Sourced from an article that referenced TIME "Putin and Xi in Western propaganda – why does XJP get off so lightly?" - circa 2016, ahhhhh that didn't last long.
Concluding paragraph:
As more and more world leaders are emboldened to speak out against Western tyranny, thanks to Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte’s courage to make a public stand, President Xi Jinping can expect his face to morph into Putin’s, who is demonically pictured above on a January, 2014 Newsweek cover.
Putin watching an explosion through aviators giving the impression of a demonic glare - genuinely looking like a Biden 2021 cover in LATAM when the US find another lithium source
I don't like Duterte, but he makes a point. Why can't countries establish relations with China for investment purposes when the West (US and Europe) won't?
I love that the middle aged dudes that run our media learned like 3 names from the history channel and decided to stop taking in new informarion. Is there any similarity between Xi and Mao besides both being leaders of China? Or is this just another "Bernie's campaign is like the fall of France"?
Xi is also the most likely person since Mao to rule for life, but other than that, nada
I seriously wouldn't be that surprised if they've run that sort of article for every leader of China since Deng
