15. Yes. But whether Xi cares or not about gender, it does fit into the PR stunt nicely.

China is not pro-female at all. So he might get some milage out of it.
Chinese males will not appreciate a female standing up to them.

(It doesn't go over very well even here in the US.)

But there are some stories that Xi is becoming more isolated, power focused, etc.
He could be getting odd like Putin is. Who knows what is rattling around in his brain right now.

Yes good point on the tariffs.

Gee guys, world financial problems, global warming, serious pandemics, etc.

If we all just cooperative a little maybe we could solve some of this stuff.
