So thrilled that they gave him a standing ovation, according to Reuters.
He has defended China’s stance on Taiwan, equating the self-governing island’s relationship with the People’s Republic to Hawaii’s position vis-à-vis the United States.
The standing ovation is just a new, cringeworthy way to follow the money.
Xi received a standing ovation as he entered the room and before and after he took the stage, the report said.
