know this too, but they are the 2 big guns. .....

“Why must we stand firm on the Party’s leadership over the military?” Xi continued, “because that’s the lesson from the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the Soviet Union where the military was depoliticized, separated from the Party and nationalized, the party was disarmed. A few people tried to save the Soviet Union; they seized Gorbachev, but within days it was turned around again, because they didn’t have the instruments to exert power. Yeltsin gave a speech standing on a tank, but the military made no response, keeping so-called ‘neutrality.’ Finally, Gorbachev announced the disbandment of the Soviet Communist Party in a blithe statement. A big Party was gone just like that. Proportionally, the Soviet Communist Party had more members than we do,but nobody was man enough to stand up and resist.”

[…] Xi Jinping didn’t mention “political reform” in the new southern tour speech. In fact, he has not made any reference to it since after the 18th Party’s Congress. Instead, in his southern tour speech, he laid out his ideological bedrocks: “Only socialism can save China. Only (economic) reform and opening-up can develop China, develop socialism, and develop Marxism.

This was from 2 years ago.

He certainly is better that other leaders China has had. Respect, no. Has the guy ever actually done anything or did all his power just drop onto his lap because his parents happened to be near the power.

Does he have the respect of the people. Probably not. In China the people don't respect the government, they fear it.
