The Chinese regime’s media has continuously promoted Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s high-profile speeches he delivered at the APEC and G20 video conferences. Xi laid out his ambitious plans of building up China and on the surface it sounds impressive. However, it won’t change the fact that the regime is becoming isolated from the international community. Xi’s grand plans only serve to maintain his authority within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
